Pleurodesis Surgery for Recurrent Pleural Effusion and Pneumothorax
Advanced Pleurodesis Treatment at Phoenix Cancer Care Clinic, PCMC
Phoenix Cancer Care Clinic, led by Dr. Siddhesh Tryambake, provides comprehensive care for patients requiring pleurodesis surgery. Pleurodesis is a specialized medical procedure used to prevent the recurrence of pleural effusion (fluid around the lungs) or pneumothorax (collapsed lung), improving breathing comfort and overall quality of life.
What is Pleurodesis?
Pleurodesis is a procedure that creates a permanent bond between the lung and chest wall, eliminating the space where fluid or air can accumulate. This treatment is commonly recommended for patients experiencing recurrent pleural effusions, malignant pleural effusions, or repeated episodes of pneumothorax.
The procedure can be performed using medications such as sterile talc or through minimally invasive surgical techniques, depending on the patient's condition.
When is Pleurodesis Recommended?
Pleurodesis may be advised for:
Malignant Pleural Effusion
Recurrent Pleural Effusion
Recurrent Pneumothorax
Lung Cancer-Related Pleural Effusion
Metastatic Cancer Involving the Pleura
Chronic Fluid Accumulation Around the Lungs
Benefits of Pleurodesis
✔ Reduces recurrence of pleural effusion

Pleurodesis for Cancer Patients
