    Objective: To systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of respiratory physiotherapy in postoperative patients who have undergone thoracic surgery. Materials and methods: Among the 10 articles systematically reviewed on the effectiveness of respiratory physiotherapy in preventing pulmonary complications in postoperative thoracic surgery patients, high-quality and high-strength articles were selected from Scielo, PubMed, and Dynaed, all within the healthcare field. The studies include systematic reviews (20% - 2/10), randomized clinical trials (50% - 5/10), quasi-experimental studies (10% - 1/10), cohort studies (10% - 1/10), and case-control studies (10% - 1/10). These studies were conducted in Spain (30%), Australia (20%), Italy (10%), Japan (10%), Iran (10%), the United Kingdom (10%), and Sweden (10%). Results: The review of these scientific articles shows that 80% of them support the effectiveness of respiratory physiotherapy in postoperative thoracic surgery patients. They highlight the importance of respiratory physiotherapy and its benefits in preventing postoperative pulmonary complications, reducing hospital stays, and decreasing healthcare costs. Conclusions: 80% of the studies revealed the effectiveness of respiratory physiotherapy through respiratory training exercises, which reduce the presence of pulmonary complications in postoperative thoracic surgery patients. It is thus determined that respiratory exercises before and after surgery are crucial. However, 10% of the articles using incentives such as an incentive spirometer did not present significant evidence of effectiveness, and 10% indicated that respiratory physiotherapy was not necessary.
