Understanding Lung Surgery
Lung surgery encompasses various procedures that are performed to treat conditions affecting the lungs. These may include:
- Lobectomy: Removal of a lobe of the lung to treat cancer or other diseases.
- Pneumonectomy: Complete removal of a lung, often in cases of advanced lung cancer.
- Segmentectomy: Removal of a segment of a lobe, suitable for early-stage lung cancer.
- Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS): A minimally invasive technique that allows surgeons to view and operate within the thoracic cavity.
Conditions Treated at Our Lung Surgery Center
Our lung surgery center specializes in treating a wide range of pulmonary conditions, including but not limited to:
- Lung Cancer: Early detection and surgical intervention make a significant difference in survival rates.
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Surgery may be an option for severe cases where other treatments fail.
- Pneumonia and Lung Infections: Sometimes, surgical drainage or intervention is necessary for severe infections.
- Interstitial Lung Disease: Certain patients may benefit from lung surgery based on specific disease progression.
Our Surgical Procedures
At Neumark Surgery, our procedures are designed with patient comfort and safety in mind. Our surgical techniques include:
1. Lobectomy
The lobectomy procedure involves the resection of a lobe of the lung. This surgery is often recommended for patients diagnosed with lung cancer. Patients can expect a thorough consultation to discuss risks, recovery, and outcomes.
2. Pneumonectomy
Pneumonectomy is typically performed in cases of extensive lung disease. This procedure requires a significant commitment to post-operative rehabilitation, and we provide comprehensive support for recovery.
3. Segmentectomy
This less invasive method involves removing a specific segment of lung tissue while preserving the remainder of the lung. It is particularly beneficial for patients with small, isolated tumors.
4. Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)
VATS represents an innovative approach to performing lung surgery through small incisions. Recovery time is generally shorter, and patients experience less post-operative pain.
Pre-Operative Assessment and Care
Before any surgical procedure, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted to ensure that each patient is fit for surgery. This includes:
- Medical History Review: Understanding your health background is essential.
- Diagnostic Imaging: X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs are often utilized to assess lung health.
- Laboratory Tests: Blood work and other tests help us gauge your overall health and readiness for surgery.
Post-Operative Care and Recovery
Recovery from lung surgery can be a journey, and our team is dedicated to supporting you every step of the way. Post-operative care includes:
- Pain Management: Effective strategies to manage pain and discomfort.
- Physical Therapy: Tailored rehabilitation exercises to improve strength and lung function.
- Follow-Up Appointments: Regular check-ins to monitor recovery progress.

The field of lung surgery is rapidly evolving. Our lung surgery center is at the forefront of adopting new techniques and technologies to improve patient outcomes. Innovations include:
