Pneumothorax.
Pneumothorax is a common clinical problem encountered by both surgical and medical physicians. Air leaks into the pleural space occur either spontaneously or as a result of traumatic tears in the pleura following chest injury or surgical procedures. Therapy is directed at removing air from the pleural space, re-expanding the underlying lung, and preventing recurrences.
