Pectoral myoplasty for recurrent pneumothorax: an extrathoracic solution to an intrathoracic problem.

E M Gilby1, N R McLean, G N Morritt.   

Abstract

The recurrence rate of spontaneous pneumothorax in patients with underlying lung disease can be as high as 50%. We present a novel method of treatment for recurrent pneumothorax based on the intrathoracic transfer of an extrathoracic muscle flap.
