Understanding Recurrent Pneumothorax

Recurrent pneumothorax is a condition characterized by the accumulation of air or gas in the pleural cavity, leading to a collapsed lung. It can cause significant pain, difficulty in breathing, and recurrent episodes can greatly impact daily life. At Neumark Surgery, we understand the distress caused by this condition and offer effective treatment options to alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence.

Treatment Options

Our team of specialized doctors and plastic surgeons at Neumark Surgery employs the latest advancements in medical technology and treatment techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. The following are some of the treatment options available:

1. Thoracentesis

Thoracentesis is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the insertion of a needle or small tube into the pleural space to remove excess air or fluid. This procedure can provide immediate relief and is often used to diagnose the cause of pneumothorax.

2. Chemical Pleurodesis

Chemical pleurodesis is a technique used to prevent recurrent pneumothorax. During this procedure, a chemical irritant is introduced into the pleural space, causing inflammation and adhesion of the lung to the chest wall. This prevents the accumulation of air, reducing the likelihood of recurrence.

3. Thoracotomy

Thoracotomy is a surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia. It involves making an incision in the chest wall to access the pleural cavity. Our skilled surgeons at Neumark Surgery have extensive experience in performing thoracotomy to treat recurrent pneumothorax. This procedure allows for direct inspection, repair of damaged areas, and removal of blebs or bullae that may be causing the recurrent episodes.

4. Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)

VATS is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes a small video camera and specialized surgical instruments to access and treat the pleural cavity. This technique offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including reduced scarring, shorter recovery time, and decreased postoperative pain. Our plastic surgeons are proficient in utilizing VATS to effectively treat recurrent pneumothorax.
