Clinical Trial 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?

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

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Recurrence of pneumothorax	Recurrence of pneumothorax after first pleural drainage or persistant air leaking	Through study completion, an average of 2 years
Secondary	Other complications after surgery	Hemothorax, early and late recurrence	Through study completion, an average of 2 years
Secondary	Operating Time	Time for surgery	Intraoperative
Secondary	Length of stay	Length of stay	From admission to discharge home, up to 20 days
Secondary	The time between the surgery and postoperative consultation dates	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.	Through study completion, an average of 2 years
