There are more ways to perform lobectomy, including traditional open large incision, minimally invasive small incision and lumpectomy. The recovery of patients varies with different surgical approaches. If you choose minimally invasive surgical treatment, the surgical incision is small, the operation time is short, and the anesthesia time is short. This type of surgery usually results in a gradual wound recovery in about 1 week, with complete healing usually occurring in about 2 weeks; if traditional open-heart surgery is performed, the lung lobectomy can generally return to normal in about 1 month after surgery and can engage in general physical activities after 3 months. In addition, usually the better the patient’s own physical condition and the higher the quality of the lungs, the faster the recovery time; if the patient’s underlying condition is poor and the quality of the lobes is poor, the recovery time is relatively slow. In addition, patients after lobectomy should pay attention to a light diet, avoid the intake of spicy and stimulating foods, avoid the stimulation of smoking and alcohol, pay attention to warmth, avoid getting cold, and prevent respiratory tract infections. At the same time, proper rehabilitation of respiratory function is needed to gradually improve lung function.
