Can you tell me what would be the best way to deal with collapsed lung? I have been treating it with a chest tube, but it keeps happening again and again and I am actually sick and tired of constantly going to hospital. What about operation? Will that help? I have to believe there is a better option.
And surgery would have to be that better solution. Although, many people say that it might happen again, even with surgery, but it is much less possible than without it. I have a friend that has done that procedure, he said that his condition is much better now, although he must not use planes and do deep diving.
Is not not better option you need to call DR Peter Fonseca MD, FACS
