dc.description.abstractAim To assess the efficacy of pleural tenting in patients with complicated primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) Methods. From 1988 through 2001, 43 patients underwent operations. Mean age was 30.4 years; the male/female ratio was 9.7. Twenty-one (48.8%) underwent pleural tenting in addition to bulla excision (experimental group, EG). Twenty-two (51.2%) underwent bulla excision plus pleural abrasion (11 patients), apical. partial pleurectomy (9 patients) and complete apical pleurectomy (2 patients) (control group, CG). The most frequent symptom was chest pain (37.2%). Surgical indications were recurrence in 21 (48.8%), prolonged air leak in 12 (27.9%), failure of expansion without air leak in 6 (13.9%), high risk occupancy in 2 (4.6%) and empyema due to air leak in 2 (4.6%). Results. Air leak time was decreased by tenting (1.9 days vs 3.7 days) as well as time of drainage (4.8 vs 6.9) and hospital stay (5.8 vs 7.9). Morbidity was 9.5% in EG and 9.1% in CG. Causes of morbidity were postoperative hematoma, prolonged air leak, expansion failure and blunt posterior sinus one of each. Re-operation needed for postoperative hematoma in CG. Mean follow-up was 5.1 years and 1 (4.5%) recurrence observed in CG. Conclusion. Tenting of the dependent lung from the apical pleura after bullectomy via axillary thoracotomy lessens air leak time without recurrence and low morbidity.en_US
