| We found that the recurrences were more frequent in patients in whom no blebs or bullae were identified. |
| The appearance of numerous tiny blebs on the cellular membrane was observed. |
| These lesions can progress to larger nodules, causing the formation of blebs and consequently leading to pneumothorax. |
| Peripheral pulmonary blebs may occur when the regulated process of lung growth is altered. |
| Data recorded for all patients included the number of episodes of pneumothorax, the operative time, and the presence of blebs or bullae. |
| Thus, the resection of the bullous area has to be done with care, and the entire lung should be inspected for other blebs or bullae. |
