Introduction to Modern Cardiac Surgery Techniques

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of mortality globally. At Livasa Hospitals, located in the heart of Amritsar, we specialize in innovative and less invasive cardiac surgery techniques that bring hope and healing to our patients. With advancements in medical technology, more and more hospitals in Punjab and across the globe are embracing minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS), a cutting-edge technique attracting widespread recognition.

This blog aims to provide insights into the state-of-the-art cardiac procedures offered at Livasa Amritsar. By doing so, we hope to empower patients with knowledge, easing their decision-making process when considering heart surgery.

Understanding Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS), often referred to as keyhole heart surgery, is a revolutionary surgical approach that operates without requiring a full sternotomy—meaning it doesn’t necessitate opening the entire chest. Instead, the surgeons perform the intricate work through small incisions, usually between 2 to 3 inches long, using specialized instruments and high-definition cameras.

At Livasa Amritsar, these advanced minimally invasive heart surgeries have allowed patients to enjoy faster recovery times, reduced pain, and smaller scars compared to traditional open-heart surgery.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery at Livasa Amritsar

Advancements in modern cardiac techniques have drastically improved patient outcomes. Here’s why patients in Amritsar and beyond are opting for this less invasive approach:

• Reduced Trauma: By avoiding a full chest opening, we minimize tissue trauma, enabling faster recovery.
• Shorter Hospital Stays: Patients can return home sooner, often within weeks, rather than extended hospital stays that are common with conventional surgery.
• Less Pain and Lower Risk: Smaller incisions mean less pain post-surgery and significantly reduce infection risks.
• Cosmetically Pleasing: Smaller scars are less visible, providing a significant psychological benefit, especially for younger patients.

Types of Heart Conditions Treated with Minimally Invasive Techniques

The array of cardiovascular conditions that can be effectively managed using minimally invasive techniques at our hospital includes:

• Valve Repair and Replacement: Addressing issues such as mitral valve prolapse or stenosis.
• Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): An innovative approach that provides relief from coronary artery disease.
• Atrial Septal Defects (ASD): Repairing congenital heart conditions with precision.
• Cardiac Tumors: Removing tumors without extensively invasive procedures.
