Preparing for thoraco-abdominal surgery: What's in it for the physiotherapist?

CONCLUSIONS: The physiotherapist must fully participate in assessing the risk of postoperative morbidity in the context of thoraco-abdominal surgery. He must also identify the most efficient modalities within the delay imposed by the date of surgery. It is also necessary that the latter learn to identify the patient at higher risk of postoperative complications in order to adapt the preoperative management according to the levels of scientific evidence.PMID:35428557 | DOI:10.1016/j.rmr.2022.02.057
