Patients were categorized into the study group (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200965) and the control group (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200963) based on the surgical method used. The study group received C-shaped pleura cautery for pleurodesis, while the control group underwent traditional iodine chemical pleurodesis. Surgical and clinical outcomes were evaluated, and recurrence rates within one year postoperatively were compared. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and visual analog scale (VAS) scores were measured at different time points.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>No significant differences were observed between the two groups regarding surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, or postoperative hospital stay (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.05). However, the study group demonstrated significantly lower serum CRP levels and VAS scores on postoperative days 1 and 2, as well as reduced drainage volumes compared to the control group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05).

Compared to traditional iodine chemical pleurodesis, this method causes less pleural irritation, results in lower postoperative pain and drainage, and facilitates patient recovery, making it a safe and reliable option for the management of spontaneous pneumothorax.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2024.1480240","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,12]],"date-time":"2024-11-12T06:17:12Z","timestamp":1731392232000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Comparative
