A lobectomy is a type of lung cancer surgery in which one lobe of a lung is removed. (The right lung has three lobes, and the left lung has two lobes.) A lobectomy is also occasionally performed for other conditions, such as tuberculosis, severe COPD, or trauma that interrupts major blood vessels near the lungs.
There are two major procedures that are often done to remove a lobe of the lung. In an open lobectomy, a lobe of the lung is removed through a long incision along the side of the chest. In a VATS lobectomy, a lobe is removed with the use of a camera and special instruments through several smaller incisions in the chest.
