Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The goal of this retrospective study is to describe the outcomes of spontaneous idiopathic pneumothorax treated by thoracoscopy with pleural abrasion and blebectomy.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

are there risk factors leading to pneumothorax recurrence?
are pleural abrasion and blebectomy really diminishing the recurrence of pneumothorax?

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Spontaneous Pneumothorax Idiopathic Pneumothorax Bleb Lung Child, Only	Other: Video-Assisted Thoracoscopy with blebectomy and pleural abrasion

Detailed Description

The investigators describe the outcomes of the participants: length of stay, operating time, type and time before recurrence, occurrence of contralateral pneumothorax also treated by thoracoscopy, with pleural abrasion and blebectomy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Recurrence of pneumothorax [Through study completion, an average of 2 years]
Recurrence of pneumothorax after first pleural drainage or persistant air leaking

Secondary Outcome Measures

Other complications after surgery [Through study completion, an average of 2 years]
Hemothorax, early and late recurrence
Operating Time [Intraoperative]
Time for surgery
Length of stay [From admission to discharge home, up to 20 days]
Length of stay
The time between the surgery and postoperative consultation dates [Through study completion, an average of 2 years]
Follow-up represents the time between the surgery and postoperative consultation dates in days, months, or years. Generally, there are a-month-follow-up, a three month-follow-up, a six month-follow-up, and a year-follow-up. The surgeon can see the patient if there is any problem between these consultations. After a year of follow-up, it is up to the surgeon to decide if the patient needs to be seen yearly or not. The last follow-up date is crucial because it indicates how the patient is and if other follow-up dates need to be applied.
