AB  - Blebectomy  and  pleurectomy  is  recommended  for  the  second  episode  of  ipsilateral  spontaneous  pneumothorax,  or  the  first  episode  of  spontaneous  pneumothorax  with  an  apical  bleb  on  CT  scan.  Patients  who  are  severely  symptomatic  during  the  first  spontaneous  pneumothorax,  or  who  may  not  be  able  to  obtain  rapid  treatment  for  a  second  spontaneous  pneumothorax  by  virtue  of  poor  access  to  specialized  care,  may  benefit  from  pleurectomy  after  a  single  spontaneous  pneumothorax.
