JAMMU, Jan 2: Minimum Invasive Cardiac Surgery is now available at Amandeep Medicity, Amritsar.
Compared to the usual process of surgery, in the Minimal Invasive Cardiac Surgery, a 2-3 inch incision is done on the patient for the surgery. Rather than from the middle, the side of the chest is chosen. Getting between the ribs becomes easy this way, and no bones are broken. This reduces the pain and recovery time in the patient. The blood loss is also minimal as long cuts aren’t made in the procedure.
The main attraction to the procedure is because of the advantages that it brings in the life of the patients. Before a decade, a heart surgery would have been seen as a huge procedure, but advancement in the procedures has led to betterment in the field. Now, it is a matter of days before someone can do everything normally after going under the surgery.
The small cut and quick healing time diminish chances of the occurrence of any infection. The blood loss is minimal, and need of blood transfusions lessen. The patient can leave the hospital after 3 to 5 days. The recovery is quick and almost immediate. They can get back to their normal lives in 10 days. The pain and discomfort are quite less when compared to the usual open heart surgeries.
The advantages of the procedure certainly reflect upon the need to make it more common. The only factor that one can think about is the cost that it garners. But the quick recovery and the health benefits can override the small factors.
Dr Swarup Swaraj Pal, Head, Cardiothoracic Vascular Surgeon at Amandeep Medicity, Amritsar, said that recently a young guy Mukesh Kumjar (name changed) with a deep penetrating injury to the neck was operated successfully and after operation, he is now fine and is able to carry all his activities.
