The treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) remains controversial. Guidelines do not explicitly define surgical procedures. Different treatment modalities are observed in clinics of same profile. Treatment is controversial. The aim of the work was to compare the effectiveness of two methods-pleurectomy and pleurectomy combined with wedge resection in patients with PSP in terms of safety and efficiency.
