Abstract

An investigation was made on a series of 47 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax after thoracoscopic surgery. Postoperative recurrence was shown in four patients, six operations (10.5%). The causes for these recurrences were thought to be insufficient resection of bulla in one operation and oversight or growth of bulla in five operations. In thoracoscopic surgery for spontaneous pneumothorax, careful observation and sufficient resection of bulla may be crucial and observation and investigation of further growth of bulla after surgery would be needed.
