MINIMALLY INVASIVE HEART SURGERY

A minimally invasive heart surgery is a robot-assisted heart surgery (cardiac surgery) that allows heart surgery to be performed through tiny incisions in the patient’s chest unlike the traditional open surgery that requires large enough incisions to expose and provide access to the area being operated on. In minimally invasive robot-assisted heart surgery, the surgical instruments used are inserted through incisions no larger than a dime, reducing the opportunity for bacterial infection, decreasing post-operative pain, and allowing for faster recovery.

Alternative names for minimally invasive cardiac surgery are minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB), off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB), beating heart surgery, robot assisted coronary artery bypass (RACAB) and keyhole heart surgery.

Medical Tourism is the act of traveling abroad to receive medical, dental and cosmetic care. Medical Tourism is also called as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Health Travel and Medical Value Travel. Significantly lower costs for best practice care is usually the primary motivation although some medical tourists go abroad for immediate availability of procedures and unavailable treatments. Patients frequently take advantage of the opportunity to vacation and tour inexpensively in the country they are visiting.
