Regarding you query about relevance of breathing exercise,
Immediately after the surgery patient is encourage to turn, cough, and take deep breaths frequently. These help to decrease the pain. This is to prevent lung problems like pneumonia by strengthening lungs and
b. slowly inhaled as deep as possible help to re-expand lungs.
