Kauvery Hospital, Alwarpet, has introduced robotic-assisted, beating heart coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) using the 4th generation da Vinci robotic surgical system.
With this development, Kauvery Hospital now offers this advanced minimally invasive cardiac surgery service as part of its comprehensive heart care programme, reinforcing its commitment to precision-driven and patient-centric treatment, says a media release from the hospital.
The integration of robotic technology into coronary bypass surgery enables surgeons to perform complex procedures through small keyhole incisions without stopping the heart.
This approach avoids the use of a heart-lung machine and reduces surgical trauma, making it a preferred option for selected patients with coronary artery disease.
The robotic cardiac surgery programme at Kauvery Hospital is led by Dr. Arunkumar Krishnasamy, robotic cardiac surgeon and senior consultant, cardio-thoracic surgery, supported by a multidisciplinary team comprising Dr Nedumaran, senior cardiac anesthesiologist, Dr Mahadevan, senior consultant cardiac anesthesiologist, Dr Ashwin Venkatesh cardio-thoracic surgeon, Dr Suganya Chandran, associate consultant-CTVS, perfusionists, and critical care specialists at Kauvery.
