Minimally invasive cardiac surgery has transformed how heart conditions are treated. Unlike traditional open-heart procedures, which require large incisions, this approach uses small cuts and specialized instruments to repair or replace parts of the heart.

Dr. Asher George is a pioneer in providing minimally invasive procedures such as valve repairs, bypass surgeries, and correction of congenital heart defects. The benefits for patients are remarkable: smaller scars, reduced blood loss, less pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times.

One common procedure is minimally invasive valve repair or replacement. Instead of opening the chest, the surgeon accesses the heart through small incisions between the ribs, often assisted by robotic technology or video imaging. This allows for high precision while minimizing trauma to the body.

Patients who may not tolerate major surgery due to age or other medical conditions often benefit most from this approach. However, a thorough evaluation is necessary to determine suitability.

After surgery, patients usually return home within a few days and resume normal activities sooner than with open-heart surgery. Lifestyle changes and follow-up appointments remain crucial for long-term success.

By combining innovation, experience, and patient-centered care, Dr. Asher George ensures that patients not only survive but thrive after treatment. Minimally invasive surgery is truly shaping the future of cardiac care.
