Synonyms or meaning of Lingulectomy

A lingulectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the lingula of the left lung. The lingula is a smaller, tongue-shaped lobe located at the top of the left upper lobe.

This surgery is typically performed to treat small-sized lung cancers or benign tumors located in the lingula. It’s considered a lung-sparing surgery, meaning it preserves a significant portion of the healthy lung tissue.
