Fixing a Collapsed Lung - Neumark Surgery

Introduction

A collapsed lung, medically known as pneumothorax, can be a serious condition that requires prompt medical attention. At Neumark Surgery, our team of expert doctors and plastic surgeons is dedicated to providing the highest quality care for individuals with collapsed lung conditions. With our advanced medical facilities and exceptional expertise, we aim to deliver effective treatments and help patients recover quickly.

Understanding Collapsed Lung

A collapsed lung occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and the chest wall, causing the lung to partially or completely collapse. This condition can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, and rapid heart rate. There are different types of collapsed lung, including spontaneous pneumothorax (occurring without any known cause), traumatic pneumothorax (resulting from an injury), and tension pneumothorax (a life-threatening condition requiring immediate medical attention).

Treatment Options at Neumark Surgery

At Neumark Surgery, our team of doctors and plastic surgeons specializes in various treatment options to address collapsed lung conditions. The appropriate treatment depends on the severity and underlying cause of the collapsed lung. Here are some of the common treatment methods:

1. Observation and Monitoring

In cases where the collapsed lung is small and stable, a period of observation and monitoring may be recommended. This involves regular check-ups and imaging tests to ensure the lung is healing properly without the need for invasive intervention.

2. Chest Tube Insertion

If the collapsed lung is more severe, our medical experts may recommend chest tube insertion. This procedure involves inserting a flexible plastic tube into the chest cavity to remove the excess air and re-expand the lung. Chest tube insertion is typically facilitated under local anesthesia and requires close monitoring during the hospital stay.

3. Surgical Intervention

In some cases, surgical intervention may be required to address the underlying cause of the collapsed lung or to prevent recurrence. Our skilled plastic surgeons are experienced in performing minimally invasive surgeries to repair lung damage, remove blebs (air-filled sacs) or pleural adhesions, or even perform thoracoscopic surgery for more complex cases.
