DOI: 10.1136/bmjresp-2018-000373
Abstract: Introduction The optimal management of pneumothorax remains undefined. There is a growing consensus that patients with spontaneous pneumothorax can be considered for ambulatory management with the use of a one-way valve. Despite this, there is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1183/13993003.03375-2020
Abstract: Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) is traditionally managed with an intercostal chest tube attached to an underwater seal. We investigated whether use of a one-way flutter valve shortened patients’ length of stay (LoS). This open-label randomised… read more here.

DOI: 10.21037/jtd-20-708
Abstract: Background Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax is generally managed by surgery, if pneumothorax was not improved following chest tube insertion or in the event of persistent air leakage lasting more than 5 days. However, if surgery is… read more here.

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery with Bullectomy and Partial Pleurectomy versus Chest Tube Drainage for Treatment of Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax—A Retrospective Single-Center Analysis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Medicina"
DOI: 10.3390/medicina58030354
Abstract: Background and objective: Current guidelines recommend chest tube (CT) drainage as the initial treatment of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP). Surgery should be considered in cases of persistent air leak or recurrent disease. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery… read more here.
