Video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) era in surgical treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax
Keywords:
thoracoscopy, video assisted thoracic surgery, spontaneous pneumothoraxAbstract
Background: VATS is now regarded by many surgeons to be the gold standard in the surgical management of a variety of thoracic conditions, such as spontaneous pneumothorax (SP), pleural diseases, and indeterminate lung nodules. Aim and objectives: to describe different VATS techniques in patients with spontaneous pneumothorax.Summary: Several clinical management issues remain unanswered. Firstly, the duration of prolonged air leak that warrants VATS remain controversial. Current recommendations range from five days by BTS to three days advocated by our institute with more than a decade of experience with VATS for SP. Furthermore, whether VATS should be offered to all patients with low general anesthetic risk presenting with first episode of SP is unclear. Furthermore, the evolution of surgical techniques to allow ipsilateral thoracoscopic approach to treat contralateral bullous lesion may redefine the indications for CT scan in SP. Technically, the debate will continue among the surgeons on the type of VATS procedure that will minimize pneumothorax recurrence. Most surgeons will agree that some form of bullectomy (endoscopic staple or suturing) is mandatory. However, the nature of pleurodesis (mechanical, chemical, or both) that follow is often at the discretion of the individual clinician.
