Résumé
Pulmonary function following lung wedge resection is not fully understood. This study aimed to assess the influence of wedge resection upon postoperative pulmonary function. We retrospectively evaluated pulmonary function at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively in 29 patients who underwent lung wedge resection. The values of the pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were compared among the time points using a paired The vital capacity (VC) values before surgery and at 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively were 2,994±793, 2,845±799, 2,941±801, and 2,964±839 mL, respectively. The VC decreased at 3 months postoperatively (P=0.002) and recovered by 6 and 12 months postoperatively (P=0.003 and 0.003, respectively). The VC values at 6 and 12 months postoperatively did not significantly differ from that before surgery (P=0.152 and 0.361, respectively). The forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV The postoperative VC decreased temporarily but recovered to near the preoperative level after 12 months. We concluded that the loss of VC following lung wedge resection is minimal. These findings are beneficial for planning surgery and explaining the procedure to patients who are undergoing lung wedge resection.

The postoperative VC decreased temporarily but recovered to near the preoperative level after 12 months. We concluded that the loss of VC following lung wedge resection is minimal. These findings are beneficial for planning surgery and explaining the procedure to patients who are undergoing lung wedge resection.
