AIMS: Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is a sudden pleural disease predominantly affecting healthy adolescents and young adults, making it a prevalent thoracic disorder within this demographic. This study evaluated the necessity of preoperative chest tube insertion for PSP patients and reassessed current clinical practices.
METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records for individuals aged 14-30 years diagnosed with PSP who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) at Wonju Severance Christian Hospital from January 2016 to December 2022. Patients were categorized retrospectively into two groups based on their initial treatment: Those who had a chest tube inserted and those who did not. We collected and compared clinical data, including demographics, treatment specifics, and outcomes.
RESULTS: The study included 128 PSP cases. There was no difference in preoperative clinical data between the two groups, and there were no differences in operation time, number of wedge resections, and number of mechanical pleurodesis. However, the use of single-port surgery was significantly higher in the nonchest tube group (P = 0.001). The nonchest tube group had a significantly shorter hospital stay (P < 0.001), attributed to the absence of preoperative chest tube insertions. There were no significant differences in postoperative complications or recurrence rates between the groups.
CONCLUSIONS: In young PSP patients, proceeding directly to VATS without prior chest tube insertion in stable individuals does not lead to serious complications or negatively affect outcomes. This approach may offer an effective alternative for PSP management.
