OBJECTIVES: The outcome of surgical treatment for @entity5229 ( @entity5229 ) has rarely been investigated. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 183 @entity1 who underwent surgery for @entity5229 . We categorized the @entity1 into three groups according to underlying diseases: Group A ( @entity1030 ), Group B ( @entity401 [ @entity401 ]) and Group C (others). We defined treatment success as surgery without hospital mortality, @entity260 , @entity204 within 6 months or ipsilateral recurrence of pneumothorax within 2 years. We assessed the risk factors for unsuccessful treatment using a Cox regression hazard model. RESULTS: There were 123 @entity1 in Group A, 20 in Group B and 40 in Group C. The hospital mortality rates were 2, 15 and 0% in Groups A, B and C, respectively. The hospital mortality, morbidity and pneumothorax recurrence rates in the @entity401 group were higher than in the other groups. The 5-year overall survival rates were 78, 32 and 84% in Groups A, B and C, respectively; the prognosis of the @entity401 group was significantly poorer. The treatment success rates were 86, 45 and 83% in Groups A, B and C, respectively. SSPs caused by @entity401 and SSPs requiring open surgery were identified as the risk factors for unsuccessful treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Surgery for @entity5229 caused by underlying diseases other than @entity401 yielded favourable results. However, a careful examination of surgical indication and a realistic disclosure for informed consent are required for @entity1 with @entity5229 caused by @entity401 , because of the high treatment failure rate.
