The investigators conducted a prospective randomized study to compare axillary minithoracotomy versus a modified two-port thoracoscopic technique for surgical pleurodesis in patients with recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax operated in a single institution.
The main objective of the study was to investigate possible differences regarding short- and long-term clinical outcome between the two different techniques.
