Pleural surgery, a medical procedure performed in hospitals and clinics globally, focuses on the pleura, a vital double-layered membrane enveloping the lungs and lining the chest cavity. This surgery aims to address various pleural conditions, such as pleural effusion (accumulation of fluid in the pleural space), pneumothorax (collapsed lung), and pleural Tumors.
Surgeons utilize several approaches, including thoracoscopy and thoracotomy, to access the pleural space. Minimally invasive techniques have gained popularity, reducing recovery time and postoperative discomfort. Common pleural surgeries involve draining excess fluid, removing infected tissue, biopsy for diagnosis, or repairing pleural defects. These procedures alleviate symptoms, restore lung function, and enhance the patient's overall quality of life.

There are two primary types of pleural effusion:
Transudative Pleural Effusion: This type is often caused by underlying medical conditions like heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or kidney disease. It results in a clear, straw-colored fluid in the pleural space.
Exudative Pleural Effusion: This type is usually caused by inflammation or infection in the pleura, such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, or cancer. It leads to a cloudy or bloody fluid in the pleural space.
Pleural effusion can occur due to various underlying causes, including:
Infections: Conditions like pneumonia, tuberculosis, or lung abscesses can lead to pleural effusion when infection spreads to the pleural space.
Heart Failure: Congestive heart failure can cause fluid to accumulate in the lungs, leading to pleural effusion.
Liver or Kidney Disease: Cirrhosis or kidney disease can result in fluid buildup in the body, including the pleura.
Trauma: Chest injuries or surgeries can cause pleural effusion due to damage to blood vessels or the pleura itself.
