Lung surgery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lung surgery is a type of thoracic surgery involving the repair or removal of lung tissue,[1] and can be used to treat a variety of conditions ranging from lung cancer to pulmonary hypertension. Common operations include anatomic and nonanatomic resections, pleurodesis and lung transplants. Though records of lung surgery date back to the Classical Age, new techniques such as VATS continue to be developed.
