There are several kinds of lung problems that can happen with a
lobectomy. Some of these include:
- Pneumonia
- Blood or fluid in or outside the lung
- Bleeding
- Lung failure.
Patients who already have lung disease have a greater chance of experiencing lung problems after lobectomy. The treatment for a lung problem will depend on how it happened and how severe it is. If there is a problem, your healthcare professional will talk with you about what the best treatment is for your situation.
