What are the complications of lobectomy?

Lobectomy, as the name suggests, is a pulmonary resection. The lungs are divided into left and right lungs. The left lung has upper and lower lobes, while the right lung has upper, middle and lower lobes. The number of lungs removed will affect respiratory function. If the lobectomy area is small, the respiratory function will not be affected. After rehabilitation, the patient can recover to the state before surgery through respiratory exercise. If more lung tissue is removed, lung function will be weakened, showing symptoms of shortness of breath and asthma after activity, as well as hypoxia such as dizziness, headache, memory loss, and accompanied by cough and expectoration. In addition, because lung function damage can also indirectly cause heart function reduction, postoperative wound pain is also a major factor that puzzles patients, most people rarely know that pneumonectomy surgery is in the patient's back incision to the lungs, the incision site often feels pain after surgery, and the probability of showing pain will be very high;
