A lung resection is an operation to remove part or all of an organ. In most cases, doctors resort to the procedure for lung cancer.
What is the difference between lung cancer surgery at home and abroad?
Specialists of foreign clinics perform resection using video-assisted thoracoscopic VATS method. They perform manipulations through 2-5 incisions of 2.5 cm. After such a procedure, the patient recovers faster than after a traditional open operation.

- accreditation and certificates of the clinic;
- reviews of surgery for lung cancer at the medical center.
Operation types
Atypical (marginal) lung resection
Excision of the affected lung tissue without taking into account the localization of blood vessels and the structure of the bronchi.
Advantages: allows you to preserve the healthy part of the organ as much as possible.
Disadvantages: The procedure can cause severe bleeding and organ dysfunction.
Typical lung resection
Excision of the affected part of the organ, taking into account the anatomical features of the lungs. Types of procedure:
- wedge resection - removal of the neoplasm and a small amount of healthy tissue;
- segmentectomy - removal of a segment of the lung;
- lobectomy - removal of a lobe of an organ;
- bilobectomy - resection of the right lung. During the procedure, doctors remove 2 lobes;
- pneumonectomy - complete removal of the lung.
Advantages: the procedure is accompanied by fewer side effects than marginal resection.
Disadvantages: during an atypical resection, the doctor removes more healthy tissue than during a marginal one.
How is the intervention going?
The surgeon performs manipulations through an incision up to 20 cm.
Advantages: The operation provides the doctor with good visibility.
Disadvantages: The procedure leaves a large scar. Hospitalization lasts up to 2 weeks.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic lung resection ( VATS )
The surgeon operates through 3-5 incisions up to 2.5 cm. Through one incision, he inserts a tube with a camera that transmits an image of the lungs to the monitor. Through the rest of the incisions, the doctor performs manipulations with the help of special tools.
Benefits: VATS leaves small scars. Rehabilitation is 2-3 times faster than after open intervention.
Disadvantages: The procedure provides the doctor with less visibility than traditional open surgery.
Operation abroad: nuances
