Minimally invasive heart surgeries

Heart surgeons perform most of the operations through 6-10 cm incisions made between the ribs.

Advantages of the method — lower traumatism of the tissues in comparison with the sternum opening during the open surgery. Little scars remain after the surgery. The recovery period is quicker than after the open surgery.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with and without heart-lung apparatus

In the most cases, doctors use the artery of the chest. It is sewed to the heart in circumvention in the affected vessel, and due to this, normal blood circulation is restored. Cardiologists have proven that the arteries of the chest are not clogged for over 30 years.

Doctors conduct CABG of 2 types — with and without an artificial circulation apparatus. During the operation, the device does the function of the heart and lungs. Operation without an apparatus is technically difficult, but after it a patient has no risk of developing atrial fibrillation.

 

A catheterization laboratory

A medical team of the Center consists of neurosurgeons, traumatologists, orthopedists, and physiotherapists. Doctors treat spine traumas, deformations, and tumors.

Doctors specialize in performing such operations as:

• Microsurgery. Specialists remove tumors through 1-8 cm incisions. The recovery period after microsurgeries is rapid. The scars are barely noticeable.
• Laser therapy. Doctors apply the laser when the tumor cannot be removed completely. The method help to avoid the resurgence of the disease.
• Ultrasound therapy. Ultrasound reduces the tumor size. Then the doctors remove the fluid through a thin catheter. For this procedure, extensive incisions are not required. Physicians perform manipulations through 1-2 punctures.
