Cardiovascular Surgery

With the developing technology in cardiac surgery, especially in the last 15 years, the number of minimally invasive methods as an alternative to classical surgical methods is increasing. By pass surgeries performed with robotic surgery, especially in recent years, provide a very important advantage in terms of patient comfort and speed of recovery.

With robotic bypass, it is possible to perform it without touching the chest with a scalpel or stopping the heart, with 3 holes opened under the armpit and a 4-cm incision made only where the ribs are located. With the camera inserted through an incision, a 3D image, 8-10 times larger and clearer, is provided. One surgeon attaches surgical instruments to the robot arms, and the other surgeon uses these instruments on the console where the camera is located.

In patients suitable for robotic surgery, coronary artery bypass surgery, mitral valve surgery, congenital heart surgery and arrhythmia surgery are performed with robots. Coronary artery bypass surgery is performed without stopping the heart or by stopping the heart (using a heart-lung machine). Mitral valve operations are performed by stopping the heart.

Returning to Normal Life in a Short Time with Robotic By Pass

As in the classic by pass, the chest area is not opened and the operation is performed without stopping the heart. With robotic bypass, the patient can return to his normal life much earlier. The infection rate and bleeding are much lower, and the patient also experiences cosmetic advantages in robotic bypass. In robotic bypass, which is performed through very small incisions, no cosmetic scars are left on the patient. In addition, the patient reaches normal physical condition faster.

Who Can Get Robotic Bypass?

In patients suitable for robotic surgery, coronary artery bypass surgery, mitral valve surgery, congenital heart surgery and arrhythmia surgery are performed with robots. Coronary artery bypass surgery is performed without stopping the heart or by stopping the heart (using a heart-lung machine). Mitral valve operations are performed by stopping the heart. With robotic heart surgery, the recovery period for patients is significantly shortened, and patients can usually return to work after 15 days. Bleeding, infection, pain and blood usage are much less.
