INTRODUCTION Pneumothorax is defined as the appearance of gas in the pleural cavity The most important characteristic of spontaneous pneumothorax in general and primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) in particular are or recurrent The relapse rate of PSP range from 16% to 52% Thus for spontaneous pneumothorax, treatment consists of goals: solving gas leaks makes the lungs expand and preventing relapse In Vietnam since 1995, video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) treatment of pneumothorax was conducted in some hospitals like 103 Hospital, National Lung Hospital, Vietnam-Germany Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam Czech Hospital in Haiphong Pham Ngoc Thach Hospital, have conducted VATS to treat PSP since 2005 and have used the technique of pleurectomy, pleural abrasion against recurrence There have been many reports on the results of treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax with VATS is announced but these particular studies on treatment of PSP with VATS no more During surgery, the selection technique is effective and appropriate, choose methods pleural adhesion results, including monitoring of recurrence after surgery has not been paying much attention Stemming from the practical requirements mentioned above, we question the research aims to: Research objectives: Comment some clinical features, imaging of spontaneous pneumothorax primary Pham Ngoc Thach Hospital Evaluation of the results of treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax primary endoscopic surgical thoracic Pham Ngoc Thach Hospital New contributions of the thesis PSP disease common in young people, can rise making and is characterized by relapsing Without treatment interventions to prevent recurrence, the recurrence rate from 16% to average 52% The goal of treatment of pneumothorax is resolved as lung air leaks and prevent further expansion VATS treatment PSP with pleural adhesion mechanics are effective in preventing relapse with low complication rates, shorter hospital stays, less trauma, low recurrence rate Pleural abrasion for adhedsion in surgery endoscopic thoracic does not cause significant impact on pulmonary function of patients after surgery The size of pneumothorax on radiograph lung can predict the likelihood of air leakage prolong the patient from which the indication of early surgery Thesis structure The thesis is presented in 124 pages (excluding references and appendices) The thesis is divided into: Background: pages Chapter 1: Overview document 31 pages Chapter 2: Objects and methods of research 24 pages Chapter 3: Findings 28 pages Chapter 4: Communicate 28 pages Conclude; pages and 1npage petition The thesis includes 40 tables and charts In 111 reference document 13 Vietnamese, 98 English documents Appendices include studies, references, measuring pain intensity scale, medical research, patient list CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW 1.1 Certain anatomical features lung - pleura, pathophysiology, pathology related to PSP 1.2 The clinical features, imaging in PSP 1.2.3 The image of X-ray, computed tomography of pneumothorax 1.2.3.1 Image on chest radiograph BTS (2010) divided into two categories: + Small: when the distance measured on X-ray film from the visceral pleura of the chest to the shore in less than 2cm + Large: the distance from the shore in the visceral pleura of the chest over 2cm 1.2.3.2 Image on Film computed tomography chest CT Scanner is particularly effective in the detection of blebs and bullae 1.3 Treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax primary 1.4 VATS in the treatment of thoracic PSP 1.4.2 Endoscopic surgical treatment of PSP world 1.4.2.2 Identification and management of the lesions Use endoscopic stapler to cut through the air blebs and bullae advantages: easy to implement, shortening surgery, the rate of air leakage patients after surgery is lower 1.4.2.3 Pleurodesis methods in VATS treatment of PSP Pleurectomy: Deslauries J (1980) came into the pleurectomy apices based on the observed peak that most air blebs appear at the top of his lungs Pleural abrasion: In 1968, Clagett has suggested using common methods pleural parietal abrasion into the advantages of safety, less pain, not affect respiratory function steaming p 1.5 Situation VATST treatment PSP in Vietnam 1.5.1 Surgical treatment situation PSP by VATS in Vietnam In Vietnam, VATS has been used in the treatment PSP since 1995 in some hospitals such as Vietnam-Germany Hospital, Vietnam-Serbia Hospital, National Lung Hospital, 103 Military Hospital , Cho Ray Hospital, University Hospital of Medicine and recently Trung Vuong Emergency Hospital (HCMC), Pham Ngoc Thach Hospital (HCMC) 1.5.2 Findings treated by VATS PSP chest in Vietnam There have been many studies of thoracoscopic surgery treatment PSP in Vietnam, mainly focused on clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of spontaneous pneumothorax general Chapter 2: SUBJECTS AND METHODS 2.1 Research subjects Included 118 PSP patients treated with VATS pleural adhesion by mechanical methods in Pham Ngoc Thach hospital from 01/2007 to 08/2013 2.1.2 Criteria selected patients - Disagnostic PSP - Treatment by VATS and pleurodesis mechanic - Age: over 15 years old - About: both sexes (male and female) - Agree to participate in research 2.1.3 Exclusion criteria - Patients PSP treated with other methods -
