Minimally Invasive VATS Bullectomy And Pleurectomy For Primary Pneumothorax
Case description
Minimally Invasive VATS Bullectomy and Pleurectomy for Primary Pneumothorax. Performed by Dr. Michael Augustine Ko at St. Joseph's Hospital, Toronto. Primary pneumothorax is a disease that usually affects, young, otherwise healthy adults. It is caused by bullae (blisters) which rupture, leading to air leakage and lung collapse. This operation is designed to remove the bullae itself, and to induce scarring of the lung to the chest wall; thereby preventing recurrence. This operation is performed through 3 incisions, no more than 1 cm in diameter.
