Patient: 25 days after lobectomy of right upper lung nodule (tuberculous), encapsulated effusion in right upper lung,, pleural adhesions in right lower lung, no drainage. It is now 2 months after surgery. What will happen if the adhesions persist now? What will happen if the right upper lung that was puffed up comes down again? I’m sorry for your trouble, thank you! Hospital Hospital: Hello, there can be fluid in the chest cavity after surgery, as long as there is no fever and no obvious symptoms, it can be left untreated and wait for absorption, during which respiratory function exercises should be done to promote the expansion of the remaining lungs.
