Neglecting heart issues can lead to critical conditions like heart attacks or heart failure, which can be life-threatening if left untreated. In situations where medication alone cannot resolve heart-related issues, heart surgery becomes a necessary and urgent option. This is where Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS), often synonymous with Keyhole Surgery, emerges as a cutting-edge technique in the realm of heart surgeries.
As its name suggests, MICS or Keyhole Surgery is characterised by its minimally invasive nature. This technique involves using a select number of specialised instruments and a camera, which are inserted into the chest via small incisions comparable in size to keyholes. In certain MICS procedures, it might also be necessary to temporarily bypass the heart and lungs. This approach is extremely advantageous for a variety of heart conditions, providing surgeons with a more convenient and effective method for treating diverse cardiac issues.

The post-operative phase following Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) is a vital aspect of the patient’s journey towards recovery. At HCG Hospitals, patients receive meticulous care in our state-of-the-art Intensive Care Unit (ICU) immediately after surgery. This critical period involves close monitoring for any signs of complications. The duration of the ICU stay and subsequent hospitalization depends on the individual’s response to the surgery and the complexity of the procedure. Following ICU discharge, patients continue to receive specialized care, including pain management, physical therapy, and regular medical evaluations, to ensure a smooth and effective recovery.
Before proceeding with MICS, patients undergo a thorough evaluation process at HCG Hospitals. This comprehensive assessment includes a detailed review of the patient’s medical history, physical examinations, and a series of diagnostic tests to ascertain the suitability of MICS. Factors such as the patient’s overall health, the nature and severity of the heart condition, and any existing medical conditions are carefully considered. Our dedicated team is committed to determining the safest and most effective surgical approach for each patient, ensuring that MICS is the best option for their specific cardiac needs.
