Introduction

Welcome to Neumark Surgery, a trusted name when it comes to finding the best expertise in dealing with recurrent pneumothorax. Our team of highly-qualified Doctors, Medical Centers, and Plastic Surgeons work together to provide advanced treatments that can effectively manage and treat this condition.

Understanding Recurrent Pneumothorax

Recurrent pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition where air accumulates in the pleural space between the lung and the chest wall. This causes pressure on the lung, leading to its partial or complete collapse. It can occur spontaneously or as a complication of an underlying lung disease or injury.

Causes and Symptoms

Recurrent pneumothorax can have various causes such as underlying lung diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), tuberculosis, or a history of previous pneumothorax. Symptoms may include sudden sharp chest pain, difficulty breathing, rapid heart rate, and decreased oxygen levels. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's crucial to seek immediate medical attention.

Treatment Options

At Neumark Surgery, our skilled team specializes in providing effective treatment options tailored to each patient's unique needs. Here are some advanced treatment methods we employ:

1. Thoracoscopy

Thoracoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to assess the condition of the pleural space and repair or remove damaged lung tissue. This technique allows for precise diagnosis and treatment, resulting in faster recovery times and reduced risk of complications.

Benefits of Thoracoscopy:

  • Accurate visualization of the affected area
  • Minimal scarring and pain
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Faster return to daily activities

2. Pleurodesis

Pleurodesis is a procedure that helps prevent recurrent pneumothorax by creating adhesions between the lung and the chest wall. This is achieved by introducing a chemical or talcum powder into the pleural space, stimulating inflammation and causing the pleural layers to stick together. Pleurodesis significantly reduces the chances of recurrence.

Advantages of Pleurodesis:

  • High success rate in preventing pneumothorax recurrence
  • Minimally invasive with shorter recovery time
  • Can be performed as an outpatient procedure

3. Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS)

VATS is a minimally invasive surgical technique that utilizes small incisions and a tiny camera to access the thoracic cavity. This procedure aids in diagnosing and treating recurrent pneumothorax by providing a clear view of the affected area. VATS offers several benefits, including reduced post-operative pain, shorter hospitalization, and quicker return to normal activities.

Benefits of VATS:

  • Less invasive with smaller surgical incisions
  • Enhanced visualization, allowing for precise surgical interventions
  • Reduced post-operative pain and discomfort
  • Lower risk of complications
