Minimal Access Cardiac Surgery
About us
Minimal Access Cardiac Surgery offers minimal access alternatives to open heart surgery. As with other surgical specialties, less invasive approaches are increasingly popular for cardiac surgery too. Since these minimal access surgeries require very high skill to be able to gain access to the heart in a number of ways, they are only carried out by a minority of surgeons. When performed on the right patients, they produce outstanding results.
The pros of minimal access techniques include faster recovery times, less pain and trauma, reduced damage to ribs, fewer and smaller scars, less trauma in more vulnerable patients and lower infection rates. Minimal Access Cardiac Surgery has onboard some of the leading consultants in the area of minimal access cardiac surgery with state-of-the-art facilities.
