摘要：

Objective. Currently, the treatment of pneumothorax varies among hospitals. Three factors account for the differences. First, pneumothorax expresses the state of disease instead of the disease itself. Some pneumothoraces heal on their own but patients with pneumothorax due to chronic diseases may need further intervention. The decision for the choice of treatment is up to the physician. Second, it is insuffi cient to treat pneumothorax with current treatment guidelines. Third, prognosis and follow-up after pneumothorax treatment is not well documented. Therefore, verifi cation/assessment of treatment and its effect is insuffi cient. Methods. To prevent postoperative bulla neogenesis, the "covering technique" is most effective. Chemical pleurodesis has shown a great number of recurrences and has led to inconveniences, such as various results among individuals. Therefore, it should not be the recommended therapy. Results and conclusion. Intractable pneumothorax in elderly patients has been increasing year after year. Interventional treatments such as endobronchial Watanabe spigot embolization and the thoracographic fi brin glue sealing method are expected to become more common in the future, keeping some patients from undergoing surgery. Causes are still unknown for certain pneumothoraces in women, and there are still numerous cases of postoperative recurrence among young males. Further studies in this fi eld are expected in future. © 2010 The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery.
