How long does it take to recover after minimally invasive lung surgery

  The recovery time after minimally invasive lung surgery is related to the patient’s disease and cannot be generalized.  In general, minimally invasive lung surgery is mainly aimed at lung lesions, and the lung is removed through minimally invasive thoracoscopy to remove the occupying lesions in the lung, such as inflammatory masses, or to take biopsies of the occupying lung lesions for pathological examination. In the case of lobectomy, recovery is usually gradual about 1 week after surgery. In the case of lobectomy, the surgery is usually more traumatic and the recovery time is relatively slow, but the patient can get out of bed on the first day after surgery and can basically take care of himself two days after surgery.  In addition, patients should also pay attention to breathing exercises after surgery to recover lung function as soon as possible.
