Approaches of Surgical Treatment for Pneumothorax

Abstract: We aimed by this review to discuss and overview the surgical procedures for treatment of pneumothorax, also we intended to discuss the pathogenesis and classification of pneumothorax. Databases were searched, including EMBASE, MEDLINE/ PubMed, for relevant articles reviewing and evaluating the surgical procedures for pneumothorax, as well as reference lists of included in included studies were also searched for more relevant studies published up to January 2017, with English language restriction and human subjects. The treatment algorithm is now shown on a single flowchart for pneumothorax and locations somewhat less focus on the size of the pneumothorax and more on the medical functions. The pattern to more conservative management is maintained, with observation for lots of patients with pneumothorax, aspiration for the rest, and small-bore chest drains pipes for relentless air leaks. The imaging of pneumothorax has actually undergone a major modification due to the introduction of Digital radiography innovation, and the implications of this are now described. Surgical practice has actually likewise established with the extensive adoption of less intrusive (VATS) procedures instead of open thoracotomies. Keywords: pneumothorax, surgical procedures, VATS.
