متن کاملLocation of Ruptured Bullae in Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax
Background The surgical treatment of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) can be complicated by fragile lung parenchyma. The preoperative prediction of air leakage could help prevent intraoperative lung injury during manipulation of the lung. Common sites of bulla development and ruptured bullae were investigated based on computed tomography (CT) and intraoperative findings. Methods The s...
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...
