Heart and lung surgery
In chest surgery, the advantages of the minimally invasive operating techniques become especially important:
- Significant reduction of the wound pain
- Much faster relaxation after the operation
- Lower potential for wound complications
- Shorter anesthesia times
So, for example, in case of pericardial effusions that cannot be successfully treated through repeated punctures, a surgical discharge possibility can be created using minimally invasive methods and thus a life-threatening pericardial tamponade can be prevented. This operations can be performed on an outpatient basis.
