Apulmonary lobectomy is the surgical removal of a cancerous or diseased segment of the lung, rather than the entire organ

The procedure is done when only a portion of the lung is unhealthy.When diseased tissue is isolated to just one portion of the lung, it means that it is either pre-cancerous or in the early stages of cancer

Removing the cancerous, diseased, infected or suspicious portion of a lung prevents whatever is ailing it from spreading to the rest of the organ - or beyond

Surgeons make an incision, usually starting near the nipple and continuing around to the back, ending under the shoulder blade

They can then get to the lung between the ribs.Sometimes, a guided camera is used instead, to make the surgery less invasive

HOW THE LUNGS KEEP WORKING AFTER A PORTION HAS BEEN REMOVED Each pair of lungs has a total of five lobes - three in the right and two in the left lung

The lungs have multiple lobes as a sort of fail-safe system so that if one lobe is damaged, the rest can keep on breathing

In modern medicine, this allows the organs to keep working after a portion is removed to stop disease spread

When one section, or lobe is removed effectively and without complications, the rest of the organ can continue functioning normally

Just one of the five lobes of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's lungs was removed (or resected) during

Surgeons cut out the lower of the two lobes of the Justice's left lung.When the investigated the removed tissues they found two 'nodules' - suspicious lumps of tissue that didn't match the rest of the organ

Sometimes these are harmless, or benign.Other times nodules are cancerous, or malignant

Pathologists have to test the tissue after it's removed to find out.The two nodules in Justice Ginsburg's lung were malignant, or cancerous

But upon inspection of the rest of her lungs, there were no signs of any other nodules or cancers - good news, meaning that they caught the disease very early

THE RISKS (AND BENEFITS) OF A LUNG LOBECTOMY Lung lobectomies are invasive surgeries, and the risks and rate of complications vary

Women tend to fare better than men.The possible complications are considerable.They include: After surgery, most are dependent on a ventilator for a few day, though some struggle to breath unassisted for longer

Most of the complications tend to resolve themselves.But some, like chest pain may linger

About half of patients who undergo lobectomies report lasting aches.The upside is that between 85 and 95 percent of people who have lobectomies to prevent the spread of cancer survive for at least the following five years

Who Is Ted Bundy's Victim Kathy Kleiner? | Heavy.com - Duration: 5:27.

Who Is Ted Bundy's Victim Kathy Kleiner? | Heavy.com

Tonight, ABC News' 20/20 will investigate the life and mind of notorious serial killer Ted Bundy.

The piece will include interviews with many former prosecutors and attorneys on the case, as well as victims who narrowly escaped his wrath.

One of those victims, Kathy Kleiner, will be interviewed on tonight's broadcast.

What's her story? How did she escape death at the hands of Ted Bundy?.

Here's what you need to know.

In 1978, Kleiner was asleep in her sorority house at FSU in Tallahassee.

She was a sophomore and lived with a girl named Karen Chandler.

Around 3 am early Sunday morning, the bedroom door opened and in came none other than Ted Bundy.

At the time, Bundy was running from the law.

In the words of Rolling Stone, he was "ravenous" for another kill.

By the time he entered Kleiner's bedroom, Bundy had already taken the lives of two women: Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy.

Speaking about the moment he entered their room, Kleiner tells Rolling Stone, "I remember the noise of the trip and something falling off the trunk, and that woke me up… The room was dark, and I didn't have my glasses on, but I remember seeing a black mass.

I couldn't even see that it was a person.

I saw the club, saw him lift it over his head, and slam it on me.".

She continues, "The first time, it didn't hurt.

It was pressure, like someone pressing on your arm.

And then he hit me again.

And I think that's where he hit me in the face and broke my jaw in three places and I passed out.

But that's what I remember the most: him lifting the club and bringing it down on me." After that, taillights from a boy's car (he was dropping off a girl at the house) flooded into Kleiner's room, and Bundy fled the scene.

When paramedics finally found Kleiner, they told her she was shot in the face.

She was forced to stay a week in the hospital with her jaw wired shut.

Her recovery took months.

According to Cosmo, Kathy eventually got married and faced Ted Bundy in trial.

She tells Rolling Stone of the experience, "He was just staring me down… I wasn't scared, I wasn't angry, so much as a…throwing-up feeling.

It was so bad. It was disgust.".

Today, Kathy is remarried and lives in New Orleans.

And what does she think of Zac Efron playing Bundy in the new film "Extremely Wicked, Shocking Evil, and Vile?" She's okay with it.

After all, she admits, Bundy was "charming and handsome on the outside, and a monster on the inside," writes TMZ.

Be sure to tune into tonight's episode of 20/20 to watch Kathy Kleiner's interview about Ted Bundy, on ABC at 9pm ET/PT.

Tonight will be a special on Headline News at 8pm E.
