Recovery after thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery varies according to the circumstances of the surgery and individual patient differences, most of them can recover well in 3-5 days, and some patients can recover well in about 1 week. A very small number of people may have complications, and complications can lead to a longer hospital stay. The vast majority of people recover well enough to be discharged within this time frame of 3-7 days. It is generally recommended that normal work or physical labor can be performed about one month after discharge. For strenuous physical activities, which need to be avoided, it should be a little longer.
