At Neumark Surgery, we understand the impact recurrent pneumothorax can have on your life, which is why our team of expert doctors, medical centers, and plastic surgeons are dedicated to providing specialized treatment options to help you overcome this condition.

Understanding Recurrent Pneumothorax

Recurrent pneumothorax refers to the reoccurrence of a collapsed lung, even after treatment. This condition can cause sudden chest pain, difficulty breathing, and occasionally, shortness of breath. It commonly occurs due to the rupturing of small air sacs known as alveoli in the lungs, leading to the accumulation of air in the pleural space.

The Importance of Seeking Professional Medical Assistance

If you are experiencing recurrent pneumothorax symptoms, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention. Neumark Surgery stands as a leading medical center with a team of highly skilled doctors and plastic surgeons specializing in thoracic conditions, including recurrent pneumothorax. Our experts are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and advanced diagnostic tools to accurately assess and diagnose your condition.

Treatment Options for Recurrent Pneumothorax

1. Non-Surgical Treatments

Non-surgical treatments for recurrent pneumothorax may be effective for some patients, depending on the severity and underlying cause. These treatments include:

• Observation and Monitoring: For small pneumothorax cases, close monitoring and observation may be recommended to allow the body to reabsorb the trapped air over time.
• Needle Aspiration: In this procedure, a needle is inserted into the chest cavity to remove the excess air and relieve pressure on the collapsed lung.
• Chest Tube Insertion: A chest tube may be inserted to drain the accumulated air while allowing the lung to re-inflate naturally. This procedure is often performed under local anesthesia.

2. Surgical Interventions

For recurrent pneumothorax cases that do not respond to non-surgical treatments or require immediate relief, surgical interventions may be recommended. Neumark Surgery specializes in the following surgical treatment options:

• Pleurodesis: This procedure involves the use of chemicals or medications to induce scarring between the lung and chest wall, preventing the recurrence of pneumothorax.
• Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS): VATS is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows our skilled surgeons to access and repair the collapsed lung using small incisions and advanced video technology.
• Lung Surgery: In severe and complex cases, a surgical procedure such as thoracotomy or lobectomy may be required to remove diseased lung tissue and prevent future pneumothorax episodes.
