How Thoracoscopic Lobectomy/Segmentectomy is performed
This procedure is often used for well-localized lesions, sometimes combined with intraoperative imaging. Typically, thoracoscopy is performed under general anesthesia, and the corresponding pulmonary artery, vein, and bronchus are dissected layer by layer. The diseased lung lobe or segment is resected, and hemostasis and lymph node assessment are performed as needed; a chest drain is placed. Postoperative monitoring includes lung re-expansion, air leak, and pain. Respiratory training and early mobilization are conducted with the goal of controlling infection and reducing hemoptysis. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
