Minimally invasive surgery has become widespread, especially in the last 25 years, like classical surgery, and continues to develop with the development of modern medicine. Minimally invasive surgery, also known as surgery with a small incision, ensures that patients have a comfortable post-operative period.
After Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery Procedure
Patients who have minimally invasive heart surgery can return to their daily routines within 1-2 weeks. Depending on the patient's age, general health and heart health, recovery time may be slower or faster. However, patients have a wider range of motion after surgery. Patients can sleep in any position they want, cross their legs, go up and down stairs, and drive.
After minimally invasive surgery performed with incisions of a few centimeters, patients do not need to carefully protect the chest area and wound care is easier.
