What is the treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax?
Initial treatment for primary spontaneous pneumothorax is Needle Aspiration Primary spontaneous pneumothorax occurs almost exclusively in smokers; suggests that these patients have subclinical lung disease. If the patient has a recurrent pneumothorax, thoracoscopy with stapling of blebs and pleural abrasion is indicated. Thoracoscopy is almost 100% successful in preventing recurrences.
