Yashoda Hospitals is going to host a live international workshop on Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgeries (MICS) on Saturday in Hyderabad. 150 delegates from across the nation and Sri Lanka will be attending the workshop. International faculty including Dr Jaishankar Raman from Rush University Medical Center, USA and Dr Theo Kofidis, Associate Professor, Adult Cardiac Surgery, Department of Cardiac National University of Singapore are also going to be a part of the workshop.
Dr Alla Gopala Krishna Gokhale, HOD, Department of Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery, Yashoda said that there has been an apparent rise in heart diseases between the age group of 40-60. “As part of the workshop, we are going to perform two live surgeries. One of the surgeries will be a bypass surgery and other will be a mitral valve surgery,” said Dr Gokhale.
“Minimally invasive procedures use a small incision to the right of the heart without stopping the heart or cutting into the breastbone and the ribcage. Such procedures promise speedy recovery which will help people return to normalcy quickly. It is also less painful as compared to regular surgeries and it promises a short stay at the hospital,” he added. “This procedure can be applied on anyone in the age group of 18-80. But after taking patient’s safety into consideration, only then is the minimal invasive procedure administered. Of course it is cost-effective also,” said Gokhale.
Dr G S Rao, Managing Director, Yashoda Hospitals felt, “The aim of the workshop is to share knowledge among the doctors’ community and highlight the advantages of using a minimally invasive procedure . Another goal of this workshop is to train as many doctors as possible in the minimal invasive procedures so as to provide qualitative medical services to heart patients. In 100 heart operations we perform per month, 25 % are performed as a minimal access surgery.
By giving training to doctors in this method, the number of minimal invasive surgeries can be enhanced to 60 to 75 per cent in the near future.”
