Abstract:
Objective To investigate the advantages, indications and efficiency of video-assited thoraco-scopic sugery in spontaneous pneumothorax. Methods 31 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax underwent video-assited thoracoscopic sugery, performed with endoscopic manual suture without use of endoscopic cutters. Results All patients were cured without recurrence. Conclusions Video-assited thoracoscopic sugery is the first choice in treating spontaneous pneumothorax,with minimal trauma,less bleeding. Endoscopic manual suture can obviously re-duce the treatment cost.
