oppustning

Oppustning is a term used in the field of medicine and surgery to describe the process of removing or reducing the volume of a body cavity or organ. This procedure is often performed to alleviate symptoms caused by excessive fluid or tissue accumulation, such as hydrocephalus, ascites, or edema. Oppustning can be achieved through various methods, including surgical drainage, the use of shunts, or the insertion of catheters to remove excess fluid. The goal of oppustning is to restore normal function and improve the patient's quality of life by reducing the pressure and discomfort associated with the accumulation of fluid or tissue. The term "oppustning" is derived from the Swedish word "oppustning," which translates to "emptying" or "draining." This procedure is typically performed by medical professionals with expertise in surgery or interventional radiology.
