Significance of Early Mobilization After VATS-L

Physiological Evidence for Early Mobilization in Thoracoscopic Lobectomy

The main endpoint is physiological rehabilitation after VATS-L under early mobilization. The secondary endpoints are exploring the effect of early mobilization on postoperative physiology.

Investigators hypothesis that early mobilization is clearly advantaged to advance the physiological recovery.
