[Surgical tactics in spontaneous pneumothorax].
219 cases of nonspecific spontaneous pneumothorax have been analysed. The bullous lung disease was the reason of pneumothorax in 55% of cases. Diagnostic and curative thoracoscopy is an important element of diagnosis. It was performed in 45 patients. Surgical operations were done in 56 patients. An active surgical policy in the treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax is advocated. Partial and subtotal pleurectomy plays an important role in surgery, especially in diffuse bullous lung disease.
