Minimally invasive lung cancer incisions can return to normal in about 2 weeks, and some of them heal slower and need to change dressings on time. Minimally invasive surgery for lung cancer is nowadays a gradually common surgical method, because it is less damaging to patients and often results in faster recovery. The incision of minimally invasive lung cancer surgery is intercostal incision on chest wall, which goes directly to the chest cavity, and the recovery time is relatively slow, and most of the patients can return to normal in about 2 weeks. During this period, patients need to change dressings regularly to assess the healing of the incision, and some patients with poor healing need timely local treatment. Some patients will have indwelling drains in the minimally invasive incisions, and these patients will recover more slowly due to localized friction from the drains, so it is important to change the dressings on a regular basis.
