Thoracoscopy has specific advantages over traditional open thoracotomy, including shorter hospitalization, decreased recovery time, and an earlier return to the work force. Thoracoscopy and bleb ablation using sophisticated lasers has been successful in treating spontaneous pneumothorax. We have recently completed thoracoscopy bleb ablation with PDS Endoloop (Polyclioxanone, Ethicon, Inc., Somerville, NJ, U.S.A.) and pleurodesis in a patient with a recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax. The chest tube was removed and the patient discharged on the 3rd postoperative day. He returned to work on the 7th postoperative day. This new procedure can be used on selected patients with small blebs.
与传统的开胸手术相比，胸腔镜检查具有特定的优势，包括住院时间更短、恢复时间缩短以及更早重返工作岗位。使用先进激光进行胸腔镜检查和肺大疱切除术已成功用于治疗自发性气胸。我们最近使用PDS Endoloop（聚对二氧环己酮，美国新泽西州萨默维尔市Ethicon公司生产）对一名复发性自发性气胸患者进行了胸腔镜肺大疱切除术和胸膜固定术。术后第3天拔除胸腔引流管，患者出院。术后第7天他重返工作岗位。这种新方法可用于选定的小肺大疱患者。
