After minimally invasive surgery for lung nodules, the stitches can usually be removed and discharged from the hospital in 5-7 days, and you can basically return to your normal work and life 2-3 months after the surgery. Lung nodules are one of the common lung diseases. Most of the benign nodules do not need treatment, but when the lung nodules appear to be enlarged, increase in solid component, or suspected of malignant nodules, timely surgical treatment is needed. Minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery involves making holes in the lateral chest wall and then going through the minimally invasive instruments of the thoracoscope. Therefore, the recovery from minimally invasive surgery is faster than that of normal open heart surgery. After minimally invasive surgery, if there is no underlying disease, the body recovers faster and the stitches are usually removed and discharged from the hospital in 5 to 7 days. After being discharged from the hospital, pay attention to nursing care, avoid infection, eat a light diet, eat less spicy and stimulating food, usually 2~3 months to return to normal life.
