Surgical Procedures

New Ideas, Same Goals

Although surgical tools and techniques have come a long way since the early days of cardiothoracic surgery, one thing that hasn't changed is the need to improve patients' lives.

Cardiac events can be stressful, painful, and frightening moments. The prospect of undergoing cardiothoracic surgery can often add to that stress.

Today, however, as surgeries become more sophisticated, patients have less to fear. Advances in surgery have yielded minimally invasive techniques that reduce risk, pain and trauma.

These technologies mean that today's patients have a broader range of alternatives to conventional open surgery than those of even 10 years ago. These robotic-assisted minimally invasive procedures benefit patients with less pain, discomfort and blood loss. Often, patients can return to normal activities much more quickly.
