Robotic Cardiac Surgery in Bangalore

Robotic cardiac surgery is used to treat a variety of heart conditions, including Coronary Artery Disease, Mitral Valve Disease, and Atrial Septal Defects. Our trained cardiac surgeons perform all kinds of cardiac surgeries and thoracic procedures like:

• Robotic-assisted CABGs (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting): This procedure uses robotic technology to bypass blocked coronary arteries, improving blood flow to the heart. It reduces recovery time and minimizes surgical trauma compared to traditional open-heart surgery.
• Robotic-assisted Mitral Valve Repairs: In this procedure, the robot assistant allows surgeons to repair a damaged mitral valve with greater precision, often resulting in faster recovery and less postoperative pain.
• Mitral Valve Replacements: When the mitral valve cannot be repaired, robotic surgery enables its replacement with a prosthetic valve through smaller incisions, reducing hospital stays and recovery times.
• ASD Surgery (Atrial Septal Defect): In this process, Robotic surgery is used to close holes in the heart’s septum, correcting abnormal blood flow between the heart's chambers. This improves overall heart function.
• Thoracic Lobectomies: Robotic-assisted lobectomy involves the removal of part of the lung to treat conditions such as cancer or severe infections, with smaller incisions that promote quicker healing and less pain.
• Segmentectomies: In this procedure, robotic systems help remove a segment of lung tissue, typically for cancer or tumors, offering greater precision and minimal damage to surrounding tissues.
• Excision of Mediastinal Tumours: Robotic surgery is used to remove tumors in the mediastinum (the area between the lungs), improving accuracy and reducing recovery time.
• Excision of Mediastinal Masses: Similar to tumor excision, this procedure removes non-cancerous masses from the mediastinum, often resulting in less pain and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery.

FAQs

Q1. What is robotic heart surgery?

Robotic heart surgery is a minimally invasive procedure where a surgeon uses a robotic system to perform heart surgery through tiny incisions. The robot provides high precision, better visualization, and enhanced control, especially in complex cardiac procedures.

Q2. What is the cost of robotic heart surgery?

The cost of robotic heart surgery in India typically ranges from ?3.5 lakhs to ?7 lakhs, depending on the type of procedure, hospital, surgeon’s expertise, and the patient’s overall condition. It may be slightly higher than traditional surgery, but it offers faster recovery and less pain.

Q3. How painful is robotic heart surgery?

Robotic heart surgery is less painful compared to traditional open-heart surgery because it involves smaller incisions, no rib spreading, and minimal tissue damage. Most patients experience mild discomfort that is manageable with medications.

Q4. How is Robotic Heart Surgery Different from Traditional Open-Heart Surgery?

• Incisions: Robotic surgery uses small keyhole cuts, while open-heart surgery requires a large chest incision.
• Recovery: Robotic surgery allows faster healing, less pain, and shorter hospital stays.
• Precision: The robotic system gives the surgeon enhanced control and 3D visualization.
• Scarring: Minimal scarring in robotic surgery compared to open-heart procedures.
