Preoperative Exercise Training Decreases Complications of Minimally Invasive Lung Cancer Surgery- A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Limited evidence exists regarding the efficacy of preoperative exercise (PE) in reducing short-term complications after minimally invasive surgery in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aims to investigate the impact of PE on short-term complications following minimally invasive lung resection. ⋯ Preoperative exercise training decreased short-term postoperative complications in patients with NSCLC.
