Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery

Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery at Manipal Hospital Mukundapur

Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery is the new-age minimally invasive surgical procedure adopted for treating complex cardiac procedures. While open heart surgeries have been successfully performed worldwide for decades, it requires cutting open the chest cavity to gain access to the heart and major blood vessels. Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery, on the other hand, is performed with smaller incisions, resulting in lesser blood loss, reduced trauma and better patient outcomes. 

Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery encompasses a number of minimally invasive procedures, including Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), valve repair and replacement, closure of congenital defects such as atrial or septal defect, and removal of cardiac tumours. 

Benefits of Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery

Endoscopic cardiac surgery is cosmetically superior to open heart, and even robotic surgeries. Unlike open heart surgeries, which require opening up the chest cavity entirely, endoscopic cardiac surgery is performed using small, keyhole incisions using 5 mm and 10 mm ports, along with a 4K endoscopic camera and other specialised instruments. This causes significantly less trauma to the body, resulting in faster recovery of the patient. This is the reason why endoscopic cardiac surgery is more sought-out for elderly patients, or those who are unfit for open heart procedures. 

Endoscopic cardiac surgery poses clear advantages for patients in terms of pain control, recovery, and cosmetic outcome. It significantly reduces post-operative pain, thereby allowing patients to return to their normal life in a short amount of time. 

How is Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery better than Robotic Cardiac Surgery? 

Robotic Surgery is an advanced surgical procedure where a surgeon conducts a surgery using robotic arms. It also uses a 3D imaging technology for thorough precision and guidance during surgery. However, robotic surgery has limitations, such as high cost, lack of patient-surgeon contact and absence of additional surgeons during the procedure. Therefore, despite improved surgical outcomes, robotic surgery is not suitable for every patient. Port size for robotic CS in 8mm & 12 mm.

Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery, on the other hand, is an advanced, minimally-invasive protocol that combines technological advancement and surgical precision. It also uses advanced 3D imaging, providing surgeons with enhanced, high-resolution perception during operations. Other than being comparatively more cost-effective, it allows for direct patient-surgeon contact during the procedure. 

Cosmetically it is superior to robotic surgery as port size is 5 mm.

Overall, it combines surgical safety with improved comfort and quality of life, making heart surgery far less intimidating.

FAQ's

Ans. In some endoscopic procedures, like valve repairs, the heart may be temporarily stopped whereas other procedures, such as bypass surgeries, can be performed on a beating heart. 

Ans. In some endoscopic procedures, like valve repairs, the heart may be temporarily stopped whereas other procedures, such as bypass surgeries, can be performed on a beating heart. 

Endoscopic cardiac surgery usually requires one lung to be deflated temporarily during the procedure. Therefore, lung function is an important parameter to determine eligibility of the patient. 

A heart-lung machine is used to help pump blood in the body and supply it with oxygen. 

While overall health status, including age, is an essential factor in determining eligibility, the procedure is often suitable for some elderly patients and others for whom open heart surgery might be risky. 

Pain from endoscopic surgery mainly arises from the small incisions made on the ribs for the procedure. This pain reduces significantly faster than that of open heart surgery, where the sternum is often divided to gain access to the heart, leading to a longer recovery period following open heart surgery.
