A member asked:
If i ve a lung keyhole surgery [3 sides], & wedge is taken for testing, will this heal as before, or will it cause permananent inner damage or a hole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heal well: You had a wedge biopsy. This will heal well and you will have less pain. The area should heal well. Both open operations a key hole do heal according to your healthy diet and exercise. The biopsy results may take awhile because the pathologist looks at them.
