Pneumonopexy

Pneumonopexy is a medical procedure used to immobilize the lung in position. It is performed by injecting a special gas (usually oxygen) into the pleural cavity, which creates a pneumothorax, a condition in which the lung contracts and sticks to the inner wall of the chest cavity.

Pneumonopexy can be performed for both treatment and diagnosis of lung diseases. As a medical procedure, it is used to treat pneumothorax, a condition in which air enters the pleural space and compresses the lung, causing the person to experience pain and difficulty breathing. In such cases, pneumonopexy allows you to fix the lung in the desired position and prevent the recurrence of pneumothorax.

In addition, pneumonopexy can be used to diagnose various lung diseases such as tumors and cysts. In this case, gas is injected into the pleural cavity, which creates better conditions for visualizing the lung and identifying pathological changes.

Although pneumonopexy is a relatively safe procedure, it may be associated with some complications such as bleeding, infection, pleural rupture, and others. Therefore, before carrying out it, it is necessary to carefully evaluate the indications and risks.

In summary, pneumonopexy is an important medical procedure that allows for the treatment and diagnosis of lung diseases. It can be carried out either alone or in combination with other treatment methods, and should only be carried out under the supervision of qualified medical personnel.

Pneumonopexy is a pathological condition in which the lungs are displaced towards the abdominal cavity. This can be caused by various reasons such as injury, infection, tumor or other diseases.

Pneumonopexy can lead to various complications such as pneumothorax (air in the lungs), hemothorax (blood in the lungs), and pleural effusion (fluid in the pleural cavity). These conditions can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention.

Diagnosis of pneumonopexy is usually made using a chest x-ray. However, if symptoms are severe, a CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging may be needed.

Treatment for pneumonopexy depends on the cause and severity of the condition. In some cases, surgery may be required to fix the lungs in the correct position. In other cases, conservative treatment such as antibiotics, pain medications and physical therapy may be sufficient.

Prevention of pneumonopexy involves timely treatment of diseases that can lead to displacement of the lungs. It is also important to monitor your health and contact your doctor if you experience any lung-related symptoms.
