A lobectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a lobe from an organ, most commonly the lungs or the brain. In the case of lung lobectomy, it is often performed to treat conditions such as lung cancer or severe infections. The surgery can help improve breathing and overall lung function by removing damaged or diseased tissue. In brain surgery, a lobectomy may be done to treat epilepsy or tumors. By removing a portion of the brain, doctors aim to reduce seizures or eliminate cancerous growths. Recovery from a lobectomy varies depending on the individual and the organ involved, but rehabilitation may be necessary to regain full function.
