A single-stage video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery procedure for simultaneous bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax in a supine position.

We report on the case of a 23-year-old man with simultaneous bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax (SBSP), treated with bilateral video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in a supine position. SBSP is a very rare condition that can be life-threatening when therapeutic techniques fail. We performed a unique operative procedure for SBSP using one-stage bilateral VATS in a supine position. This procedure is less invasive, more effective, and safer for the treatment of SBSP.
