What is Pneumothorax?

Pneumothorax is a condition characterized by the presence of air between the lung and the chest wall, which can result in lung collapse. This can lead to breathing difficulties and chest pain, requiring immediate medical attention.

The Process of Diagnosing Pneumothorax

When you visit our Neumark Surgery center, our experienced doctors will conduct a thorough physical examination and may order diagnostic tests such as chest X-rays or CT scans to confirm the presence of pneumothorax.

Treatment Options for Pneumothorax

Depending on the severity of the pneumothorax, treatment options may vary. Small pneumothoraxes may resolve on their own, while larger ones may require intervention.

Non-surgical Management

In cases of small pneumothoraxes, your doctor may recommend a period of observation to allow the air to reabsorb on its own. This approach is often effective for minor cases.

Needle Aspiration

If the pneumothorax is larger and causing discomfort or breathing difficulties, needle aspiration may be performed. This involves inserting a needle into the chest cavity to remove the excess air.

Chest Tube Insertion

For more severe pneumothoraxes, a chest tube may be inserted to help drain the air and allow the lung to re-expand. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is highly effective in relieving symptoms.

Recovery and Follow-up Care

After undergoing treatment for pneumothorax at Neumark Surgery, it's important to follow your doctor's instructions for recovery and attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress. Most patients experience significant improvement after treatment.
