Helping you understand Our healthcare
A Lobectomy is a surgery to remove one lobe of the lung that contains cancer. Humans have five lung lobes — three on the right side and two on the left.
A Pneumonectomy is the removal of an entire lung. It is done when the cancer is large or involves the main airway or blood vessels.
Surgery removes the cancerous part of the lung to prevent the cancer from spreading. It gives the best chance for a cure, especially in early-stage lung cancer.
People who:
- Have lung cancer that has not spread far.
- Have good lung function (breathing tests are done before surgery)
- Are fit for major surgery
The surgery usually takes 2–4 hours, depending on how much lung is removed and if lymph nodes are removed too.
