[Pneumothorax surgery].

Surgery remains the mainstay treatment of recurrent pneumothorax. We recall the therapeutic modalities and indications of surgery in case of pneumothorax. We then compare postoperative outcome, recurrence rate and chronic pain with regard to techniques and surgical approach. Current video-thoracoscopic or axillary thoracotomy procedures for bullous disease with pleurodesis allow a low rate of morbidity and recurrence after primary or secondary spontaneous pneumothorax.

[New attitudes to the treatment of recurrent idiopathic pneumothorax].

We examine the classical indications for thoracoscopy in case of pneumothorax and recall the therapeutic modalities of thoracoscopic treatment. We then discuss the long-term incidence of this approach, examining outcome in terms of post-operative pain, respiratory function, cost and complications. A comparison of these parameters after thoracoscopy with those observed after classical surgery would favor thoracoscopic management.
