Segmentectomy

Segmentectomy is a lung-conserving surgical procedure in which a specific anatomical segment of the lung is removed rather than an entire lobe. The lungs are divided into multiple segments, each with its own airway and blood supply. This procedure is commonly performed to treat early-stage lung cancer, localized infections, or small tumors while preserving as much healthy lung tissue as possible.

Your Care Journey

We believe in complete transparency. Here is what you can expect at every step of your procedural journey with our specialized medical team.

Before Surgery

Detailed staging scans (CT/PET) map the lung segments. Pulmonary function tests evaluate lung volume and tolerance. Adjust medications, stop smoking, and fast before surgery.

Day of Surgery

Under general anesthesia, the surgeon accesses the lung segment via VATS. The specific segment is dissected, the airway/blood vessels tied, segment excised, lymph nodes sampled, and chest tube inserted. Takes 2–4 hours.

Post Surgery

Monitored in recovery. Chest tube is managed to clear fluid and air. Deep breathing exercises and early mobilization begin. Discharged in 4 to 6 days.

Recovery Timeline

A clear, clinical timeline to help you prepare for a safe and comfortable journey back to health.

Day 1

ICU monitoring, pain control

Day 2–3

Chest tube management and mobility begin.

Day 4–6

Discharge from hospital

Week 2–4

Resume light daily activities

Week 4–8

Full recovery and return to routine

In conclusion, segmentectomy is a highly effective and lung-preserving surgical procedure for treating localized lung conditions.

Common Questions

For patients with limited breathing capacity, segmentectomy preserves more functional lung while treating early-stage cancer effectively.
