Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. Is the procedure of lung bleb resection under thoracoscopy dangerous?Doctor's answer:
A bulla is a common disease diagnosed in respiratory medicine, primarily caused by respiratory system diseases that weaken the ability of alveoli to contract, interfere with lung ventilation function, and easily lead to alveolar rupture, forming a pneumothorax. Therefore, active treatment is essential. If the condition is severe and conservative treatment is ineffective, surgery should be considered. Currently, with the advancement of clinical medical technology, thoracoscopic bulla resection has been widely used in clinical diagnosis. The technique is highly mature and poses no risk.
