Normal postoperative appearances of lung cancer

Abstract The major lung resections are the pneumonectomies and lobectomies. The sublobar resections are segmentectomies and wedge resections. These are performed either through open surgery through a thoracotomy or by video-assisted mini-invasive surgery for lobectomies and sublobar resections. Unde...

Description
Summary:Abstract The major lung resections are the pneumonectomies and lobectomies. The sublobar resections are segmentectomies and wedge resections. These are performed either through open surgery through a thoracotomy or by video-assisted mini-invasive surgery for lobectomies and sublobar resections. Understanding the procedures involved allows the normal postoperative appearances to be interpreted and these normal anatomical changes to be distinguished from potential postoperative complications. Surgery results in a more or less extensive physiological adaptation of the chest cavity depending on the lung volume, which has been resected. This adaptation evolves during the initial months postoperatively. Chest radiography and computed tomography can show narrowing of the intercostal spaces, a rise of the diaphragm and shift of the mediastinum on the side concerned following major resections.
