| Summary: | Objective:In this study we evaluated secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) patients who treated in Sağlık Bakanlığı Ankara Eğitim Ve Araştırma Hastanesi, Department of Thoracic Surgery during 5 years period.Material and method:The patients with diagnosis of SSP were analyzed retrospectively between 2005-2009. Age, gender, symptoms and treatment methods and results were evaluated in accor-dance with clinical and hospital databases.Results:In 5 years period 22 SSP patients were treated. Fourteen patients were male and 8 pa-tients were female. The mean age was 47.73±10.48. The mean hospitalization day was 10.68±4.24. In 18 patients (%81.8) lung expantion was provided with tube thoracostomy. In 3 patients (%13.6) for the reason of prolonged air leak chemical pleurodesis was performed. Only 1 patient (%4.5) was operated.Conlusion:SSP is a condition that requires early diagnosis and treatment. The first treatment option should be tube thoracostomy. In most of patients the appropriate treatment could be achieved with tube thoracostomy. |
