minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery

Minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery involves performing heart and chest procedures through small incisions instead of large open cuts. Using advanced tools and cameras, surgeons can diagnose and treat conditions like valve problems, coronary artery disease, or lung issues with less pain, shorter recovery times, and reduced risk of complications. This approach often results in less trauma to the body, faster return to daily activities, and minimized scarring, making it a preferred option when appropriate for suitable patients.
