abstract = {Lobectomy remains the definitive resection because assures removal of the regional lymph nodes and thus provides the best information for staging and local control. Doing less than a lobectomy must be considered a compromise because a wedge excision does not include the lobar bronchus, impeding evaluation of lobar lymph nodes, but also usually it provides only a minimal parenchymal margin and, thus, is accompanied by a significant incidence of local recurrence. Before the operation, at a minimum, patients should have a recent chest CT scan and a Positron Emission Tomography scan. Preoperative spirometry should be performed including forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), diffusive capacity, FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio, and the ratio of the residual volume (RV) to total lung capacity (TLC). FEV1 },
