- Lobectomy
- Complete anatomic single lung lobe resection
- Lobar bronchus, pulmonary artery and vein resection
- Typically includes regional lymph node resection
- Complete anatomic single lung lobe resection
- Sleeve lobectomy
- Lobe resection, common airways, and re-anastomosis of airways
- End-to-end airway anastomosis, usually right upper lobectomy
- Alternative to pneumonectomy for central tumors
- Lobe resection, common airways, and re-anastomosis of airways
