Talc Slurry Pleurodesis Procedure
Talc slurry pleurodesis is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat pleural effusions, or the accumulation of fluid in the space between the lungs and the chest wall. The procedure involves the injection of a talc-based slurry into the pleural space, which promotes the formation of a scar that seals the area and prevents further accumulation of fluid.
Talc slurry pleurodesis is generally considered a safe and effective treatment for pleural effusions, with a low risk of complications. The procedure can be performed as an outpatient procedure, and most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days.
