About Lung Reduction Surgery
Emphysema, a condition where lung tissue can no longer stretch to capacity, is often routed in prior poor health choices, like smoking, or from working in high dust and particle environments. COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) encompasses both emphysema and chronic bronchitis caused by poor breathing environments. During lung reduction 20 to 30 percent of the most damaged areas of the lung are removed so that air can better flow from the remaining areas of the lung. This surgery, combined with a change in life style and pulmonary therapy, can greatly increase the quality of life for someone suffering from chronic emphysema.
