How long does it take to remove the stitches after lung nodule surgery depends on the patient’s physical condition, surgical effect and other factors, generally speaking, most of the patients’ stitches removal time is about one week to ten days. Lung nodule surgery is usually thoracoscopic lung wedge resection, this surgery is less invasive, side effects, so the removal of stitches is shorter, in 7-10 days, if the patient’s physical condition is good, the shortest time to remove stitches in about a week, because too early to remove the stitches may lead to wound disintegration and other conditions, the longest in about ten days, because the removal of stitches for too long may lead to local reaction of the stitches, with the risk of infection. Patients can consume more foods rich in fiber and protein, such as fish, shrimp, vegetables, etc., which can help patients recover the wound and promote nutrient absorption, in addition, patients should pay close attention to the wound after surgery to avoid infection and other symptoms, and when it occurs, it should be immediately consulted, and should not be negligent, so as to avoid affecting the postoperative recovery.
