Mesothelioma Pleurodesis

Are you or a loved one suffering from painful fluid buildup caused by pleural mesothelioma? You may be able to find relief with a surgical procedure known as pleurodesis.

Mesothelioma pleurodesis is a minor surgery designed to treat pleural effusions. These effusions occur when fluid builds up between the lung and the chest wall, causing symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, and difficulty breathing.

During a pleurodesis, a skilled surgeon drains the extra fluid and permanently seals the lung lining to prevent fluid from building up again in the future.

Patients who undergo pleurodesis experience improved quality of life, reduced chest pain, and enhanced breathing ability.

If you or a loved one are seeking relief from pleural effusions caused by mesothelioma, pleurodesis may offer a permanent solution.
