Pneumothorax surgery does not have a bad effect on the body, on the contrary, after pneumothorax surgery will only make the body better and better. In normal people, there is a potential pleural cavity on the outside of the lungs. The pleural cavity is negatively pressurized under normal conditions, in order to make the lungs and the chest wall sufficiently close to each other, so that the lungs can fully expand, and when a person takes a deep breath, there will not be any violent friction between the lungs and the chest wall, which can lead to chest pain and other symptoms. In some cases, such as a knife stabbing, a defect in the chest wall or a break in the lung, gas can enter between the lungs and the chest wall, which is called a pneumothorax. The presence of gas can prevent the lung from expanding fully, and at some point the increased pressure of the gas can even compress the lung completely. So having a pneumothorax surgery is to repair the breach in the lung or chest wall and completely expel the gas from the pleural cavity, so that the lung can fully expand and function at 100%. So there will be no bad effects on the body after pneumothorax surgery, instead, the lungs will be fully expanded and the patient’s lung function will be restored to its optimal level. Of course there will be some scars or wounds after having the surgery, but the current thoracoscopic surgery is becoming more and more minimally invasive, and only a 1-2cm incision is needed to cure the pneumothorax completely.
