A split lung, also known as a pulmonary lobe separation, is a medical condition where a lobe of the lung becomes isolated or detached due to various causes, such as severe injury, disease, or surgical intervention. This condition can lead to impaired lung function and respiratory issues, as the affected lobe may not participate effectively in gas exchange. Treatment often involves addressing the underlying cause and may require surgical procedures in severe cases.
Each lung has more than one "lobe" or section. The right lung has three, and the left lung has only two to leave room for the heart where the upper left lobe would be.
