The Ultimate Guide to Recurrent Pneumothorax Treatment

Recurrent pneumothorax is a condition wherein air accumulates in the pleural space, the area between the lung and the chest wall, causing partial or complete lung collapse. This can be a distressing and potentially life-threatening condition if left untreated. At NeumarkSurgery, our team of experienced doctors, medical centers, and plastic surgeons offer cutting-edge treatments for recurrent pneumothorax to help patients regain their health and well-being.

Understanding Recurrent Pneumothorax

Recurrent pneumothorax can be a challenging condition to manage, as it often requires specialized care and expertise. Common causes of recurrent pneumothorax include underlying lung diseases, trauma to the chest area, or certain medical procedures. Symptoms of recurrent pneumothorax may include sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing.

Treatment Options at NeumarkSurgery

At NeumarkSurgery, our dedicated team of doctors and medical centers are well-equipped to provide comprehensive treatment options for recurrent pneumothorax. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures that each patient receives personalized care and tailored treatment plans to address their specific needs.

1. Thoracostomy

Thoracostomy, also known as chest tube insertion, is a common procedure used to drain excess air from the pleural space and re-expand the lung. This can help alleviate symptoms and prevent further lung collapse in patients with recurrent pneumothorax.

2. Pleurodesis

Pleurodesis is a procedure that involves creating adhesions between the layers of the pleura to prevent the recurrence of pneumothorax. This can be achieved through chemical or mechanical means to promote lung adherence and reduce the risk of future collapses.

3. Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)

VATS is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows doctors to visualize and treat the pleural space using a small camera and specialized instruments. This approach can be effective in treating recurrent pneumothorax while minimizing surgical risks and recovery time.
