Outcomes of mobilization in the first hour following uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for primary spontaneous pneumothorax.

Introduction: Although primary spontaneous pneumothorax is a common disease in young adults, each thoracic surgery department performs different procedures for its management.

Aim: The optimal time of postoperative mobilization is not yet standardized in lung surgery.

Material And Methods: This study included male patients with a primary spontaneous pneumothorax who underwent wedge resection of the upper lobe of the lungs via uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Effects of mobilization within the first 4 h following anatomical lung resection with thoracotomy.

Thoracic incisions are very painful and complicated incisions. Many analgesic drugs including opioids are used to relieve pain in patients. We hypothesized that early mobilization and patient-centered strategy after lung resection reduce the incidence of perioperative complications and postoperative pain.
