A descriptive case series study was conducted in 178 patients that underwent immediate surgery due to spontaneous pneumothorax in the Service of General Surgery of “Miguel Enriquez” General Teaching Hospital from January lst, 1985 to December 31st, 2000 . All the cases who were admitted due to spontaneous pneumothorax (178 patients) were included in this study. According to the results, there was a prevalence of the primary type, whereas the main cause of the secondary was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease followed by tuberculosis. Males aged 30-40 were the most affected. High minimum pleurotomy was the procedure applied to every patient. The index of thoracotomies was 18 %. Complications were observed in 11.8 % of the cases, among which the infectious were the most frequent. The final result was considered as good and it was stressed the need of the existence of multidisciplinary groups for the attention and follow-up of these patients.
