Nearly 100 minimally invasive cardiac surgeries at HCG Suchirayu Hospital
HCG Suchirayu Hospital in Hubballi has successfully performed nearly 100 minimally invasive cardiac surgeries (MICS). Surgeons note that this approach offers patients faster recovery times and reduced scarring compared to traditional methods.
Why it matters
The adoption of MICS in regional hospitals improves access to advanced, less traumatic medical procedures for cardiac patients in North Karnataka.
HCG Suchirayu Hospital in Hubballi has performed nearly 100 minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) procedures, thus providing advanced cardiac care in North Karnataka.
Addressing a press conference in Hubballi on Thursday, Senior Consultant, Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeon of HCG Suchirayu Hospital Sharan Hallad said that MICS represents an important advancement in cardiac surgery with smaller incisions helping reduce tissue damage, blood loss and scarring.
“MICS can be used for a range of procedures, including coronary artery bypass grafting, valve replacement, correction of selected congenital heart defects and removal of heart tumours. In appropriately selected patients, minimally invasive approaches can facilitate faster recovery and an earlier return to routine activities,” Dr. Hallad said.
He stressed that not every patient will be a candidate for MICS. Age, overall health, severity of the disease and the patient’s cardiac anatomy are among the factors assessed by the surgical team before deciding on the approach.
