The effects of right lung upper lobe resection on the body include wound pain and decreased lung function, etc. However, if right lung upper lobe resection is needed after weighing by the doctor, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to avoid delaying the condition.
According to normal lung anatomy, the right lung has three lobes, accounting for about 55% of the lung’s respiratory function. After the upper lobe of the right lung is removed, the other lobes of the lung will compensate for the expansion, supplementing the function of the lung at the removal site, and will not affect normal lung function. However, in patients with underlying lung disease, shortness of breath and other discomforts may occur after right upper lobectomy, and pulmonary rehabilitation exercises need to be performed as prescribed by the doctor.
In addition, there is a recovery period after right upper lobectomy, during which there may be risks of wound pain, swelling and infection.
However, if the doctor’s comprehensive condition, due to recurrent infections, inflammation, tumors and other conditions treatment needs, to develop a right upper lobectomy treatment plan, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to actively treat to avoid aggravation of the condition.
