    1) A lobectomy involves the surgical removal of a lobe of the lung through a thoracotomy incision, where the unaffected lung is made dependent to fill the space. 2) After a pneumonectomy, positive pressure therapies like PEP and CPAP can be used safely, with a drain placed in the apical region of the affected side. 3) Cardiac surgery indications include valvular defects, congenital abnormalities, but not electrophysiological abnormalities.
