Back pain was assessed preoperative and 3 months post operative according to facial pain scale. Results: The mean preoperative Forced Expiratory Volume 1% in this study was 89.10±19.45% which significantly increased to 100.28±19.87% post-operatively (p=0.0010). Regarding Forced Vital Capacity in this study, it significantly increased from 86.22%±21.08% pre-operatively to 100.42% ±19.85% post-operatively (p
