Sublobar resections (wedge, segmentectomy) may be acceptable in patients who have marginal cardiopulmonary reserve or in those with exceptionally small tumors. Minimally invasive video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) techniques, in particular VATS lobectomy, are being increasingly utilized and championed...
Wedge resection (segmental resection):This involves the removal of a wedge-shaped portion of the lung that includes the entire growth along with some surrounding tissue. Lobectomy:The right lung has three lobes and the left lung has two lobes. Alobectomyinvolves removing one of the five. It's...
(only on R side) Sleeve resection: cancerous lobe is removed and segment of the main bronchus is resected Pneumonectomy: removal of entire lung Segmentectomy: a segment of the lung is removed Wedge resection: removal of a small, pie-shaped area of the segment Chest wall resection with ...
Depending on the stage and type of lung cancer you have, your doctor may recommend a wedge resection, in which the surgeon will remove the tumor plus a wedge-shaped perimeter of healthy cells around it. With more invasive or later stage cases of NSCLC, your doctor may recommend a lobectomy...
With a 3-year follow-up, they reported a favorable outcome compared with historical studies of wedge resection for the treatment of high-risk patients with stage I NSCLC.56 Download: Download high-res image (519KB) Download: Download full-size image Figure 4. CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery for...
This study aimed to compare the postoperative quality of life (PQOL) between non–small–cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who underwent video–assisted thoracoscopic sublobar resection (subsegment, segment, or wedge) and lobectomy. Meanwhile, we developed a PQOL scale for patients with NSCLC aft...

The surgical procedure chosen depends upon the size and location of the tumor. Surgeons must open the chest wall and may perform a wedge resection of the lung (removal of a portion of one lobe), a lobectomy (removal of one lobe), or apneumonectomy (removal of an entire lung). Sometimes...
Especially, the segmentectomy mentioned in our data does not include the wedge resection. In addition, results showed that the operative time was shorter in day surgery group than in normal group. With the popularization of VATS, the proficiency of surgical operations has been continuously improved,...
Thus, the P/F ratio at the time of donor recovery, after bronchoscopy, and after recruitment with visible atelectasis, is the most reliable value. The recent International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation report on deceased donors clearly demonstrates no discernible difference in either 1-...
