Dr. Adil Sadiq who heads Cardiac Surgery in Sakra World Hospital, is one of the few surgeons in India with extensive experience in Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS CABG), including endoscopic approaches, and who can perform Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS). During the event he shared several insights into how the cost of treatment had been reduced to almost zero, by adopting of a new technique, pioneered by a Japanese doctor. His presentation included some breath taking visuals of heart surgeries, especially the beating heart surgery. He outlined that this could well revolutionize cardiac surgery in India, by improving access and reducing costs greatly. Apart from mentoring numerous cardiac surgeons in India and abroad, his trademarked LIS technique, has been continually working to make treatment more affordable and accessible to the general public from children to senior citizens. He has pioneered Aortic valve reconstruction (Ozaki procedure) in India and leads the only unit certified to perform the procedure. This procedure offers significant cost and technical benefits for patients, as it reconstructs the valve from the body own tissues, eliminating the need for mechanical valve or valves sourced from animals. Dr. Adil Sadiq has been at the forefront of introducing principles of lean management into surgical practice that improve efficiency, reduce waste and improve outcomes.
