This prospective, single-arm interventional study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured postoperative pulmonary physiotherapy program delivered by the research team in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. The intervention consists of chest physiotherapy, bronchial hygiene techniques, early mobilization, and postural exercises applied under physiotherapist supervision during the postoperative hospital stay. The primary outcome is length of hospital stay. Secondary outcomes include blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, fatigue, and dyspnea levels. Clinical outcomes will be analyzed according to age groups (45-59 years and 60-90 years) to determine potential age-related differences in response to the intervention.
