Pneumopexy

Pneumopexy: the essence of the procedure and areas of application

Pneumopexy is a medical procedure that is used to treat various lung diseases. This procedure involves introducing air into the pleural cavity (the space between the lungs and the chest), which creates additional pressure on the damaged part of the lung and helps it consolidate.

Historically, pneumopexy was developed to treat tuberculosis, but it is now used to treat a variety of other lung diseases. Additionally, pneumopexy may be used to treat pneumothorax (a buildup of air in the pleural cavity), which causes the lung to fail to function properly and may cause the lung to collapse.

The pneumopexy procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and the patient remains conscious during the procedure. The doctor uses a special instrument called a pneumopexy needle to inject air into the pleural space. The patient may then be required to remain in bed for several days to ensure that the damaged part of the lung is properly established.

Pneumopexy can be an effective procedure for treating a variety of lung conditions, but it is not suitable for all patients. The physician must evaluate the patient and determine whether pneumopexy is appropriate for his or her case.

In conclusion, pneumopexy is a procedure that can be used to treat a variety of lung conditions. It is performed under local anesthesia and may require bed rest for several days after the procedure. However, as with all medical procedures, pneumopexy is not suitable for all patients, and the physician must evaluate each case individually.



Pneumopexy is an operation for suturing a pericardial defect or suturing its lacerations with the subsequent elimination of possible relapse of pericarditis. To eliminate the defect during pneumopericardoscopy, we use a special clamp. With one hand I fix the heart in a sitting position, with the other hand I hold the clamp over the heart and make several movements
