Minimally Invasive and Robotic Cardiac Surgery A Safer, Faster Way to Treat Heart Disease
THE WEEK India
|February 01, 2026
Heart surgery has traditionally been associated with large chest cuts, long hospital stays, and prolonged recovery. However, with advances in medical technology, Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) and robotic-assisted cardiac surgery are changing the way heart conditions are treated, offering patients safer procedures with quicker recovery and less discomfort.
-
Unlike conventional open-heart surgery, which requires opening the chest bone, minimally invasive cardiac surgery is performed through small incisions made between the ribs. Robotic-assisted surgery takes this approach a step further by using advanced robotic systems that provide surgeons with a magnified 3D view of the heart and extremely precise instrument control. These techniques are now being successfully used for procedures such as heart valve repair and replacement, coronary bypass surgery, and selected complex cardiac conditions.

Untested software testing democracy
For the first time in the history of India's flawed yet universally acclaimed democratic process, crores of verified existing voters have been put at risk of systemic disfranchisement— ironically by the very body responsible for guaranteeing free and fair elections. And shockingly by untested software used to further “cleanse” a voter roll which has just been verified already!
