Pulmonary nodules can be treated with minimally invasive surgery, which is usually performed by thoracoscopic minimally invasive surgery. The advantage of minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery is that it is relatively less invasive and quicker to recover. Generally, only 1-3 small holes are needed in the chest wall to complete the surgery. The operation time is shorter, the bleeding during the operation is less, the operation is less traumatic to the body, and the postoperative wound pain is very mild compared to open surgery, and the recovery is usually possible within a week after the operation. Of course, minimally invasive surgery for pulmonary nodules can be painful and may require a longer recovery time if there is prolonged intercostal neuralgia from the surgery. During this time patients need to relax, avoid high levels of tension and anxiety, adjust their routine and ensure adequate sleep, and will generally recover quickly.
