Introduction:

In the ever-evolving field of cardiac surgery, advancements are constantly being made to improve patient outcomes and enhance recovery experiences. One notable pioneer in the realm of cardiac surgery is Dr. Pankaj Pohekar, a distinguished specialist in Minimal Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) at AIMS Hospital in Dombivli. Dr. Pohekar's expertise in this innovative approach to cardiac care has set a new standard for precision and patient well-being.

Understanding Minimal Invasive Cardiac Surgery:

Understanding Minimal Invasive Cardiac Surgery involves performing heart surgeries through small incisions, typically ranging from 2 to 4 inches, as opposed to traditional open-heart procedures that require a larger incision through the breastbone (sternotomy). Dr. Pankaj Pohekar has embraced this approach, offering patients a range of MICS procedures tailored to their specific cardiac conditions.

Types of Minimal Invasive Cardiac Surgery:

Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (MICS-CABG): In MICS-CABG, the surgeon uses small incisions to access the heart, avoiding the need for a sternotomy. This approach minimizes trauma to the chest and reduces postoperative pain and recovery time.

Minimally Invasive Valve Surgery: Dr. Pohekar specializes in repairing or replacing heart valves using MICS techniques. This involves accessing the heart through small incisions, sparing patients the discomfort associated with traditional valve surgeries.

Benefits of Minimal Invasive Cardiac Surgery:

Reduced Pain and Scarring: The smaller incisions in MICS result in less pain and scarring compared to traditional open-heart surgery. Patients experience a more cosmetically pleasing outcome and faster healing.

Quicker Recovery Time: MICS often allows for a faster recovery with shorter hospital stays. Patients can return to their normal activities sooner, leading to an improved quality of life.

Lower Risk of Infection: The reduced exposure of internal organs during MICS minimizes the risk of infections, a common concern in open-heart surgeries.

Conclusion:

Dr. Pankaj Pohekar a CARDIO VASCULAR & THORACIC SURGEON at AIMS Hospital in Dombivli is having 8+ years of experience in Cardio Vascular and Thoracic Surgery. As a leading expert in the field, his skillful application of MICS techniques not only ensures optimal clinical outcomes but also prioritizes patient comfort and recovery. With the numerous benefits associated with MICS, it is clear that this innovative approach is reshaping the future of cardiac surgery and providing new hope for individuals seeking heart-related interventions.
