Final answer:
A Lobectomy is the surgical procedure that removes one lobe of the lung, typically used to treat localized lung diseases such as cancer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The type of surgery that involves the removal of one lobe of the lung is known as a Lobectomy. The human lungs are divided into lobes; the right with three lobes (superior, middle, and inferior), and the left with two lobes (superior and inferior). During a lobectomy, the diseased lobe is surgically removed, which can be a treatment for lung diseases such as cancer that are localized within a single lobe. Other surgical procedures such as Pneumonectomy involves the removal of an entire lung, a Wedge resection removes a piece of the lung shaped like a wedge, and a Segmental resection removes part of a lobe.
