%X Because of its decreased postoperative pain, shorter duration of chest insertion and consequently shorter hospital stays, reduced-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is considered a technically feasible option for many types of pulmonary surgery given recent developments in thoracoscopic instruments and techniques (1). For spontaneous pneumothorax, thoracic surgeons usually apply a reduced-port thoracoscopic approach (2,3). However, the optimum method for preventing postoperative recurrence in reduced-port thoracoscopic bullectomy remains unclear
