Anatomical repositioning and expansion of the ipsilateral preserved lung after lung resection may influence postoperative pulmonary function. To study the postoperative changes in pulmonary function of the preserved lung after lobectomy compared with that after segmentectomy, the preoperative and postoperative forced expiratory volume in 1s (FEV(1)) of the ipsilateral non-operated lobe was measured using perfusion single-photon-emission computed tomography and computed tomography (SPECT/CT).
