First of all, it should be known that when performed by an experienced team, endoscopic cardiac surgery (closed cardiac operation) does not involve additional risks for the patient.<\/p>\n
Minimum incision on the skin<\/strong><\/p>\n Due to the large incisions made in open heart operations, patients end up having long (20 cm) scars, which may sometimes have a negative impact on the morale. Whereas endoscopic interventions (closed cardiac surgery) are performed through a minimum size (5-6 cm) incision. Compared to open surgery, patients leave the hospital with a smaller scar.<\/p>\n Decreased severity of pain in the post-op days<\/strong><\/p>\n Since the incision is smaller in endoscopic cardiac surgery, the tissues remain less traumatized. Therefore, the patient experiences less pain after the operation.<\/p>\n Lower infection risk<\/strong><\/p>\n Again, dur to the smaller size of the incision, the infection risk is also minimized.<\/p>\n Early discharge<\/strong><\/p>\n As the sternum is not cut and traumatized and the surgery is performed through a minimum size incision, the duration of hospitalization is very short.<\/p>\n Rapid return to daily life<\/strong><\/p>\n In the classic cardiac surgery, the sternum of the patient is cut. Therefore, certain restrictions are imposed in the first 45 days following the operation. The patients are asked not to drive, lift heavy weights, sleep on one side, have sex for 4-6 weeks. Since endoscopic surgery does not necessitate such restrictions, the patients get back to normal life sooner.<\/p>\n Robotik kalp cerrahisi i\u00e7in t\u0131klay\u0131n\u0131z!<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
