Efficacy and Cost-Effectiveness of VATS Versus Chest Tube Drainage in First-Episode Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax With Blebs: A Propensity Score-Matched Retrospective Study

2025-08-18

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Background Optimal management for first-episode primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) with pulmonary blebs remains uncertain, balancing recurrence prevention against procedural costs. This study compared video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and chest tube drainage in terms of recurrence prevention and cost-effectiveness, incorporating sensitivity analyses to evaluate robustnes...
