Abstract
Two young female patients presented with clinical findings of catamenial pneumothorax and thoracic endometriosis syndrome. Despite attempts at conservative management, thoracoscopic pleurodesis, and hormonal therapy, both women experienced recurrent pneumothoraces coincident with menses. Each patient subsequently underwent robotic-assisted mechanical pleurectomy and diaphragm reconstruction with durable results.
