Lung Resection

Lung resection is a surgical procedure in which a portion of the lung is removed to treat diseases such as lung cancer, infections, damaged tissue, or benign tumors. Depending on the extent of the disease, the surgery may involve removing a small part of the lung (wedge resection), a segment (segmentectomy), an entire lobe (lobectomy), or an entire lung (pneumonectomy).
