Mitral Valve Replacement Surgery

Image
A  mitral valve replacement surgery  is used to substitute a malfunctioning heart valve with an artificial prosthetic implant. This is a major type of surgery and is most useful in treating severe medical disorders of the heart such as mitral valve stenosis and mitral valve regurgitation. This valve replacement surgery may be performed using conventional open-heart surgery method or the more modern minimally invasive surgical methods. This choice depends on several factors such as your age, overall health, activity level, prevalent medical conditions (if any) and your doctor's discretion. How is a Mitral Valve Replacement Surgery Performed? A  mitral valve replacement surgery  is a the major type of cardiac surgery and requires extensive planning and strategy to make it successful and satisfactory. Conventional open-heart surgery requires the surgeon to make a large incision along the middle of the rib cage. The surrounding organs are shifted to the sit...

Robotic Cardiac Surgery In India

Image
What is robotic cardiac surgery? Robotic-assisted surgery is a leading-edge procedure. It is minimally invasive precision of the technology. Robotic-assisted surgery is an ideal option for delicate and complex cardiac surgeries. Robotic cardiac surgery  is also called as closed-chest heart surgery. This surgery is a minimally invasive heart surgery performed by a cardiac surgeon. The cardiac surgeon uses a specially-designed computer console to control surgical instruments on thin robotic arms. With the use of tiny instruments and robotic devices, the surgeons are able to perform several types of complex surgeries in a much invasive way as compared to another type of cardiac surgeries. Robotically-assisted surgeries have changed certain traditional ways by which heart surgeries used to be performed. This technology allows the cardiac surgeons to perform complex cardiac surgeries with much smaller incisions, provides more precise motion control to the surgeon and offers th...
