Can diabetic patients undergo minimally invasive lung surgery?

Diabetic patients can generally undergo minimally invasive lung surgery, depending on their individual conditions and the recommendation of their doctor. If a patient's blood sugar is not well controlled or if there are complications present, minimally invasive lung surgery is generally not recommended. It is advised to seek timely medical attention and receive treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician.

If a diabetic patient's blood sugar is well controlled, there are no severe complications such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, or retinopathy, and cardiopulmonary function is normal, minimally invasive lung surgery can be performed following adequate preoperative preparation and blood sugar management.

If a diabetic patient has poor blood sugar control or other severe complications, minimally invasive lung surgery is typically not recommended. A hyperglycemic state increases the risk of surgery, such as infections and bleeding, while severe complications may make the surgery even more dangerous. Patients should first control their blood sugar and treat complications, considering surgery only after their condition stabilizes.

Prior to deciding on surgery, patients should consult with a specialist physician and undergo a comprehensive evaluation. Additionally, patients should follow medical advice for adequate preparation and care before and after surgery.
