A lobectomy is a surgical procedure where an entire lobe of your lung is removed for a variety of reasons that may include a lung cancer diagnosis, infection, COPD or benign tumors. There are three lobes of your right lung and two lobes of your left lung.
A cut (incision) will be made on the front of your chest at the level of the lobe to be removed. The cut will go under your arm around to your back. When the ribs can be seen, a special tool will be used to spread them apart.
