Brief summary
The goal of this retrospective study is to describe the outcomes of spontaneous idiopathic pneumothorax treated by thoracoscopy with pleural abrasion and blebectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * are there risk factors leading to pneumothorax recurrence? * are pleural abrasion and blebectomy really diminishing the recurrence of pneumothorax?
Detailed description
The investigators describe the outcomes of the participants: length of stay, operating time, type and time before recurrence, occurrence of contralateral pneumothorax also treated by thoracoscopy, with pleural abrasion and blebectomy

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Recurrence of pneumothorax | Through study completion, an average of 2 years | 1\. Recurrence of pneumothorax Recurrence of pneumothorax after first pleural drainage or persistant air leaking |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Other complications after surgery | Through study completion, an average of 2 years | Hemothorax, early and late recurrence |
| Operating Time | Intraoperative | Time for surgery |
| Length of stay | From admission to discharge home, up to 20 days | Length of stay |
| The time between the surgery and postoperative consultation dates | Through study completion, an average of 2 years | Follow-up represents the time between the surgery and postoperative consultation dates in days, months, or years. Generally, there are a-month-follow-up, a three month-follow-up, a six month-follow-up, and a year-follow-up. The surgeon can see the patient if there is any problem between these consultations. After a year of follow-up, it is up to the surgeon to decide if the patient needs to be seen yearly or not. The last follow-up date is crucial because it indicates how the patient is and if other follow-up dates need to be applied. |
