Surgical Treatment for Pneumothorax

At Neumark Surgery, we specialize in providing high-quality surgical treatments for various thoracic conditions including pneumothorax. Our team of experienced doctors and highly skilled plastic surgeons is dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care and optimal outcomes.

Understanding Pneumothorax

Pneumothorax, also known as collapsed lung, occurs when air accumulates in the space between the lungs and chest wall, leading to lung collapse. This condition can be caused by trauma, underlying lung diseases, or even occur spontaneously. It can result in symptoms such as sudden chest pain, difficulty breathing, and reduced oxygen levels.

The Role of Surgical Treatment

When pneumothorax is severe or recurrent, surgical intervention may be necessary to prevent future occurrences and to restore lung function. At Neumark Surgery, we offer advanced surgical techniques to treat pneumothorax, ensuring long-term relief and improved quality of life for our patients.

VATS is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves making a few small incisions in the chest wall. A tiny camera, called a thoracoscope, is inserted through one of the incisions to provide a clear view of the lung. Specialized instruments are then used to treat the collapsed lung, either by removing trapped air or sealing the leak causing the pneumothorax. VATS offers shorter recovery time, reduced scarring, and minimal post-operative pain.

In cases where VATS is not feasible or appropriate, a thoracotomy may be performed. This procedure involves making a larger incision in the chest to access the collapsed lung directly. The surgeon can then repair any air leaks, remove damaged lung tissue, or apply specific procedures depending on the underlying cause of pneumothorax. While thoracotomy is a more invasive approach, it can effectively treat complex cases of pneumothorax.
