FAQ

Questions to ask a Cardiothoracic Surgery

Open heart surgery is a traditional type of surgery that involves making a large incision in the chest to access the heart. Minimally invasive heart surgery uses smaller incisions and instruments, which can lead to less pain, shorter recovery time, and faster return to normal activities.

Robotic-assisted surgery uses a robotic arm to control the surgical instruments. This allows surgeons to operate with greater precision and accuracy, which can lead to better outcomes for patients. Traditional surgery uses the surgeon’s hands to control the surgical instruments.

The benefits of minimally invasive heart surgery include:

  • Less pain
  • Shorter recovery time
  • Faster return to normal activities
  • Smaller scars

The recovery time for cardiothoracic surgery varies depending on the type of surgery and the patient’s overall health. However, most patients can expect to stay in the hospital for a few days after surgery. The recovery period may also include physical therapy and other rehabilitation exercises.

In some cases, non-surgical treatments, such as medication or lifestyle changes, may be enough to treat a heart or lung condition. However, in other cases, cardiothoracic surgery may be the only way to save a patient’s life or improve their quality of life.
