[Mini-invasive operative interventions for spontaneous pneumothorax on the background of nonspecific pulmonary diseases].

The data, concerning the rate, causes and conditions of occurrence, localization of spontaneous pneumothorax, occurring on the background of non-specific pulmonary disease, tactic of its treatment, were adduced. The accent was done on the expediency of thoracoscopy performance for the correct diagnosis establishment as well as in the further tactic of treatment determination. The miniinvasive technologies introduction had permitted to improve the results of the patients treatment significantly and to prevent recurrence of spontaneous pneumothorax.
