Pneumonectomy

Pneumonectomy

A pneumonectomy is a surgical procedure involving the complete removal of one of the lungs. It is typically performed to treat severe lung diseases or conditions such as lung cancer, extensive tuberculosis, trauma, or infections that have caused irreparable damage to the lung tissue. This intricate surgery requires a highly skilled surgical team and is considered a last resort when other treatments have failed. The procedure involves making an incision in the chest wall, accessing the affected lung, and carefully disconnecting and removing it from the body. The surgeon must navigate delicate structures like blood vessels, bronchi, and nerves to ensure minimal damage to surrounding tissues. Following a pneumonectomy, patients require intensive postoperative care and rehabilitation to adapt to life with a single lung. Recovery can be challenging, involving breathing exercises, physical therapy, and adjustments in daily activities to accommodate reduced lung capacity. While the surgery can significantly improve a patient's quality of life and may be life-saving, it also carries risks such as infection, bleeding, and complications related to anesthesia. Close monitoring and follow-up care are essential for managing potential complications and supporting the patient's recovery process.
