<description><![CDATA[Decortication is a medical procedure that entails surgical removal of the exterior layer, membrane, or fibrous covering of an organ. The procedure is generally carried out when the lung is covered by a thick inelastic pleural peel impeding lung expansion. In a non-medical sense, decortication is the removal of the bark, husk, or an outer-most layer of an object. It is also used in the treatment of chronic laryngitis. When performing a decortication of the lung, which is the most ordinary form used, the patient is under general anesthesia and the chest cavity is broken open as it is during open-heart surgery. The surgeon studies areas of the pleural membrane (a kind of enclosure that surrounds the lungs) to find areas that have gotten fibrous and scarred, and removes them. The next step is to close the surgical opening and bring the patient out of anesthesia. This is major surgery, it is invasive and the patient needs several days of monitoring in a hospital to establish that the patient is healing as he/she should.]]></description>
