unexpectedly, no difference in 6MWT was found between the groups. This may be
due to a rather large amount of missing data, but also because patients felt that pain around the
wound was limiting their ability to walk at a fast pace. The 6MWT was found to be feasible in
patients who underwent cardiac surgery [21]. To the authors’ knowledge, no studies have
been performed regarding the feasibility of the 6MWT shortly after major abdominal surgery.
Based on the observations in the study population, it may be that another physical fitness measure, such as a cycling test, provides better insight into physical fitness level at discharge,
without stressing the wound. Further research on this topic is recommended.
