Nowadays, more and more patients are undergoing minimally invasive surgery for pulmonary nodules. After these patients have undergone the surgery, we tell them that they can go to the floor, eat and drink on the second day after the surgery; even in 3-4 days, they can usually remove the chest tube and go to the floor. Therefore, after minimally invasive surgery, patients with pulmonary nodules can recover relatively quickly and are usually discharged from the hospital after 5-6 days; they can go back home for a rest and are usually advised to go to work in about 2 weeks. Patients with pulmonary nodules will show significant improvement after 3 months of surgery, and after 3 months, they will be able to climb mountains, wade in water, and travel without too much problem.
