Pulmonary alveolar pneumothorax drainage surgery is usually discharged from the hospital in about 1 week. Pulmonary alveolar pneumothorax drainage surgery is a procedure in which a tube is inserted into the chest to drain out gas or fluid under negative pressure. This type of surgery is less invasive, safer and has a lower recurrence rate. The recovery time for patients undergoing this type of surgery is relatively quick, usually around 1 week, and the stitches can be removed and the patient can be discharged from the hospital after the wound has basically healed. However, after the surgery, patients should have regular checkups at home, pay attention to rest, and avoid heavy physical activities, exertion and breath-holding movements for a short period of time. In your daily diet, you should pay attention to supplemental nutrition, and consume sufficient protein and vitamins such as eggs, milk, fruits, etc., in order to enhance the body’s resistance to improve immunity and help the body to recover as soon as possible.
