This study evaluated the necessity of preoperative chest tube insertion for PSP patients and reassessed current clinical practices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records for individuals aged 14\u201330 years diagnosed with PSP who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) at Wonju Severance Christian Hospital from January 2016 to December 2022. Patients were categorized retrospectively into two groups based on their initial treatment: Those who had a chest tube inserted and those who did not.

There was no difference in preoperative clinical data between the two groups, and there were no differences in operation time, number of wedge resections, and number of mechanical pleurodesis. However, the use of single-port surgery was significantly higher in the nonchest tube group (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.001).
