Understanding Recurrent Pneumothorax

Recurrent pneumothorax is a medical condition characterized by the presence of air or gas in the pleural space, resulting in the collapse of the lung. This condition can cause sudden, sharp chest pain, difficulty in breathing, and a feeling of tightness in the chest. It often requires immediate medical attention as untreated pneumothorax can lead to more serious complications. Neumark Surgery specializes in diagnosing and treating recurrent pneumothorax, ensuring that our patients receive the most appropriate and effective treatment options.

Comprehensive Treatment Options

At Neumark Surgery, we offer a wide range of treatment options to address recurrent pneumothorax. Our skilled doctors and plastic surgeons work collaboratively to develop personalized treatment plans based on each patient's individual needs and medical history. We believe in a multidisciplinary approach that integrates the latest medical advancements and surgical techniques, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.

1. Non-Surgical Treatments

For certain cases of recurrent pneumothorax, non-surgical treatments may be recommended. These treatments aim to manage the condition without invasive procedures. They can include:

  • Observation and Monitoring: In some cases, small pneumothoraces may heal on their own with careful observation and monitoring. Our dedicated medical team will closely monitor your condition to ensure that it doesn't worsen.
  • Chest Tube Insertion: A chest tube can be inserted to remove the accumulated air or gas from the pleural space. This procedure can help the lung reinflate and relieve symptoms. Neumark Surgery's specialists are experienced in performing chest tube insertions with precision and care.
  • Pleurodesis: Pleurodesis is a procedure where a substance (such as talc) is introduced into the pleural space to cause inflammation, leading to the formation of adhesions. These adhesions help prevent recurrent pneumothorax. Our skilled medical team can perform pleurodesis using minimally invasive techniques.
2. Surgical Treatments

In cases where non-surgical treatments are not effective or recurrent pneumothorax persists, surgical interventions may be required.

i. Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)

VATS is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows our skilled surgeons to repair and treat the underlying causes of recurrent pneumothorax. Through small incisions, a tiny camera and specialized surgical instruments are used to visualize and access the affected area. This technique offers several advantages, including reduced scarring and a faster recovery time.

ii. Thoracotomy

Thoracotomy is a more traditional surgical approach used when VATS is not suitable for the patient's specific case. This procedure involves creating a larger incision on the chest wall to access and repair the lung. Our experienced surgeons will carefully evaluate your condition to determine the most appropriate surgical technique for your recurrent pneumothorax treatment.
