What is another word for lobectomy?
Pronunciation: [ləbˈɛktəmˌɪ] (IPA) 
Lobectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a lobe of an organ, usually the lung or liver. Some synonyms for lobectomy include surgical resection, pulmonary resection, lobotomy, or segmentectomy. These terms refer to the surgical removal of a part of an organ or tissue, which may be necessary due to a variety of medical conditions. Lobectomy is often performed to treat lung cancer, which may be confined to a single lobe of the lung.

While lobectomy is a serious surgical procedure, advances in technology and techniques have led to improved outcomes for patients who require this treatment.
