Impact of ventilation strategy on recurrence patterns after pneumothorax surgery: a stratified analysis by lung dystrophy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pneumothorax surgery is typically performed under one-lung ventilation (OLV); however, two-lung ventilation (TLV) may reduce volumetric stress on the contralateral lung, potentially lowering subsequent contralateral pneumothorax and shorten overall operation time thus we compared recurrence patterns of pneumothorax under two different ventilation strategies and defined likelihood of recurrence based on lung dystrophy and evaluated the feasibility of TLV.

Methods

This study retrospectively analyzed 180 primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) patients who underwent thoracoscopic surgery utilizing two different ventilation methods. Preoperative CT scans were used to calculate the Dystrophic Severity Score (DSS), and a subgroup analysis was conducted to evaluate the as
