Lung Trauma Surgery

Lung trauma surgery is a medical procedure aimed at treating injuries to the lungs, which can occur from accidents, falls, or penetrating wounds like gunshots. When the lungs are damaged, they may not function properly, leading to breathing difficulties. Surgeons may perform operations to repair torn tissue, remove damaged parts, or drain blood or fluid that accumulates in the chest. The goal is to restore normal lung function and prevent complications. Recovery depends on the severity of the injury and the individual’s overall health, but timely surgical intervention is crucial for optimal outcomes.
