Using sophisticated surgical instruments, minimally invasive cardiac surgery (also known as keyhole surgery) is conducted through small incisions (on the sides of your chest). In contrast to traditional surgery, which requires a 6 to 8 inch incision, minimally invasive cardiac surgery only requires a 2 to 3 inch incision.
Surgeons work on the heart between the ribs in this procedure, thus the breast bone is not fractured or divided for heart access. This benefits both the surgeon and the patient by providing a better view of the heart than open heart surgery and by reducing pain and ensuring a faster recovery. This procedure does not require the use of a heart-lung machine, and a device is attached to your heart to stabilize it. A minor cosmetic scar, early discharge, and mobility are the best aspects of minimally invasive cardiac surgery

Is a minimally invasive procedure the best option for me?
Technology and scientific developments are supposed to make our lives easier. It is critical for us to embrace the changes. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is a new, safe, and widely applicable technology for a variety of complex heart surgeries, such as single or multiple heart valve treatments, bypass surgery, congenital heart repairs, and reoperations. It should also be emphasized that these surgical procedures are not suitable for everyone. Before your scheduled procedure, the surgeon will analyse the findings of your diagnostic tests to see if you are a candidate for minimally invasive surgery. The surgical team will examine and contrast the benefits and drawbacks of minimally invasive vs. standard surgery approaches.
