Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The patients were followed from the preoperative period until discharge. For each patient, age, gender, weight and height measurements, educational status, type of surgery, whether there is any additional systemic disease, smoking, alcohol habits, medications they constantly use, previous operations, postoperative complications, surgical procedure, duration of operation, duration of anesthesia, Chest tube incision time and hospital stay were recorded.
The G\*power sample size calculator was used to determine the sample size of the study. A sample size of 35 subjects for each group was estimated, assuming sample size, 0.05 type I error rate (α) and 90% power (1-α). A total of 88 patients were included to avoid possible loss or exclusion. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS version 23 statistical software program (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). In the comparisons between the two groups, Student's t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used. Chi-square test (Fisher exact test, 2-tailed) was used to compare categorical variables. Two-way analysis of variance was used in repeated measures to evaluate the change over time of the measured variables of the treatment and control groups and the group-time interactions.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Conventional Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation
A training will be given including information about the postoperative recovery process, the purpose of respiratory physiotherapy and rehabilitation, the importance of physiotherapy and rehabilitation in the postoperative period, attention to speed up recovery and prevention of complications, breathing exercises, coughing training, posture exercises, early mobilization and its importance, and answering patient questions.The program includes progressive ambulation and progressive shoulder and rib cage exercises. These exercises will be performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist from the first postoperative day. The exercises will be advanced every day by increasing the number of repetitions.
No interventions assigned to this group
Kinesiology taping
On the postoperative 0th day, kinesiology taping was applied to the patients in the study group whose hemodynamic status was stable after extubation by an expert physiotherapist. All tapes were applied by the same physiotherapist on clean and shaved skin (if necessary). Investigators applied kinesiology taping as described below:
1. In order to stimulate the facilitation of the diaphragmatic function, a 5 cm wide kinesiological tape was applied on the skin.
2. Taping was applied to the latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior muscles, which were cut during the thoracotomy.
3. In addition, kinesiology taping can be performed on the trigger pain point of the patient (usually above the pectoralis major).
The kinesiology tape can stay for 3-4 days if the patient does not develop any discomfort. After 3-4 days, the tape was renewed. Thus, taping was done twice for each patient. The bands were removed at 1 week postoperatively.
