What is Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
Dr. Chiran Babu, Senior Consultant Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeon at Kauvery Hospitals Bangalore, discusses the benefits of minimally invasive cardiac surgeries. Unlike conventional heart surgeries that require cutting the breastbone, minimally invasive techniques involve partial or no cutting of the sternum, reducing pain, recovery time, and the risk of complications. Dr. Babu explains how advancements now allow surgeries like valve repairs, bypass surgeries, and atrial fibrillation treatments to be performed through smaller incisions. He emphasizes that this approach leads to faster recovery and less hospital stay, with many patients returning to work in just 4 weeks.
