INTRODUCTION:
Abdominal surgery is a wide term used in surgical procedures in abdominal
countries .[2]
Abdominal surgery can be divided according to the location and length of the
above the umbilicus and lower abdominal surgery (LAS) involves incisions below the
combination of both.[2]
The incisions used for exploring the abdominal cavity can be classified as :[3]

and proper measures should be taken to prevent pulmonary complication. Risk factors
for the development of PPCs include duration of anesthesia, current smoking status

operation.[4]
clinically relevant and adversely affects the clinical course. This umbrella term
are affected due to the anesthetic effect, site of the surgical incision reduced physical

anesthesia and peri-operative drugs affect breathing regulation by altering neural
hypoxemia and an increase in respiratory rate.[9] Due to reflex inhibition of the phrenic
nerve and nerve innervating abdominal muscles, surgical incisions near the diaphragm
and abdominal muscles cause postoperative pain and limit respiratory movement.
Similarly, the length of the incision has an additional effect on the development of
PPC, as the peritoneal area near the abdominal viscera is severely affected as the
length of the incision increases. As a result, open abdominal surgery has a higher rate

living and function. Physiotherapy interventions after major surgery include early

5. A Study “Physiotherapy in upper abdominal surgery - what is current practice
in Australia?” conducted by Patman S et.at. in Australia.This study concluded
that This study found that most Australian physiotherapists are mobilising
their patients away from the bedside early in the post-operative period
following UAS, with many continuing to also incorporate routine respiratory
interventions. The interventions currently implemented by physiotherapists
for patients post-UAS are reflective of the guidelines from Hanekom
et.al.However, more recent evidence emphasises the use of early
mobilisation as a standalone treatment , which was not yet reflected in
current practice. The variability of screening tools used amongst clinicians to
identify high-risk patients post-operatively was reflective of the scarce
amount of validated evidence available to physiotherapists.
