Apex-to-Cupola Distance Following VATS Predicts Recurrence in Patients With Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax
Our study sought to determine whether the size of the residual apical pleural space in young patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is associated with the risk of recurrence. We retrospectively reviewed patients (≤30 years' old) with primary spontaneous pneumothorax following thoracoscopic surgery (2002-2010) in a university-affiliate...
متن کاملRecurrence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax.
BACKGROUND Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is a common clinical problem and its incidence is thought to be increasing. The risk of recurrence is high and various studies quote rates of 20-60%. Factors which may or may not predispose to recurrence have not yet been established. METHODS In a study period of four years 291 cases with a diagnosis of pneumothorax were reviewed; 153 patients...

OBJECTIVES Although better nutritional support has improved the growth rates in children, the occurrence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax has also been increasing in children. The current study attempts to investigate the occurrence and recurrence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax and the efficacy of surgery for primary spontaneous pneumothorax in young adults and children. METHODS A tot...
متن کاملAn open and shut case for early VATS treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax in children.
BACKGROUND Treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) involves thoracostomy tube (TT) drainage, with surgery reserved for persistent or recurrent air leaks. We hypothesized that the advent of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) would change indications and outcomes for surgical treatment of SP in our centre. METHODS We performed a retrospective (1993-2003) review of children treate...
