Minimally invasive surgery for lung cancer mainly refers to thoracoscopic surgery. If a single or double-port lumpectomy is performed, the body can generally recover in 5-7 days, depending on the site of surgery and the volume of lung tissue removed. However, it does not mean that all pain after minimally invasive surgery will be completely eliminated. Patients who have undergone minimally invasive lung cancer surgery will still have some mild pain for months or even years, which is a complication that cannot be avoided.
