Excision and resection in lung and bronchus: Extended lobectomy and bilobectomy of lung: Bilobectomy without bronchoplasty or angioplasty extension: With vascular resection intrapericardial
You have had an operation to remove two of your pulmonary lobes.
There is a lung on either side. Each lung is made up of individual pulmonary lobes. The right lung has three pulmonary lobes, the left lung has two pulmonary lobes.
You also had tissue at the large blood vessels in your pericardium removed.
The pericardium is a layer of connective tissue surrounding the heart. There is some fluid in the pericardium (heart sac). So the heart is able to move inside this lining.
