Fig 1 Postoperative lung function according to postoperative ipsilateral diaphragmatic motion. Patients with preserved diaphragmatic function had less alteration in postoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) than patients with abnormal diaphragm motion. There was, however, no difference in FEV1 between patients with immobile diaphragm and patients whose diaphragm had a paradoxical motion. Comparisons among means were performed using analysis of variance followed by Fisher's PLSD test. (PLSD = procedure of least significant difference.)
