serves to extract all infected lung tissue while preserving complete lung functionality.<\/p>\n<p>The procedure serves as treatment for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Early-stage lung cancer<\/strong> <\/span>\u2013 This cancer affects only a limited lung region which has not extended beyond that area.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color:

surgical procedure consists of the following steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The medical team gives general anesthesia to make the patient completely unconscious.<\/li>\n<li>The surgical team creates 2 to 4 small incisions which they make on the patient&#8217;s chest area.<\/li>\n<li>The team inserts a small camera through one of the incisions.<\/li>\n<li>The medical team uses special instruments to extract the infected lung lobe from the patient.<\/li>\n<li>The medical team executes the procedure to secure the blood vessels and airways.<\/li>\n<li>The medical team places a chest tube to extract both air and fluid from the patient&#8217;s body.<\/li>\n<li>The surgical team performs wound closure through stitch application.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The surgical operation typically lasts between 2 to
