Overview
Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of [disease name].
OR
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with [disease name]. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either [indication 1], [indication 2], and [indication 3]
OR
The mainstay of treatment for [disease name] is medical therapy. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either [indication 1], [indication 2], and/or [indication 3].
OR
The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of [malignancy] at diagnosis.
OR
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for [disease or malignancy].
Indications
Management of pneumothorax depends on the following factors:
- Size of the pneumothorax
- Underlying disease/procedure causing pneumothorax
- Associated comorbid condition
- Type of pneumothorax (open/closed vs simple/tension)
First aid
- In all patients with chest trauma along with respiratory difficulty, following measures ahould be taken as the first line management.
- Maintaining the airway patency
- Assessment of breathing
- Prevention of circulatory collapse
- Oxygen therapy
- Patient should be positioned upright, unless there is a contraindication to it, such as spinal injury.
Oxygen therapy
- Immediate administration of 100% oxygen results in acclereated resorption of pleural air.[5][6]
- Patients who have contraindications to simple aspiration or tube thoracotmy can be given high concentration supplemental oxygen.
Surgical techniques
Following surgical techniques are used to treat pneumothorax:
- Open thoracotomy
- Video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS)
Surgery
- Simple aspiration[7]
- Open thoracotomy used to be the most commonly used surgical procedure along with wedge resection of the leaking part of the lung.
- Nowadays, video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) surgery has widely replaced the open surgical procedure for spontaneous pneumothorax.
Simple aspiration
Indications:
Procedure:
- A plastic IV cannula is inserted into the second intercostal space along the midclavicular line.[8][9][10]
- Alternatively, it can be inserted into the fifth intercostal space along the mid axillary line.[11][12]
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
- Not recommended for larger size pneumothorax
Tube thoracotomy

Complications of the procedure
- Injury to lung or mediastinum,
- Excessive bleeding most likely from intercostal artery injury
- Neurovascular bundle injury
- Infection
- Bronchopleural fistula
Video assisted thoracoscopic surgery
