Pneumonectomy is most often indicated as a curative treatment for lung cancer, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, infectious lung diseases or congenital anomalies.However, depending on the series, it remains a cumbersome surgical procedure, associated with a risk of frequent and serious complications, sometimes with permanent sequelae.
