Bilateral primary spontaneous pneumothorax with multiple bleb performed by VATS and wedge resection: A rare case in Indonesian adult and review article.
International Journal of Surgery Case Reports 2021 August
BACKGROUND: Bilateral primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is a rare case of lung disease.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 20-year-old man with a complaint of shortness of breath is suspected of having PSP and tuberculosis. The patient underwent water seal drainage installation in both lung cavities, but showed no improvement. Multiple blebs were found after a few days. A wedge resection with VATS became an option. The patient had improved lung function after the procedure.
DISCUSSION: The WSD installation showed lungs improvement. However, when trained for lung expansion, the lung condition became bad. After wedge resection with the help of VATS on multiple blebs, the lung had a significant improvement.
CONCLUSION: Wedge resection could be considered in PSP patients with multiple blebs.
