What Is Lung Removal Surgery

Pneumonectomy is a major surgical procedure in which one entire lung is removed, usually to treat lung cancer or severe infections. The surgery requires opening the chest cavity, making it a high-risk procedure that demands absolute sterility and precision. Every part of the operating environment, from the instruments to the drapes, must remain completely clean to ensure patient safety and prevent infection.

Sterile Protection in Pneumonectomy Procedures 

• In pneumonectomy, the surgeon must access deep thoracic structures where contamination can cause severe complications. Nivda Drapes are specially designed to provide full coverage of the patient’s body, leaving only the surgical site open. Their strong fluid-repellent barrier prevents blood and secretions from spreading, maintaining a controlled and clean surgical field throughout the operation.
• Nivda Surgical Gowns and Gloves protect the surgical team from contamination while ensuring comfort and flexibility during the long procedure. Disposable Face Masks, Head Caps, and Shoe Covers maintain air and surface hygiene, while Wrapping Sheets and Back Table Covers keep all surgical instruments sterile and organized. By using Nivda Drapes and hospital disposables, healthcare teams minimize infection risk, reduce cross-contamination, and improve procedural efficiency during this complex thoracic surgery.
