Fixing a Collapsed Lung - A Comprehensive Guide

Dec 26, 2023

The Importance of Immediate Treatment for a Collapsed Lung

A collapsed lung, also known as pneumothorax, is a serious medical condition that requires prompt medical attention. When the lung collapses, air leaks into the space between the lung and the chest wall, causing pressure on the lung and affecting its ability to expand fully. Immediate medical intervention is necessary to relieve the pressure, restore lung function, and prevent further complications.

Pulmonologists - The Breath of Expertise

They use state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques, such as chest X-rays and CT scans, to accurately identify the cause and extent of the collapse. With their deep understanding of the respiratory system, they can provide tailored treatment plans to each patient.

Thoracic Surgeons - Precision and Skill

When it comes to surgical interventions for a collapsed lung, our skilled thoracic surgeons are at the forefront of innovation. They perform minimally invasive procedures, such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robotic-assisted surgery, to repair the lung and remove any air or fluid buildup.

Not all collapsed lungs require surgical intervention. Our doctors explore non-surgical treatment options, such as chest tube insertion or needle aspiration, to remove the excess air or fluid and allow the lung to re-expand naturally. These procedures are performed under expert guidance, ensuring minimal discomfort and optimal results for our patients.

Surgical Procedures

In cases where surgical intervention is necessary, our skilled thoracic surgeons employ advanced techniques to repair the collapsed lung. Depending on the severity and underlying cause, they may perform procedures like pleurodesis, lung resection, or bullectomy.
