Procedure for Pneumothorax

Pneumothorax is a medical condition characterized by the presence of air or gas in the pleural space, which can lead to lung collapse. It is a critical condition that requires immediate medical attention and appropriate treatment. Neumark Surgery, a reputable and highly specialized medical center, offers advanced procedures to manage and treat pneumothorax effectively.

Surgical Options for Pneumothorax

When it comes to treating pneumothorax, there are several surgical options available, including chest tube placement, thoracentesis, and VATS (video-assisted thoracic surgery). At Neumark Surgery, our team of skilled doctors and plastic surgeons is trained in performing these procedures with precision and expertise.

Chest Tube Placement

Chest tube placement is a common procedure used to treat pneumothorax. It involves the insertion of a hollow tube into the chest cavity to drain the air or gas, allowing the lung to re-expand. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and the tube is left in place until the lung has fully re-inflated.

At Neumark Surgery, our experienced doctors and medical staff ensure that chest tube placement is done with utmost care and precision. We use advanced imaging techniques to guide the placement of the tube accurately, minimizing any potential complications.

Thoracentesis

Another procedure commonly employed to treat pneumothorax is thoracentesis. During thoracentesis, a needle or a small tube is inserted into the pleural space to drain the excess air or fluid. This procedure is particularly effective for smaller pneumothorax cases or when there is a buildup of excessive fluid, known as a pleural effusion, in the pleural space.

Neumark Surgery's team of highly skilled doctors specializes in performing thoracentesis using state-of-the-art techniques and equipment. Our aim is to provide safe and effective treatment, ensuring optimal outcomes for our patients.

Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS)

VATS, or video-assisted thoracic surgery, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat pneumothorax in certain cases. It involves making small incisions and using a video camera and specialized instruments to repair the underlying cause of pneumothorax, such as a bleb or bulla. VATS offers several advantages, including reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery.

At Neumark Surgery, our team of expert plastic surgeons is highly experienced in performing VATS procedures. We utilize advanced technology and techniques to ensure precise and effective treatment for pneumothorax.
