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.
