Minimally invasive heart surgery Procedures with Prof. Dr. Mohamed El-Ghannam
During minimally invasive heart surgery, Prof. Dr. Mohammed El-Ghannam:- Makes small surgical incisions in the patient’s chest, instead of the large surgical incision in traditional open heart surgery.
- Through the small incisions between the ribs of the chest, the doctor inserts an endoscope equipped with a small video camera that allows the doctor to see the heart with high accuracy.
- After finishing the required surgery with great precision and complete safety, the doctor sutures the small incisions with cosmetic sutures, and the patient is transferred to intensive care and follow-up after surgery.
