Do you have to retest ct one month after lung nodule surgery?

Regular follow-up is required after lung nodule surgery, and it is generally recommended to review the ct one month after surgery, but it is not mandatory and can be delayed or advanced appropriately. After lung nodule surgery, in order to understand the recovery of the surgical area and the surrounding tissues, and to observe whether there is any recurrence phenomenon, it is generally recommended to review the chest ct in the first month or so after surgery. if there is no other abnormality after the review, the chest ct can be reviewed once again in the third to sixth month after surgery. after benign nodules, the regular annual follow-up can be enough, and if it is a malignant nodule, then it should be followed up once every three months. In addition to regular postoperative checkups, you should also pay attention to following the doctor’s instructions for medication, quit smoking and drinking, and maintain a good work routine to promote recovery and prevent recurrence of the disease.
