Thoracoscopic Bullectomy Versus Thoracoscopic Bullectomy and Pleurodesis For Management of Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax; A Prospective Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study

Status: Unknown
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The exact pathogenesis of PSP is controversial. A few theories has been proposed contributing to the pathogenesity of the PSP as emphysematous like changes (ELCs) which lead to the formation and rupture of the lung bullae or blebs; and increased pleural porosity which is an abnormality of the visceral pleura. The Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery with bullectomy only is an effective preventive method of PSP recurrence. Adding mechanical pleurodesis to bullectomy is still questionable in the literature. This prospective multicenter study will identify the rate of PSP recurrence after thoracoscopic bullectomy only versus thoracoscopic bullectomy with mechanical pleurodesis.
