Abstract

The most common indication for lung lobectomy is the removal of a solitary lung lobe mass. Except for spontaneous pneumothorax or migrating foreign bodies, most lung lobectomies are performed through a lateral approach. Animals undergoing thoracotomy will require manual or mechanical ventilation once negative pressure is lost within the pleural space. Occlusion of vessels and bronchus of the lung can be performed with a stapler or ligation.
