Understanding Recurrent Pneumothorax

Recurrent pneumothorax, also known as collapsed lung, is a condition where air leaks into the cavity between the lungs and the chest wall, causing the lung to collapse. This can result in breathlessness, chest pain, and discomfort. It is crucial to seek prompt medical attention and treatment to prevent further complications.

Treatment Options

At Neumark Surgery, we offer a range of advanced treatment options to effectively manage and treat recurrent pneumothorax. Our experienced doctors and plastic surgeons work together to tailor the treatment plan according to each patient's unique needs and medical history.

1. Observation and Monitoring

In some cases, small pneumothoraces may resolve on their own without intervention. Our doctors carefully monitor the condition with regular check-ups and imaging tests to ensure a prompt response if any changes occur.

2. Non-surgical Interventions

For recurrent pneumothorax, non-surgical interventions are often considered as the first line of treatment. These methods can help prevent air leaks and reoccurrences without the need for surgery. They include:

  • Needle Aspiration: This involves removing the excess air from the chest cavity using a needle inserted through the chest wall, providing relief and allowing the lung to reinflate.
  • Chest Tube Insertion: A flexible tube is inserted into the chest to drain air and fluid, helping the lung to re-expand and heal.
  • Pleurodesis: This procedure uses chemical or mechanical irritants to create inflammation and adhesions between the lung and chest wall, preventing air from accumulating.

3. Surgical Options

In cases where non-surgical interventions are not effective or recurrent pneumothorax persists, our skilled and proficient plastic surgeons offer surgical solutions to provide long-term relief. These options include:

  • Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS): Also known as minimally invasive surgery, VATS utilizes small incisions and a camera to visualize and repair the lung with minimal disruption to the surrounding tissues.
  • Open Surgical Repair: In more complex cases, traditional open surgery may be required to access and repair the lung, ensuring optimal outcomes and reducing the risk of recurrence.
