Lung Cancer Surgery in Karnataka

Types of Lung Cancer Surgery

Lobectomy, removing an entire lobe, is the standard operation for most early-stage lung cancers, while segmentectomy or wedge resection remove a smaller portion for patients with limited lung reserve or smaller tumors. Pneumonectomy, removing an entire lung, is reserved for centrally located tumors, and all these can be performed via open thoracotomy or minimally invasive VATS/robotic techniques depending on tumor location and patient fitness.
