Pleurodesis

What Is Pleurodesis?

Pleurodesis is a medical procedure used to treat recurrent pleural effusions or pneumothorax. It involves the induction of a controlled inflammatory response between the pleural layers (lining of the lungs) to create adhesions, which prevent further accumulation of fluid or air in the pleural space. Pleurodesis is generally considered safe and effective for treating recurrent pleural effusions or pneumothorax. However, it is important to discuss your symptoms with the doctor to assess the risks and benefits of the surgery and reduce complications. Consult us to book an appointment with some of the best surgeons for effective treatment.
