About

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?
