Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. Could you please tell me how many days after undergoing a minimally invasive pneumothorax surgery can one get out of bed?Doctor's answer:
After undergoing a minimally invasive surgery for a pulmonary bleb, patients can usually get out of bed around 4 or 5 days later. However, the main thing to pay attention to is not to engage in strenuous exercise. Instead, only light exercise should be performed, and fatigue must be avoided. If any abnormal symptoms of pain reappear, it is necessary to pay attention to rest to prevent the condition from worsening. If the patient does not have any other underlying diseases, a full recovery is usually quite fast, typically around one week.
