Abstract
An accelerated two-phase surgical procedure is disclosed for creating a pneumostoma to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The first phase includes creation of a localized pleurodesis. The localized pleurodesis is created using chemical agents and/or mechanical fasteners to secure the visceral membrane to the pleural membrane. The second phase includes introduction of a surgical instrument into the lung via the pleurodesis to create the pneumostoma. The first and second phases are performed as parts of a single surgical procedure. The formation of a stable pleurodesis is to prevent pneumothorax during the procedure.
