@jessie1990 I don't know what the term "key hole" means. I found out that they ended up doing a wedge of my lower right lobe.
What I don't understand is putting in 6 rows of staples. He said this past visit, they removed 3 of the rows. After I left his office my brain went to: How ? When? I coughed after surgery pretty badly until they did an aspiration down my back with a tube and needle. I think they took the chest tube out too early.
