The patient was in her mid-40s with a body mass index of 28.0 and had no history of smoking. Her spontaneous pneumothorax manifested without any precipitating events or complications during recovery. There was no evidence of any infectious process. There were no central line attempts and all ports were placed intra-peritoneally, and there was no evidence of any subcutaneous emphysema. One possible mechanism of injury that we propose is barotrauma from an extended period of time in Trendelenburg position. Notably, the only abnormal finding throughout the entire post-operative period preceding the delayed pneumothorax was a PO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    desaturation the day before. This case highlights the necessity to examine and investigate any desaturation post-operatively and deliberate its possible significance. Furthermore, it demonstrates that, even during a normal recovery period for a patient without any underlying lung disease or risk factors, spontaneous pneumothorax could still develop in a delayed fashion multiple days post-operatively from a laparoscopic procedure.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2050313x14554940","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,17]],"date-time":"2014-10-17T03:57:07Z","timestamp":1413518227000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Delayed pneumothorax after laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy in a patient without underlying lung disease"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Richie K","family":"Huynh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Surgery, Integrated Medical Science Department, Charles E.
