About Lobectomy

Your lungs help you breathe air and supply your body with oxygen. Lungs are indeed made of lobes. When one of these lobes gets affected the doctor needs to remove them surgically. Surgeon needs to gain access to chest cavity after making an inscision and then they remove only the affected part or lobe. Rest of the lung tissue remains functional as normal. This can also be done with the help of VATS, the procedure is less invasive.
