Abstract
Eight patients with recurrent of spontaneous pneumothorax were re-examined sixteen months or more after a total parietal pleurectomy had been carried out. This re-examination included: 1. Detailed case history with emphasis on physical performance; 2. clinical findings; 3. Thorax x-ray at two planes; 4. Lungscintigraphy; 5. Spirometry. Following parietal pleurectomy, none of the patients exhibited any functional disturbance worthy of mention. This operative technique, perhaps modified as a partial parietal pleurectomy, can be recommended at this time as the method of choice for treating recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax.
