FAQ
What is a lung lobectomy?
A lung lobectomy is an operation to remove a lobe of an organ when it is damaged.
In most cases, surgeons perform the procedure for lung cancer.
The difference between lobectomy at home and abroad
Surgeons from foreign medical centers perform lobectomy using the video-assisted thoracoscopic VATS method. They perform manipulations through 2-5 incisions of 2.5 cm each. Recovery after such a procedure is faster than after traditional open surgery.
Features of lung lobe removal in different countries
Bookimed has identified the 3 most popular countries for lobectomy among residents of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
In medical centers in Germany, the accuracy of diagnosis is 100%. Thanks to this, German specialists correctly determine the scope of intervention.
In Israel, patients are operated on by experienced and qualified surgeons. They study and train in leading European and American clinics. Thanks to this, Israeli surgeons are improving the methods of performing lobectomy.
The main advantage of a lobectomy in Turkey is its cost. The price for the procedure here is lower than in Israel and Germany.
88% of operations in Turkey pass without complications.

Disadvantages: the operation leaves a large scar. Recovery takes up to 2 weeks.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy (VATS)
