Why minimally-invasive heart surgery
In minimally-invasive heart surgery, specialists perform the procedure through small incisions made on the right side of the patient’s chest. They operate between the ribs and do not split the breast bone. This means a less painful and quicker recovery for the patient, with minimal scarring.
Minimally-invasive heart surgery offers several advantages:
- Less blood loss
- Lower risk of infection
- Reduced pain
- Shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery
- Smaller scars
