Morbidity, mortality, and surgical treatment of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax
CONCLUSION: Large pneumothorax, poor physical performance, and comorbidity are associated with morbidity and mortality. Conservative treatment for small pneumothorax and chest tube for large pneumothorax is the most appropriate initial treatment. Resection of the bullous region through VATS or mini-AT/T is the most appropriate surgical technique.PMID:37563896 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2023.20566
