👉 Cystectomies are surgical procedures in which a doctor removes a small amount of fluid from the chest cavity, usually due to medical conditions such as pneumonia, lung cancer, or heart disease. This fluid is then removed by suctioning it out of the lungs using a tube called a catheter. The goal of cystectomies is to help diagnose and treat chest infections, as well as to remove any remaining fluid that may be causing symptoms in other parts of the body.
