The treatment for spontaneous pneumothorax can vary depending on the severity of the condition. In general, conservative treatment may be recommended for mild to moderate cases. At the same time, minimally-invasive interventions such as U-VATS may be prescribed if the air leak does not heal by itself and is prolonged, the pneumothorax recurs the second time, there is the presence of bilateral pneumothorax (pneumothorax occurring in both the lungs at the same time) and for professionals who are working as pilots, cabin crew staff and divers who are at a higher risk of pneumothorax recurrence due to pressure changes affecting their lungs during their work.
