Understanding Pneumothorax

Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a medical condition characterized by the presence of air or gas in the pleural cavity surrounding the lungs. This condition can cause various symptoms, including shortness of breath, chest pain, and rapid breathing.

At Neumark Surgery, we understand the importance of early diagnosis and effective treatment for pneumothorax. Our knowledgeable doctors specialize in identifying the underlying causes and severity of the condition to develop personalized treatment plans.

We have dedicated pneumothorax treatment units staffed by experienced medical professionals who prioritize patient comfort and well-being.

At Neumark Surgery, we believe in a multidisciplinary approach to pneumothorax treatment. Our medical centers offer a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic services, including:

• Diagnostic imaging such as X-rays and CT scans
• Lung function tests to assess respiratory function
• Minimally invasive procedures like thoracentesis and pleurodesis
• Pneumothorax surgery, including video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and thoracotomy

Expert Plastic Surgeons

For patients requiring surgical intervention, our team of skilled plastic surgeons specializes in performing pneumothorax treatment surgeries with precision and care. These surgeries aim to repair the damaged lung tissue and restore normal lung function.

Our plastic surgeons are well-versed in the latest surgical techniques and stay updated with advancements in the field. They work closely with our doctors to develop tailored treatment plans that meet each patient's unique needs and goals.

Pneumothorax Treatment Surgery Options

When it comes to pneumothorax treatment, we offer a range of surgical options. The choice of procedure depends on factors such as the underlying cause, severity of the pneumothorax, and individual patient characteristics.

1. Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS)

VATS is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that utilizes small incisions and a tiny camera to access and visualize the pleural cavity. This technique allows our surgeons to repair lung damage and remove excess air with precision, resulting in minimal scarring and faster recovery times for patients.

2. Thoracotomy

Thoracotomy is a traditional open surgery that involves creating a larger incision to access the chest cavity. It is typically reserved for more severe cases of pneumothorax or when additional surgical interventions are required. Although it may result in a longer recovery time, thoracotomy allows for thorough examination and repair of lung tissue.

3. Pleurodesis

Pleurodesis is a procedure performed to prevent recurrent pneumothorax. It involves adhesion of the pleural layers to prevent the accumulation of air or fluid in the pleural cavity. This can be achieved through the use of chemicals, such as talc or bleomycin, or mechanical abrasion. Pleurodesis is often combined with other surgical interventions to enhance treatment outcomes.

Patient-Centered Approach

At Neumark Surgery, we prioritize patient safety, comfort, and satisfaction. Our team understands the anxiety and uncertainty that can accompany a pneumothorax diagnosis, and we strive to provide compassionate care and support throughout the treatment journey.

We believe in fostering open communication with our patients, ensuring they are well-informed about their condition, treatment options, and expected outcomes. Our dedicated healthcare professionals take the time to address any concerns and answer questions, empowering patients to make informed decisions about their care.
