Abstract:

The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of videothoracoscopic (VATS) costal pleurectomy in patients with primary and secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SP). 136 patients were selected for the retrospective study. Among them 114 were men, the rest 22 - women with a mean age of 29.3 years (range 16 to 37 years). 123 patients had primary SP; 13 patients were diagnosed with interstitial lung disease and secondary SP. The follow-up time after surgery was minimally 3 years. The duration of the postoperative thoracic draining was 2.1 days for patients with primary SP and 3.4 days for those with the secondary SP. The length of the ICU stay was 1.1 and 1.2 days respectively. The overall complication rate was 9% for patients with primary SP and 47% for patients with secondary SP; the recurrence rate was 1 and 23%, respectively. Thus, marked satisfactory immediate and long-term outcomes among patients with primary SP, the VATS pleurectomy can not be considered the method of choice for patients with secondary SP, cause by interstitial lung disease.
