Surgery and Anaesthesia Conference-IPSC 2026

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery allows surgeons to undertake advanced heart procedures using tiny incisions, with reduced trauma and faster recovery. Mini-thoracotomy and port-access surgery techniques enhance accuracy, minimize postoperative pain, and reduce hospitalization time. These methods are now commonly applied in valve repair, coronary artery bypass, and atrial septal defect closure. Advances in surgical tools, robotic technology, and imaging have enhanced the safety and feasibility of minimally invasive cardiac interventions. Patients are helped with quicker mobilization, less complication, and improved cosmetic results. Multidisciplinary management guarantees ideal surgical planning, anesthetic care, and recovery post-surgery, making minimally invasive cardiac surgery a choice of preference in most clinical scenarios.
