Surgery of the future: minimally invasive cardiac surgery

Do you have any concerns regarding a minimally invasive surgery procedure? The term “minimally invasive” refers to any procedure that is less invasive than typical open surgery. If you or a loved one has been identified with a condition that may necessitate surgery, you can rest assured that all of our physicians have received specialty training in minimally invasive surgery procedures, and that Dr. Ashwani Bansal‘s Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery Program offers the most highly advanced minimally invasive surgery procedures.

What is Minimally Invasive Surgery?

Any surgical operation that is conducted through small incisions rather than a huge hole is referred to as minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Because your surgeon will create smaller incisions, you will likely heal faster and have less discomfort than with standard open surgery while still receiving the same advantages.

Your cardiac surgeon will make multiple small incisions in your skin, usually a few millimetres long, during minimally invasive cardiac surgery. An endoscope (a long, thin tube with a camera and light) will then be inserted into one of the incisions by your surgeon. Images from the endoscope are transmitted to operating room displays, allowing your surgeon to see crisp, enlarged images of the area requiring operation. The surgical instruments will then be inserted via the other incisions, allowing your surgeon to operate on whatever is wrong inside your body.

Minimally invasive procedures aren’t suitable for all surgeries. The removal of malignant tumours, for example, is normally achieved through traditional surgery. Traditional open surgery may take longer than minimally invasive surgery. However, the benefits of minimally invasive surgery far exceed the drawbacks.
