title: [Spontaneous pneumothorax. Actual aspects].
abstract: Based on a group of 77 patients with 93 attacks of spontaneous pneumothorax the authors submit some unconventional views on this entity and recommend an algorithm of therapy. They assume that the "gold standard" of treatment is tubular drainage of the chest, and only if it fails, surgery is the method of choice.
