Multiple reviews of pulmonary surgical techniques have been published for surgeons, but very few recent articles in the radiologic literature are dedicated to explain the basic surgical techniques used in the treatment of lung cancer to radiologists. After viewing this exhibit, the learner will: 1 Learn the most frequent surgical techniques used in the treatment of lung cancer according to the stage of disease 2 Understand the importance of time in the interpretation of post surgical images and how it influences the radiographic appearance of the surgical bed 3 Recognize normal and abnormal findings after surgery on a timeline review 4 Recognize the most common post surgical complications, according to time elapsed after surgery

1. Most common surgical techniques used in the treatment of lung cancer (wedge resection, segmentectomy, sleeve lobectomy, lobectomy, pneumonectomy) 1'. Anatomic illustration and imaging correlation of these techniques 2. Timeline review of imaging findings: what to expect over time 3. Sample cases: expected and unexpected findings. Main complications.
