Introduction

Welcome to Neumark Surgery, a premier medical center dedicated to providing exceptional care in the field of plastic surgery. Our team of highly skilled doctors and plastic surgeons specializes in a range of treatments, including recurrent pneumothorax treatment. In this article, we will explore the various options available for effectively managing and treating recurrent pneumothorax.

Understanding Recurrent Pneumothorax

Recurrent pneumothorax is a condition characterized by the accumulation of air or gas in the pleural space, which leads to lung collapse. It is a potentially serious condition that requires prompt medical attention. At Neumark Surgery, our dedicated team of experts is experienced in diagnosing and treating recurrent pneumothorax cases.

Available Treatment Options

1. Non-Surgical Treatments

For patients with milder cases of recurrent pneumothorax, non-surgical treatment options may be recommended. These can include:

  • Observation: For small pneumothorax cases, close monitoring may be sufficient as the condition may resolve on its own.
  • Supplemental Oxygen: Administering supplemental oxygen can aid in reabsorbing trapped air and promoting lung re-expansion.
  • Needle Aspiration: In some cases, a needle may be inserted into the chest cavity to aspirate the excess air or gas, allowing the lung to re-inflate.

2. Surgical Treatments

When non-surgical treatment options prove ineffective, surgical intervention may be necessary. Neumark Surgery offers the following advanced surgical treatment options:

  • Pleurodesis: This procedure involves creating adhesions between the lung and the chest wall using chemicals or mechanical means. Pleurodesis helps prevent recurrence of pneumothorax.
  • Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS): VATS is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows visualization and treatment of the pleural space using a thoracoscope. This procedure speeds up recovery time and reduces post-operative pain.
  • Lobectomy: In severe cases of recurrent pneumothorax or when other treatments fail, the surgical removal of a lung lobe may be necessary to achieve proper lung function and prevent further recurrences.
