Abstract

Pulmonary function is affected by several variables. The more marginal the patient, the more important the preoperative and perioperative assessment becomes. VATS might be tolerated well with regard to pulmonary function in the early postoperative period. It has allowed thoracic surgeons to expand surgical indications to patients that previously would not have been considered.

Pneumonectomy - adverse effects

Lung - physiopathology

Postoperative Care

Respiratory Function Tests

Humans
