Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally invasive procedures are performed through small incisions using specialized surgical instruments. The incision used for minimally invasive heart surgery is about 3 to 4 inches instead of the 6 to 8 inch incision required for traditional surgery. The benefits of minimally invasive surgery techniques may include:
-
- A smaller incision
- A smaller scar
- Decreased risk of infection
- Less bleeding
- Less trauma
- Less pain
- Decrease in the length of stay in the hospital after surgery
- Decreased recovery time
