Whether surgery is recommended for pneumothorax alveoli is mainly based on the recurrence of pneumothorax and the patient’s condition, etc.: Surgery is generally recommended in the case of spontaneous hemopneumothorax, spontaneous tension pneumothorax, recurrent multiple episodes of pneumothorax, persistent air leakage from the lungs, bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax (at the same time or sequentially), and patients with special work type.
1. Pneumothorax alveoli with spontaneous hemopneumothorax, spontaneous tension pneumothorax, etc. can be life-threatening and emergency surgery may be recommended.
2. Surgery may be recommended for pneumothorax alveoli with more than two recurrent episodes of spontaneous pneumothorax.
3. Surgery may be recommended for patients with pneumothorax alveolar chest closed drainage for more than 72 hours who still have persistent air leakage from the lungs and the lungs are unable to re-expand.
4. Bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax (at the same time or successively) may also be recommended for surgery.
5. Surgery may be recommended for patients with special jobs such as divers, field workers, pilots, etc.
Whether surgery is recommended for pneumothorax alveoli or not, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further counseling or treatment.
