Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two treatment strategies--delayed versus immediate surgery-- for children with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (collapse of the lung). Currently, both treatment modalities are used and there is no clear evidence that either option is superior. The investigators hypothesize that immediate surgery will have better outcomes with lower recurrence rates than delayed surgery.
Primary Outcome
The recurrence rate is defined as the proportion of patients with recurrent ipsilateral pneumothorax during the follow-up period.
Interventions
- PROCEDURE Primary Surgery Group
- PROCEDURE Initial Non-operative management
