After surgery for pulmonary pustules, you can usually be discharged from the hospital in a week if things go well, but recovery may take another 1 to 3 months. Pulmonary pustules are air-containing cystic cavities larger than 1 cm formed in the lung tissue due to the pressure inside the alveolar cavities rising, the alveolar walls rupturing, and small alveoli fusing with each other, which can become more and more serious in the later stages, and may rupture at any time to form a pneumothorax, resulting in respiratory distress or even life-threatening conditions. Most people can be discharged from the hospital one week after the surgery, but the recovery time needs to be analyzed according to their underlying conditions such as age, underlying diseases, and the severity of the disease. In general, most patients with a good physical foundation, no underlying disease, and no postoperative complications such as bleeding or infection can recover one month after surgery. If preoperative pulmonary function is low, older, more underlying diseases, need to strengthen the nutrition, as early as possible lung function rehabilitation exercise, to prevent complications, want to fully recover, it may take about 3 months.
