Nearly 100 minimally invasive cardiac surgeries at HCG Suchirayu Hospital
The Hubballi medical facility has been providing advanced cardiac care in North Karnataka
HCG Suchirayu Hospital in Hubballi has performed nearly 100 minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) procedures, marking a significant advancement in cardiac care in North Karnataka. Senior Consultant, Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeon Sharan Hallad highlighted the benefits of MICS, which involve smaller incisions that reduce tissue damage, blood loss, and scarring.
These procedures can be used for various cardiac surgeries, including coronary artery bypass grafting, valve replacement, and the correction of congenital heart defects. Dr. Hallad emphasized that not every patient is a candidate for MICS, as factors such as age, overall health, disease severity, and cardiac anatomy are considered by the surgical team.
The hospital has been performing MICS since 2019, with a success rate of up to 99%, and potential benefits include shorter hospitalization, reduced scarring, and faster recovery.
