pneumonectomy
This document describes the procedure of pneumonectomy and the role of physiotherapy both before and after the surgery. Pneumonectomy involves complete removal of a lung, usually done to treat lung cancer, infections, or other lung diseases. Physiotherapy before surgery focuses on teaching exercises and breathing techniques to prepare the patient. After surgery, physiotherapy aims to clear secretions, expand the remaining lung, prevent complications, and restore movement and exercise tolerance through a gradual recovery program over 2-3 weeks before discharge.
