A standard treatment for pneumothorax due to bleb rupture is thoracoscopic blebectomy, often combined with pleurodesis to reduce recurrence risk. However, pleurodesis can cause significant postoperative pain. This study evaluates the efficacy of the no-knife endoscopic stapler blebotomy without pleurodesis using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for spontaneous pneumothorax.
