Yes it is! By far one of the most painful surgical procedures out there. Ive had two of them along with a lung lobectomy and each time was hospitalized for 1 month recovery time. My surgical pleurodesis was done due to 9 spontaneous pneumothorax.

A thoradesis is a term used when a procedure is used to remove tissue from the thorax (chest). It is also called a pleurodesis. It can, in effect, remove the pleural cavity.
