The authors suggest performing thoracoscopic coagulation of pleuropulmonary defects with a plasma stream (VSVU-160 apparatus) in patients with traumatic and spontaneous pneumothorax. A special nozzle and a manipulation trocar were designed for this purpose. Such combined thoracoscopy was used successfully in 31 patients with open and closed chest injury with rupture of the subpleural bullae. The manipulation makes it possible to reduce the number of emergency thoracotomies undertaken for hemo- and aerostatic indications.
