Right middle lobectomy

Pneumonectomy is an effective treatment for certain intrapulmonary or bronchial diseases. Depending on the nature and extent of the lesion and the patient's lung function, one side of the lung can be removed (i.e., a total pneumonectomy); partial lung resection can also be performed (including lobectomy, segmental resection, or wedge resection); two can also be removed One lung lobe, or lung lobe plus lung segment (or wedge-shaped) resection; sometimes it can also be done (or staged) on both sides of the lung lobe or lung segment resection. In some patients, the mediastinal lymph nodes, the pleural wall, or part of the diaphragm are often removed at the same time as the lung lobe or whole lung is removed. In principle, the scope of lung resection should be sufficient so that the lung lesions are completely resected without residual recurrence; however, they should be cut as little as possible to preserve as much normal lung tissue as possible to maintain better lung function.
