Robotic Heart Surgery
Robotic heart surgery is the latest advance in trying to measure open heart surgical procedures to the category of minimally invasive surgery – that is, to minimize the extent and the trauma of cardiac surgery as much as possible.
Most minimally invasive surgery is performed by passing an endoscope (a short tube containing an advanced optical system) through a slight incision. Surgical instruments are then cross either through the endoscope tube itself, or through an additional slight incision. While envision the surgical field through the endoscope, the surgeon manipulates the surgical instruments to complete the operation.
This type of surgery is beneficial because of:-
- Lower risk of infection
- Fewer medications
- Quicker recovery
- Shorter hospital stay
