Official Title: Evaluation of Respiratory Muscle Strength, Diaphragmatic Thickness and Functional Exercise Capacity in Lobectomy Surgeries With Thoracotomy and VATS

Brief Summary: The most commonly treatment for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is lobectomy. Different surgical interventions during lobectomy are thought to have different effects on respiratory functions and exercise capacities. The aim of this study was to evaluate respiratory muscle strength, functional exercise capacity, and diaphragmatic thickness in groups that underwent lobectomy with standard thoracotomy, muscle sparing thoracotomy, and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).
