Pneumothoracic thoracoscopic surgery carries some risk, but the level of risk is not high, and the postoperative recovery rate is high and the prognosis is good. Pneumothoracic thoracoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that aims to restore negative pressure in the pleural cavity and get rid of the cause of pneumothorax. Usually, the surgical incision is small and short, and the trauma is also relatively small, and the postoperative complications and risks are also low, which makes it safer overall. However, some elderly patients with pneumothorax who suffer from diseases of the heart, lungs, kidneys and many other organs are at risk when undergoing pneumothorax surgery, and the risk of postoperative complications, which is relatively increased, need to be chosen carefully. Even though pneumothorax thoracoscopic surgery is not risky, a risk assessment needs to be done before having the surgery. After the surgery, you need to follow the doctor’s instructions to avoid strenuous exercise, you should have regular checkups, and if you experience symptoms such as breathlessness again, you should seek medical attention.
