Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with blebectomy/wedge resection plus pleurodesis is the standard of care for recurrent primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) or, in certain instances, after the first episode. The chest tube from surgery is typically kept to suction until post-operative day (POD) 2 to allow for scarring of the lung to the chest to prevent recurrence. However, the scarring process takes place over a period of weeks and is there no data to support POD#2 as the best time to remove the chest tube. Also, shorter chest tube duration can lower length of stay, patient discomfort, and hospital cost. The goal of this randomized study is to determine if early removal (POD#1) of chest tube after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with blebectomy/wedge resection plus chemical pleurodesis for primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP): * has no worse 2-year recurrence rate compared to standard removal (POD#2) * will lower length of stay compared to standard removal * will result in less complications or re-interventions compared to standard removal Participants will be asked to join prior to surgery. Following standard-of-care surgery, participants will be screened for randomization. If still eligible, participants will be randomized for early chest tube removal or standard removal. Early Removal will happen within 24 hours after surgery, with Standard Removal happening day 2 after surgery. Participants will follow-up with the study team for 2 years on the following schedule: * In clinic with a chest x-ray 2 weeks after surgery * By phone 3 months after surgery * In clinic with a chest x-ray 1 year after surgery * In clinic with a chest x-ray 2 years after surgery
