NCT ID NCT07192575
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a short program of breathing exercises—done for 7 days before and 7 days after laparoscopic liver surgery—can reduce lung complications like pneumonia or collapsed lungs. About 364 patients will be randomly assigned to either the breathing exercise group or standard care. The goal is to see if this easy, low-cost approach can prevent serious lung issues and shorten hospital stays.

Active substance
pulmonary physiotherapy (breathing exercises)
What this could lead to
If it works, this simple breathing exercise program could become a standard way to prevent lung complications after laparoscopic liver surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial. The exercises may not reduce complications significantly, and results may not apply to all patients or hospitals.
