HCG Suchirayu Hospital in Hubballi has achieved a significant milestone by successfully completing nearly 100 Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) procedures. This advancement brings sophisticated cardiac care to North Karnataka. MICS involves smaller incisions, leading to reduced tissue damage, less blood loss, and minimal scarring.
These minimally invasive techniques are applicable for various procedures, including coronary artery bypass grafting and valve replacements. They facilitate a quicker recovery and an earlier return to normal activities for appropriately selected patients. However, the surgical team emphasizes that not all patients are candidates, with factors like age and health being crucial in decision-making.
The hospital initiated MICS in 2019, with the frequency and success rate of these surgeries increasing substantially over the years. The success rate currently stands at an impressive 99%. Specialized anesthesia and peri-operative management are vital for the success of MICS, contributing to faster patient recovery and reduced intensive care unit stays.
