Fig 3 Postoperative loss in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) of patients with pneumonia and patients without pneumonia as measured on postoperative days 2 and 4. Statistically significant differences are marked with an asterisk (*).

Fig 5 Postoperative courses of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) depending on extent and modality of resection—open (dotted line), uniportal (dashed line), or video-assisted thoracic surgery (solid line)—patients with pneumonia excluded. (A) Segmentectomy. (B) Lobectomy. (C) Pneumonectomy. (POD = postoperative day; Pre-Op = preoperative; VATS = video-assisted thoracic surgery.)
