Abstract

A 42-year-old man had been treated for granulomatosis with polyangiitis for eight years. He was referred to our department with the diagnosis of right pneumothorax on chest radiograph. After chest drainage, the surgical treatment was performed because of continuing air leak from chest tube. Under thoracoscopic approach, the pleural adhesions were carefully dissected and the air leak site was sutured and enforced by a polyglycolic acid sheet with fibrin glue. No recurrence of pneumothorax was observed six months after surgery.
