Pneumothorax Treatment in Singapore

Pneumothorax, also known as collapsed lung, occurs when air leaks into the space between the lungs and chest wall, causing the lung to collapse partially or completely. This condition requires immediate medical attention, and Neumark Surgery is here to provide you with the best pneumothorax treatment in Singapore.

Symptoms of Pneumothorax

It's important to be aware of the symptoms of pneumothorax, as early detection can significantly improve treatment outcomes. Some common symptoms include:

• Sharp or sudden chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Rapid breathing
• Chest tightness
• Decreased breath sounds on the affected side
• Cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin)

Diagnosis

At Neumark Surgery, our medical professionals employ advanced diagnostic techniques to accurately identify pneumothorax. The primary methods of diagnosis include:

• Chest X-ray: This common imaging test allows our doctors to visualize the lungs and identify any abnormalities, such as air between the lungs and chest wall.
• Computed Tomography (CT) scan: CT scans provide detailed cross-sectional images of the lungs, aiding in the detection and assessment of pneumothorax.

Treatment Options

Neumark Surgery offers a range of treatment options for pneumothorax, ensuring the most appropriate approach for each patient's condition:

Observation and Monitoring

In cases of a small and stable pneumothorax, where the symptoms are minimal, our doctors may suggest a conservative approach. Regular monitoring is essential to ensure the condition does not worsen.

Thoracentesis

Thoracentesis involves the removal of air from the chest cavity using a needle or small tube, relieving pressure and allowing the lung to re-expand. This procedure is commonly recommended for moderate-sized pneumothorax.

Chest Tube Insertion

If the pneumothorax is large or recurrent, our doctors may recommend chest tube insertion. The tube is placed between the ribs to drain air and allow the lung to re-expand gradually.

Pleurodesis

Pleurodesis is a procedure that promotes the adherence of the lung to the chest wall using a chemical or mechanical irritant. This prevents the recurrence of pneumothorax by creating a controlled inflammation and scarring in the pleural space.

Surgery

In severe cases of pneumothorax, surgical intervention may be necessary. Our skilled plastic surgeons perform minimally invasive thoracic surgery, such as video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) or robotic surgery, to repair lung blebs or remove damaged lung tissue.

Recovery and Aftercare

At Neumark Surgery, we prioritize the well-being and recovery of our patients. After pneumothorax treatment, our medical team will provide you with comprehensive aftercare instructions and support to ensure a smooth recovery process. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and address any concerns.
