This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Background:
There has been an increase in the number of patients with lung cancer who had previously contracted SARS-CoV-2 and currently require surgery. This study was to share the early postoperative outcomes in patients who underwent radical lung cancer surgery after early recovery of COVID-19 infection. Methods We retrospectively collected data for 99 patients who had undergone lung cancer surgery in our hospital during January 2022 and January 2023 (including the peak of the COVID-19 crisis). The patients were divided into two groups according to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. One of these included individuals with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Perioperative and follow-up data at 30-day and 90-day were recorded. Results There were no statistical differences between groups (p > 0.05) in terms of their postoperative complications or 30-day and 90-day postoperative readmission rates. However, there were significant differences between groups (p < 0.05) in terms of their tumor sizes, pathological stages, total drainage volumes, drainage diversion times, and hospital stays. Conclusions The results of the present trial suggested that it is safe to implement radical curative lung cancer surgery in patients without pulmonary impairment and in the early stages (2–4 weeks) of recovery from SARS-CoV-2 infection.
