Lung Injury Surgery

Lung injury surgery refers to surgical procedures aimed at treating damage or disease in the lungs, such as infections, tumors, or traumatic injuries. These surgeries can involve removing part of a lung (lobectomy), draining fluid accumulation (thoracentesis), or repairing damaged tissues. The goal is to restore lung function, alleviate symptoms like difficulty breathing, and improve the patient’s overall health. Surgeons typically use advanced techniques, often minimally invasive, to reduce recovery time and minimize complications. This type of surgery is usually part of a broader treatment plan that may include medications and rehabilitation.
