Abstract

Purpose: Muscle strength and functional capacity of patients undergone oncological surgery is reduced. It was aimed to compare respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity of patients who underwent oncological surgery before and after surgery.Methods:Thirty-two individuals(21 females, 11 males, age=44.94±14.69 years)who underwent oncological surgery were included in the study. Eleven patients diagnosed with breast cancer,three with stomach cancer,eight colon cancer,six pancreatic cancer and four with liver cancer. Respiratory muscle strengths of individuals were evaluated with mouth pressure measurement device. Functional capacity was measured with 6MWT,5SST and TUG.Results:In the preop evaluation of individuals, MIP value was 63.28±22.98cmH2O,MEP value was 80.97±27.25cmH2O. On the postop day2,MIP value was 43.06±16.16cmH2O, and MEP value was found 59.00±16.16cmH2O. In the preop evaluation, measurement of 6MWT distance was 444.13±80.65m, 192.63±144.02 m on the postop day 2,5SST duration was 10.45±2.78s on preop period and 23.11±7.34s on postop day2,TUG duration was found 6.14±1.78s in preop evaluation and 7.82±6.11s on the second postop day2.In patients who underwent different oncological surgery, there was a significant difference between MIP and MEP values,6MWT distance and 5SST times (p
