Description
Andrei I Gritsiuta and Roman V Petrov survey in 2026 the complications that follow lung removal surgery and how teams can limit their harm. Operations such as lobectomy and pneumonectomy remain central cures for early lung cancer, yet patients are often older smokers with heart and lung disease. About a quarter of patients in large registries face at least one complication.
Risk rises with the amount of lung removed, and whole-lung removal carries far higher death rates than lobe removal. Longer hospital stays add cost and strain for patients and systems alike. The authors argue that modern practice must anticipate problems, sort patients by risk, prevent what can be prevented, and rescue patients quickly when decline begins.
