| Popis: | Introduction: The purpose of this study was to describe the postoperative changes in lung function after pure open lobectomy for lung carcinoma. Methods: 30 patients (mean age 64 ± 7 years old, 16 men and 14 women) underwent a left or right lobectomy. They underwent spirometric pulmonary tests preoperatively, and at 1 and 6 months after the operation. Results: The average preoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) was 2.55±0.62lt and the mean postoperative FEV1 at 1 and 6 months was 1.97 ± 0.59 L and 2.15±0.66 L respectively. The percentage losses for FEV1 were 22.7% and 15.4% after 1 and 6 months respectively. An average percentage increase of 9.4% for FEV1 was estimated at the time of 6 months in comparison with this of 1 month after the operation. The average preoperative forced vital capacity (FVC) was 3.17 ± 0.81 L and the mean postoperative FVC at 1 and 6 months after the operation was 2.50 ± 0.63 L and 2.72 ± 0.67 L respectively. The percentage losses for FVC were 21.1% and 14.2% after 1 and 6 months respectively. An average percentage increase of 8.7% was observed at the time period of 6 months in comparison with this of 1 month after the operation. Conclusion: Although, we observed a significant decrease in FEV1 and FVC after the operation, all patients were in excellent clinical status. FEV1 and FVC of 6 months were increased in comparison with the respective values of 1 month after the operation, but did not reach the preoperative values in any patient. |
