About this study

Official title: Surgical Management of Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax in Children

The goal of this retrospective study is to describe the outcomes of spontaneous idiopathic pneumothorax treated by thoracoscopy with pleural abrasion and blebectomy.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • are there risk factors leading to pneumothorax recurrence?
  • are pleural abrasion and blebectomy really diminishing the recurrence of pneumothorax?
Read the detailed description

The investigators describe the outcomes of the participants: length of stay, operating time, type and time before recurrence, occurrence of contralateral pneumothorax also treated by thoracoscopy, with pleural abrasion and blebectomy

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Recurrence of pneumothorax

    1. Recurrence of pneumothorax Recurrence of pneumothorax after first pleural drainage or persistant air leaking

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Other complications after surgery

    Hemothorax, early and late recurrence

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 2 years

  2. Operating Time

    Time for surgery

    Measured: Intraoperative

  3. Length of stay

    Length of stay

    Measured: From admission to discharge home, up to 20 days

  4. The time between the surgery and postoperative consultation dates

    Follow-up represents the time between the surgery and postoperative consultation dates in days, months, or years.

    Generally, there are a-month-follow-up, a three month-follow-up, a six month-follow-up, and a year-follow-up. The surgeon can see the patient if there is any problem between these consultations. After a year of follow-up, it is up to the surgeon to decide if the patient needs to be seen yearly or not. The last follow-up date is crucial because it indicates how the patient is and if other follow-up dates need to be applied.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 2 years
