FAQs

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery involves performing heart procedures through small incisions, reducing recovery time and minimizing complications compared to traditional open-heart surgery.

Robotic-assisted heart surgery offers enhanced precision, smaller incisions, reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times for patients.
