Chandigarh: Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in Sector 32, Chandigarh, will be the first government hospital in North India to provide the service of minimally invasive cardiac surgery to patients.
On April 5th and 6th, the cardiac surgeons at the Department of General Surgery of the Government Medical College and Hospital in Sector 32, Chandigarh, held a workshop on minimally invasive heart surgery. This workshop would serve as a first step in introducing minimally invasive cardiac surgery in the hospital, reports the Indian Express.
Three cases of minimally invasive heart surgery have already been completed successfully in the hospital with the assistance of the Department of Anaesthesia. Now, the hospital will frequently carry out these operations.
The first government hospital in North India to offer these services to patients would be GMCH-32. These cutting-edge treatments will be used to treat heart conditions like holes in the heart since birth (atrial septal defect) and surgeries to replace heart valves. These procedures, which make use of specialized tools, offer the benefit of leaving a smaller scar and allowing for a quicker hospital discharge. Within a week, patients are most likely to resume their normal activities.
