What is Pneumothorax?

Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, occurs when air collects in the space between the lung and the chest wall, causing the lung to collapse partially or completely. This condition can be caused by various factors such as trauma, underlying lung diseases, or even spontaneously without any identifiable cause.

Treatment Options at Neumark Surgery

At Neumark Surgery, our doctors and medical experts specialize in diagnosing and treating pneumothorax using advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment. We offer a comprehensive range of treatment options, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient.

1. Observation and Monitoring

In cases of small, asymptomatic pneumothorax, our doctors may choose to monitor the condition closely without immediate intervention. Regular follow-ups and imaging tests are conducted to ensure that the pneumothorax does not worsen.

2. Needle Aspiration

For larger pneumothorax or when symptoms are present, needle aspiration may be performed. This procedure involves inserting a needle into the chest cavity to remove the trapped air and relieve the pressure on the lung. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can provide immediate relief to the patient.

3. Chest Tube Insertion

In more severe cases of pneumothorax, chest tube insertion may be necessary. A small tube is inserted into the chest cavity to allow for the continuous drainage of air and prevent the lung from collapsing further. This procedure may require a short hospital stay for close monitoring and management.

4. Surgery (Pleurodesis or VATS)

In certain cases, surgical intervention may be required to prevent recurrent pneumothorax. Pleurodesis is a procedure in which chemicals or medications are introduced into the chest cavity to create inflammation and adhesion, resulting in the fusion of the lung to the chest wall. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is another surgical option, which involves making small incisions and using a tiny camera to guide the surgical instruments.
