What is Lobectomy Surgery?
Lobectomy surgery involves the removal of one lobe of the lung due to conditions like lung cancer, infections, or benign tumors. The lungs have multiple lobes, and removing a diseased section helps prevent the spread of disease while allowing the remaining lung tissue to function normally. This procedure is often performed using minimally invasive techniques such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or robotic-assisted surgery, ensuring a faster recovery and reduced complications. Patients typically recover within a few weeks, regaining improved respiratory function and quality of life.
