[Simultaneous treatment of bilateral pneumothorax with videothoracoscopic surgery (VATS)].
The authors report a simultaneous treatment of bilateral pneumothorax by videoscopic operation in a young male patient. An endoscopic stapler played an important role in the success of the operation. The authors claim that videothoracoscopic treatment (VATS) for bilateral pneumothorax is a faster and more effective way of treatment than the previous ones. This method significantly decreases the risks and the postoperative complications; in particular, in a case of bilateral pneumothorax.
