The lungs are divided into distinct lobes by fissures, allowing them to accommodate the movements of the thoracic wall and diaphragm. This chapter covers anatomy and physiology, diagnostic approach, postoperative considerations, lung trauma, pulmonary abscess, pneumonia and bronchiectasis, lung lobe torsion, spontaneous pneumothorax and lung neoplasia. Operative Technique: Partial or complete lung lobectomy.

(a) Radiograph showing severe subcutaneous emphysema and multiple rib fractures in a 2-year-old Miniature Poodle that had sustained thoracic bite wounds. (b) At surgery, severe damage to ribs and thoracic wall musculature can be appreciated. The dog also sustained a traumatic impalement of a lung lobe caused by the sharp ends of one of the fractured ribs. © 2018 British Small Animal Veterinary Association
