Thoracoscopy for Idiopathic 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?

About this study

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

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients younger than 18 years old who had a video-assisted thoracoscopy with pleural abrasion and blebectomy for spontaneous idiopathic pneumothorax

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients older than 18 years old who had a video-assisted thoracoscopy with pleural abrasion and blebectomy for spontaneous idiopathic pneumothorax

Treatment and study plan

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopy with blebectomy and pleural abrasion

Other

Thoracoscopic management of pneumothorax

Primary outcomes

  1. Recurrence of pneumothorax

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years

    • Recurrence of pneumothorax Recurrence of pneumothorax after first pleural drainage or persistant air leaking

Secondary outcomes

  1. Other complications after surgery

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years

    Hemothorax, early and late recurrence

  2. Operating Time

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Time for surgery

  3. Length of stay

    Time frame: From admission to discharge home, up to 20 days

    Length of stay

  4. The time between the surgery and postoperative consultation dates

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years

    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.
