Lung Resection Surgery

Lung resection surgery is a medical procedure in which a surgeon removes a part or all of a lung. This surgery is commonly performed to treat lung cancer, severe infections, or other serious lung diseases. The procedure can involve removing a small section (lobectomy), a larger section (pneumonectomy), or just a small piece of tissue (wedge resection). The goal is to remove the diseased or damaged lung tissue to improve breathing and overall lung function. Recovery can take time, and patients often need rehabilitation to adjust to changes in lung capacity.
