Which pneumothorax volume/size measurement method can best predict surgical indication in primary spontaneous pneumothorax patients? A comparison of six different methods

ConclusionsPneumothorax volume/size calculated in the first PSP episode may help predict surgical candidates, with Kircher's method being the best predictor. There was a correlation between all the volumetric methods of the pneumothorax volume.
