Removal of one lobe of the right lung will generally not affect life expectancy if the remaining lung tissue functions normally.
The human lung is divided into left and right parts, the left lung is divided into two lobes, while the right lung is divided into three lobes. If it is necessary to remove one lobe of the right lung due to special circumstances, such as trauma, lung tumors, pulmonary tuberculosis, etc., as long as the function of the remaining lung tissues is completely normal, it can be physiologically compensated for, and will not have a significant impact on the lung function, so that the patient can live a normal life, and it will not have any impact on the life span in general.
However, if one lobe of the right lung is removed, the function of the remaining lung tissue is not completely normal, which will have an impact on the normal ventilation of the lungs, and may easily lead to respiratory distress and hypoxia, thus affecting life expectancy.
After the removal of one lobe of the right lung, you must pay attention to regular checkups in the hospital, and usually pay attention to more rest and avoid overwork.
