China260 participantsStarted 2015-06
Plain-language summary
This subject analysis of the influence of the dissociating inferior pulmonary ligament on pulmonary reexpansion and recurrence in the treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax by video assisted thoracic surgery. All patients are randomly divided into two groups: group A and group B. Wedge resection(WR) will be performed for all patients. Investigators dissect the inferior pulmonary ligament(DIPL) for group A. Investigators do not dissect the inferior pulmonary ligament for group B. The pulmonary reexpansion and recurrence rate are observed between the two groups.
