Left single-lung transplantation in a 46-year-old man was complicated by spontaneous contralateral pneumothorax during the immediate postoperative period. This persisted despite chemical pleurodesis, but was successfully treated by videothoracoscopic pleurectomy, with minimal effect on respiratory function. The increasing use of single-lung transplantation for emphysema may increase the incidence of such problems from the native lung. Minimally invasive techniques may be of great clinical benefit in this situation.
一名46岁男性接受左单肺移植，术后早期出现对侧自发性气胸并发症。尽管进行了化学性胸膜固定术，但气胸仍持续存在，不过通过电视胸腔镜胸膜切除术成功治愈，对呼吸功能影响极小。因肺气肿而越来越多地进行单肺移植可能会增加来自健侧肺此类问题的发生率。在这种情况下，微创技术可能具有很大的临床益处。
