Understanding Recurrent Pneumothorax
Recurrent pneumothorax refers to the recurrence of a collapsed lung caused by the accumulation of air in the chest cavity. This condition can be painful and potentially life-threatening if left untreated. At Neumark Surgery, we understand the significant impact it can have on the quality of your life, which is why we offer effective treatment options.
Treatment Options
When it comes to recurrent pneumothorax treatment, Neumark Surgery combines advanced surgical techniques with personalized care to deliver optimal outcomes for our patients. Our dedicated team of medical professionals will assess your condition and recommend the most suitable treatment approach.
1. Thoracoscopic Surgery
Thoracoscopic surgery, also known as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat recurrent pneumothorax. During this procedure, small incisions are made, and a thin, flexible tube with a camera is inserted into the chest cavity to guide the surgeon. This technique allows for a faster recovery and reduced postoperative pain compared to traditional open surgery.
2. Pleurodesis
Pleurodesis is another effective treatment option for recurrent pneumothorax. This procedure involves the creation of adhesions between the lung and the chest wall, preventing further accumulation of air. A pleural irritant, such as talc or chemicals, is introduced into the pleural space to induce inflammation and adhesion formation. Pleurodesis can be performed via thoracoscopy or chest tube insertion.
3. Chemical Pleurodesis
Chemical pleurodesis is a variation of pleurodesis where a chemical agent, such as talc slurry or doxycycline, is used to irritate the pleural space and promote adhesion. This technique is often considered for patients who are not suitable candidates for surgery or those who prefer a non-surgical approach. The procedure is generally safe and well-tolerated, with a high success rate in preventing recurrent pneumothorax.
4. Surgical Pleurodesis
In cases where recurrent pneumothorax persists despite conservative measures, surgical pleurodesis may be recommended. This procedure involves the removal of the visceral pleura, the thin lining covering the lung, which is then stripped off to promote lung adherence to the chest wall. Surgical pleurodesis offers long-term solution and is performed under general anesthesia.
