General anesthesia with double-lumen endobronchial intubation is considered mandatory for thoracoscopic bullectomy. We assessed the safety and feasibility of thoracoscopic bullectomy for treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) under intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA) with spontaneou...
