Understanding Pneumothorax

Pneumothorax, commonly known as a collapsed lung, occurs when air leaks into the space between the lungs and the chest wall. This condition can cause discomfort, breathing difficulties, and potentially life-threatening situations. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for pneumothorax is crucial.

Causes of Pneumothorax

Pneumothorax can occur spontaneously without any apparent reason, known as primary spontaneous pneumothorax. It may also result from injury to the chest, certain lung diseases, or medical procedures, known as secondary spontaneous pneumothorax.

Symptoms of Pneumothorax

Common symptoms of pneumothorax include sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, rapid breathing, rapid heart rate, and decreased lung function. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek immediate medical attention.

The Importance of Pneumothorax Surgery

For individuals diagnosed with pneumothorax, surgery may be necessary to remove trapped air or prevent future recurrences. Neumark Surgery specializes in various surgical techniques to effectively treat pneumothorax and provide relief to patients.

Advanced Surgical Procedures at Neumark Surgery

Our team of expert doctors and plastic surgeons is highly experienced in performing pneumothorax surgery using state-of-the-art techniques and equipment. Some of the advanced surgical procedures we offer include:

VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery)

VATS is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows our surgeons to visualize and treat the collapsed lung using small incisions and a tiny camera. This technique reduces post-operative pain, scarring, and promotes quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgeries.

Pleurodesis

Pleurodesis is a surgical procedure performed to prevent recurrent pneumothorax. It involves the introduction of a non-toxic substance into the pleural space, causing irritation and subsequent adhesion of the lung to the chest wall. This prevents further air leakage and recurrence of pneumothorax.

Lung Reinflation Techniques

In cases of severe pneumothorax, lung reinflation techniques such as needle aspiration or chest tube insertion may be required. These procedures aim to remove air from the pleural space and re-expand the collapsed lung.
