1 Pulmonary function, postoperative pain, and serum cytokine level after lobectomy: a comparison of VATS and conventional procedure  Itaru Nagahiro, MD, Akio Andou, MD, Motoi Aoe, MD, Yoshifumi Sano, MD, Hiroshi Date, MD, Nobuyoshi Shimizu, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 72, Issue 2, Pages (August 2001) DOI: /S (01)

2 Fig 1 Operative approach for lobectomy and postoperative pain measured by eleven-point pain scale. Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation of the mean. ∗p less than 0.05; ∗∗p less than (POD = postoperative day; VATS = video-assisted thoracic surgery.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

3 Fig 2 Operative approach for lobectomy and interleukin-6 levels. Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation of the mean. (IL-6 = interleukin-6; POD = postoperative day; VATS = video-assisted thoracic surgery.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

4 Fig 3 Correlation between postoperative pain and pulmonary function recovery rate. Pain was measured by an 11-point pain scale. (FEV1.0 = forced expiratory volume in one second; FVC = forced vital capacity; VATS = video-assisted thoracic surgery; VC = vital capacity.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )
