Respected user , Hi

Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .

* Usually punctate lung wounds get immediately sealed with
physiological mechanisms of the body itself .

* Certain level of damage only gets persistent , giving leaking symptoms
which may alarm for the laparoscopic repair .

Hope this clears your query .
Welcome for further details .

Regards dear .
