Lung Volume Reduction Surgery
A Lung Volume Reduction surgical procedure (LVRS) is a medical intervention aimed at removing diseased, emphysematous lung tissue. This method decreases the size of an over-inflated lung, facilitating the expansion of the remaining, often more functional lung.
LVRS is employed for select patients with severe emphysema, a prevalent form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD). It is recommended for those experiencing disabling dyspnea (shortness of breath), breathing difficulties, and demonstrating significant air trapping due to emphysema or other lung ailments.
Symptoms
Key symptoms to monitor include:
- Persistent coughing or wheezing.
- A cough that generates excessive mucus.
- Shortness of breath, particularly during physical activities.
- Audible whistling or squeaking sounds while breathing.
- Chest tightness.
When to access Medical Care
Lung volume reduction surgery has demonstrated the ability to improve breathing capacity, lung function, and overall quality of life in specific patients. The success of this procedure depends on factors such as the location or extent of the diseased tissue, along with the patient’s exercise tolerance and ability to undergo surgery.
Determinants of risk
Although beneficial for certain patients, lung reduction surgery comes with potential risks, including:
- Air leakage: Escape of air from lung tissue into the chest cavity, often at the suture line.
- Pneumonia or infection.
- Stroke.
- Bleeding.
- Heart attack.
- Fatality, particularly if complications such as those mentioned above worsen.
Recovery process
Recovery duration varies, contingent on factors like patient characteristics, chosen procedure, and the extent of severity.
