[Results of rehabilitation in pneumonectomy patients].
Up to now, there is in France no rehabilitation program after pneumonectomy but social security and kinesitherapy. Medical, functional and economical survey of 219 subjects operated 1 to 20 years earlier shows that, as far as return to work and psychological adaptation are concerned, these factors weight at least as much as severe respiratory insufficiency. Before setting up a program of rehabilitation one should study these factors and others that may eventually influence psychological equilibrium.
