In general, in cases of bilateral primary pneumothorax, videoassisted thoracoscopic surgery procedures are performed sequentially on both sides. However, there are only a few reported cases of bullectomy through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery using a transmediastinal approach for bilateral primary spontaneous pneumothorax. A 20-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with a right pneumothorax and developed a left pneumothorax four days later while he was under treatment.

Background: Diaphragmatic injuries, which can be seen after penetrating thoracic traumas, have some difficulties in diagnosis. Undiagnosed small diaphragmatic lacerations may lead to serious health problems.

Background: Broncho-pleural fistula (BPF) can occur after pulmonary resections as a complication with high morbidity and mortality rates.

Aim: In the present study, we analyzed the relation between the possible risk factors and the two major bronchial closure techniques for BPF after lung resections, and the management methods of BPF.

Materials And Methods: A total of 26 cases detected and managed with BPF diagnosis in our clinic between September 2005 and September 2017 were evaluated retrospectively.
