The aim of this study was to assess the best approach of initial treatment and long-term outcomes of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for primary spontaneous pneumothorax in pediatric patients.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Patients and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n From January 2009 until June 2019, 36 patients younger than the age of 18 who were treated for spontaneous pneumothorax were included into retrospective study. Patients were divided into 2 groups, non-VATS and VATS, depending on the way they were treated. The groups were compared regarding demographic and clinical data and outcomes of treatment (the length of hospitalization, the frequency of postoperative complications, and reoperations).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Out of 36 patients, there were 24 boys and 12 girls with median age of 16.5 years. Median duration of hospitalization was 8 days. Eight patients were treated by observation and 28 by chest tube insertion. In 14 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax, VATS was performed [indications were persistent air leak in 8 (57%) and recurrent pneumothorax in 6 (43%) children]. Patients who underwent surgery had significantly higher length of hospitalization (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.001) and lower rate of recurrences (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.003) than those who did not. In 12 (86%) patients, blebs were found intraoperative, and in all of them, pleurodesis was performed. Duration of chest tube insertion was significantly longer in patients who experienced recurrent pneumothorax (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.001).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n VATS is successful, efficient, and safe method of treatment for spontaneous pneumothorax, due to its significantly lower rate of recurrence in comparison with chest tube insertion.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/lap.2019.0742","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,13]],"date-time":"2020-03-13T12:55:09Z","timestamp":1584104109000},"page":"569-575","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Management of the Pediatric Spontaneous Pneumothorax: The Role of Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Zenon","family":"Pogoreli\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, University Hospital of Split, Split, Croatia."},{"name":"Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, University of Split, Split, Croatia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ru\u017eica","family":"Gudelj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, University of Split, Split, Croatia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dora","family":"Bjelanovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, University of Split, Split, Croatia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miro","family":"Juki\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, University Hospital of Split, Split, Croatia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Elezovi\u0107 Baloevi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, University of Split, Split, Croatia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sandro","family":"Glumac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Reanimatology and Intensive Care, University Hospital of Split, Split, Croatia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dubravko","family":"Furlan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, University Hospital of Split, Split, Croatia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Pneumothorax in pediatric patients: Management strategies to improve patient outcomes","volume":"14","author":"Harris M","year":"2017","unstructured":"Harris M, , Rocker J.
