Some Procedures done for Pleural and Mediastinal Include:
- Thoracentesis: This minimally invasive procedure uses a needle inserted between the ribs to remove fluid for analysis and symptom relief.
- Chest Tube Placement: A thin catheter is inserted through the chest wall to drain excess fluid or air, often after thoracentesis for larger or persistent effusions.
- Pleurectomy: This surgical procedure removes part of the thickened pleura to allow the lung to expand more easily.
- Mediastinoscopy: A thin, lighted scope is inserted through a small incision in the chest to directly visualize and potentially biopsy tissue from the mediastinum for diagnosis.
