What to Anticipate During a MICS?
Robotic heart surgery, thoracoscopic surgery, and chest surgery through a small incision are all examples of Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Surgery and Minimally Invasive Heart Bypass Surgery. In each type, doctors make a tiny incision between your chest ribs to access your heart.
The surgeon uses a gadget with a tiny video camera introduced via one of the incisions to assist in viewing inside your body. Similar to open heart surgery, the majority of minimally invasive procedures employ a heart-
lung bypass machine. Throughout the process, the machine keeps blood flowing through your body.
Thoracoscopic procedures
In thoracoscopic surgery, also known as a mini-thoracotomy, your doctor makes a small incision in your chest and inserts a long, thin tube called a thoracoscope that houses a tiny video camera.
Long devices that are introduced through tiny incisions between your ribs are used by your surgeon to repair your heart.
Following The Mics

Additional tubes inserted during surgery will drain blood and fluid from your chest as well as urine from your bladder. Oxygen may be administered to you via a face mask or nasal prongs.
