Minimally Invasive and Robotic Cardiac Surgery A Safer, Faster Way to Treat Heart Disease

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.
