SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Within 36hrs following surgery

For ultrasonographic evaluation if caudad movement of the hemidiaphragm was observed, the distance was measured recorded and assigned a positive (+) value. If paradoxical cephalad movement of the diaphragm was observed, the distance was given a negative value (-). Each measurement was performed 3 times and the best value was recorded.
