How to care for a patient who has undergone thoracic surgery for a left lung bulla?

Patient's question:

Left lung bleb underwent thoracic surgery and has been in the process of full recovery for 25 days. What should be noted.

Doctor's answer:

For bullae, generally, many thoracoscopic procedures are performed to remove the bullae through this method. This is generally considered a relatively simple surgery for thoracic surgery. After the surgery, since it is performed inside the chest cavity, there may be exudation, which could lead to symptoms such as difficulty breathing. Symptomatic treatment is needed, and it is important to drain the secretions as much as possible.
