Spontaneous pneumothorax demands quick and well-considered decisions from the surgeon, and an error in choosing tactics results in recurrence and re-hospitalization of the patient. The course is built on modern principles of thoracic surgery and covers the diagnosis of bullous disease, indications for intervention, and endoscopic treatment techniques that reduce invasiveness and recovery time.

You will confidently differentiate clinical scenarios, reasonably choose the scope of the operation, and apply video-assisted thoracoscopic technologies in practice. A structured management algorithm will help minimize the risk of recurrence and act calmly even in an emergency situation.
