Opt for MICS (Keyhole Surgery) at Metro Hospitals, Noida

What is MICS?

Heart problems, if ignored, may result in a heart attack or heart failure, which can be fatal if not treated. When heart-related problems cannot be corrected through medicines, surgery remains the only option. Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) is the latest technique for heart surgeries. As the name suggests, it is minimally invasive, involving the insertion of specialized instruments and a camera through small keyhole-sized incisions in the chest. In some cases, the heart and lungs are bypassed during the surgery. MICS is highly effective for various heart problems, offering convenience and effectiveness for surgeons.

Heal Faster, Hurt Less | MICS Advantages

• Faster Recovery
• Less Tissue Injury and Reduced Blood Loss
• Lower Risk of Infection
• Reduced Pain And Trauma
• Shorter Hospitalization
• Small Scar

Types of MICS

Depending on the type of heart problem, experts can suggest the appropriate type of heart surgery. MICS is typically advised for the following conditions:

• Mitral Valve Repair/Replacement
• Tricuspid Valve Repair/Replacement
• Atrial Septal Defect Treatment
• Patent Foramen Ovale Closure Treatment
• Maze Procedure for Atrial Fibrillation
• Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
• Removal of Certain Cardiac Tumors

Benefits of MICS

The biggest benefit of Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery is the minimal damage to the breastbone, leading to less damage to bones and tissues and a quicker recovery post-surgery. Additional benefits include:

• Reduced scarring compared to open-heart surgery
• Minimal risk to the breastbone and ribs
• Reduced risk of infection due to minimal invasiveness
• Less blood loss during surgery
• Reduced pain and faster recovery post-surgery
• Shorter ICU/hospital stay
• Fewer physical restrictions such as driving or lifting objects

Surgeon Benefits

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgeries also offer benefits to surgeons, including:

• Reduced complexity of the entire surgery
• Less bleeding and infection risk
• Better view of the heart through the camera
• Possibility of robotic assistance

Risks of MICS

Although generally less risky than open heart surgeries, MICS still poses potential risks:

• Bleeding during surgery
• Irregular heartbeats
• Infection in heart tissue or surrounding tissue
• Stroke
• Heart attack

Recovery Post MICS

After MICS, the patient is kept under clinical observation in the ICU to reduce the risk of sudden heart attacks and infections. Once the surgeon is convinced of the patient’s stability and recovery, the patient is shifted to a regular hospital room. The duration of this phase depends on the complexity of the heart problem and the MICS procedure. Further recovery is meticulously planned by expert doctors.

Eligibility for MICS

While MICS offers significant benefits, it may not be suitable for all patients due to certain conditions and complexities. Eligibility is determined by examining the patient’s medical history, physical test reports, pathology, radiology, BMI profile, and more.
