Patients from test group \(T\) were submitted to PSPP, while those from control group \(C\) were not. Initially patients had performed spirometry, six\-minute walk test \(6MWT\) and evaluation of anxiety. The same tests were repeated a day before the operation and on the 4\-9th and 21\-23th day after the operation. Additionally spirometry was performed on the 1st and 3rdday after the operation. A level of pain measured by visual analogue scale \(VAS\) was also assessed on the 1st , 3rd, 4\-9th and 21\-23th day after the operation.Results In group T 6MWT distance was considerably longer than in group C on the 4\-9th and 21\-23th day after surgery. In group C bigger dyspnea \(p=0.049\) and weariness \(p<0001\) after exercise during post\-operative period were observed. In group T a test for homogeneity \(p<0.005\) revealed less intensive post\-operative pain . In group T a lower level of fear before the operation \(p=0.0019\), a lower post\-operative complication rate and shorter time of hospitalization was noticed \(p=0.0495\).Conclusions After this study the PSPP improves endurance during exercise, relieves post\-operative pain and level of fear before the operation, reduces number of post\-operative complications and time of hospitalization. The significant improvement of respiratory parameters wasn’t observed."]
