MULTAN, Oct 04 (APP): A team of doctors at Chaudhary Pervaiz Elahi Institute of Cardiology (CPEIC) conducted the first-ever Minimum Invasive Surgey (MIS) in Punjab of four patients successfully.
Executive Director CPEIC, Dr Rana Altaf Ahmad, told APP on Sunday that experts from the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases trained the health facility team during a two day workshop. He informed Dr Pervaiz Chaudhry of NICVD, Karachi along with team trained CPEIC medics adding that assistant professor of cardiac surgery, Dr Yasir Khakwani and his team conducted surgery for complicated heart diseases without opening chest of the patients through MIS.
The CPEIC will start this Minimum Invasive Surgery within two months on a regular basis, the ED informed. In this workshop four patients were operated for AVR, MVR and ASD, Dr Altaf said, and added that all patients are stable without any complications. The patients benefited by the very small incision and can be mobilised fast without any pain while in classical operation incision is on sternum and healing takes a long time but with MIS, the surgery incision is on one side and a few centimetres long, he explained.
The patient’s pain is lesser and he can be discharged earlier through this procedure, he maintained. Cost is also less as hospital stay is less compared with the classical method. CPEIC will lead in this new technique and start MIS soon by its own surgeons, he hoped.
