🦾❤️ Precision in Every Beat: Robotic Heart Bypass Surgery in India

🩺 Introduction

In recent years, Robotic Heart Bypass Surgery in India has emerged as a groundbreaking advancement in cardiac care, offering patients a safer, less invasive alternative to traditional open-heart surgery. With cutting-edge robotic technology and expert cardiac surgeons, this innovative procedure is transforming the way heart diseases like coronary artery blockage are treated. Whether you’re dealing with coronary artery disease or seeking a quicker recovery with minimal complications, India is fast becoming a global hub for robotic cardiac solutions. This article explores the procedure, benefits, risks, recovery, success rate, and the cost of Robotic Heart Bypass Surgery in India, helping you make an informed decision for your heart health.

🫀 What is Robotic Heart Bypass Surgery?

Robotic Heart Bypass Surgery is a revolutionary, minimally invasive procedure used to treat Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Unlike traditional open-heart surgeries that require splitting the breastbone, robotic procedures are done through tiny incisions using robotic arms controlled by a surgeon from a computer console. This modern approach ensures less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.

👨‍⚕️ Who Needs Robotic Heart Bypass Surgery?

This procedure is ideal for:

Patients with blocked or narrowed coronary arteries.

Individuals who are elderly, diabetic, or obese.

Patients with single coronary artery blockages.

Those who are at low to medium surgical risk and seek faster recovery times.

Robotic surgery is especially beneficial for patients looking for less invasive options due to lifestyle or medical constraints.

🔍 Types of Robotic Heart Bypass Surgery

🔹 Totally Endoscopic Coronary Artery Bypass (TECAB)

Done through small incisions without opening the chest.

🔹 Robotic-Assisted Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass (MIDCAB)

Uses robotic arms for a precise bypass via a small chest incision.

🔹 Hybrid Coronary Revascularization

A combination of robotic bypass and angioplasty with stenting, reducing complications and improving recovery.

🧪 Pre-Surgery Evaluation

Before the surgery, patients undergo comprehensive diagnostic tests:

🫀 Echocardiogram

💓 ECG

🏃 Stress Tests

📸 Coronary Angiography

These tests help the medical team assess:

The location of artery blockages.

Coexisting health conditions.

Patient suitability for robotic access.

A multidisciplinary team including cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, and radiologists collaborates to ensure the safest and most effective surgical plan.

🏥 Robotic Heart Bypass Surgery Procedure: Step-by-Step

🛌 Preoperative Preparation

General anesthesia is administered. Vital signs are monitored throughout.

✂️ Port Placement

Multiple small (1–2 cm) incisions are made for robotic tool access.

🤖 Robotic Setup

The surgeon operates robotic arms from a high-definition console for maximum precision.

👁️ Internal Visualization

A small endoscopic camera provides a magnified, 3D view of the heart.

🫁 Graft Harvesting

Internal mammary artery or saphenous vein is harvested as the bypass graft.

🪡 Conducting the Bypass

Graft is attached to bypass the blocked artery, often on a beating heart (off-pump surgery).

🩹 Closure & Recovery

Instruments are removed, incisions are closed, and the patient moves to recovery.

⚠️ Risks & Complications

Though rare, some potential risks include:

Infection or bleeding

Irregular heart rhythm

Blood clots

Heart attack

Equipment malfunction (rare)

Conversion to open-heart surgery in complicated cases

However, due to its minimally invasive nature, the risk level is significantly lower than traditional procedures.

⏳ Recovery & Long-Term Care

ICU stay for 24 to 48 hours post-surgery.

Hospital discharge typically within 3–5 days.

Walking is encouraged the next day to speed recovery.

Most patients return to normal life in 2 to 3 weeks.

Aortic valve stenosis patient saved with sutureless robot-assisted surgery

KG Hospital performs India’s first robot-assisted sutureless aortic valve replacement surgery on a senior male patient suffering from aortic valve stenosis.

KG Hospital, Coimbatore informs to have performed what it claims to be India’s first sutureless robot-assisted aortic valve replacement surgery using da Vinci surgical robot. The procedure was carried out on a 74-year-old male patient diagnosed with aortic valve stenosis. Dr Arun Kumar, a cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon at KG Hospital led the surgery.

The patient, diagnosed with severe aortic valve stenosis two years prior, had symptoms including palpitations and exertion, progressing to breathlessness. This condition put him at high risk for cardiac surgery. Over 10 percent of individuals with heart conditions have bicuspid aortic valve, which then progresses to aortic valve stenosis at the age of 50 to 60.

Dr Arunkumar Ulaganathan said, “The valve helps blood flow to the rest of the body. The calcification reduced his heart’s working capacity. However, with the 3D dexterity and magnified imaging provided by da Vinci surgical system, we were able to safely place the valve into the aorta, without the risk of dislocation in the future.”

Robot-assisted procedures have several advantages including a high degree of precision, clarity with the imaging, minimized scarring and blood loss, fewer post-operative wound infections, and faster recovery.

Mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement are procedures that may be performed to treat diseases of the mitral valve, the valve located between the left heart chambers (left atrium and left ventricle). Several types of mitral valve disease exist. In mitral valve regurgitation, the flaps (leaflets) of the mitral valve don't close tightly, causing blood to leak backward into the left atrium. This commonly occurs due to valve leaflets bulging back a condition called mitral valve prolapse. In another condition, called mitral valve stenosis, the leaflets become thick or stiff, and they may fuse together. This results in a narrowed valve opening and reduced blood flow through the valve. Treatment for mitral valve disease depends on the severity of the condition. Surgeons may recommend surgery to repair or replace mitral valves for some people with mitral valve disease. Several surgical procedures exist to repair or replace mitral valves, including open-heart surgery or minimally invasive heart surgery. #PetersSurgical #MitralValveRepair #RoboticHeartSurgery #OpenHeartByPassSurgery ❤️ (at Surgery Ward) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCJtnLBnLCnsowc87A4-qD0dwjLMr6hifz4ctg0/?igshid=1r9i8twzbqmci

KG Hospital performs robotic-assisted Aortic Valve Replacement

KG Hospital, one of the leading multispecialty hospitals in Coimbatore, performed India’s first ever robotic-assisted suture-less aortic valve replacement surgery recently.

This robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) performed by using advanced Da Vinci technology on a 74-year-old male patient, who was diagnosed with Aortic Valve Stenosis, was led by Dr. Arun Kumar, a renowned cardiovascular and thoracic surgery at KG hospital.

The patient was diagnosed with severe aortic valve stenosis (thickening and narrowing of the valve between the Heart’s main pumping chambers) two years before the surgery, however as the symptoms progressed and heavy calcification (deposition of calcium) set in, he had to undergo this rare robotic-assisted surgery.

With Aortic Valve Stenosis, the patient’s working capacity had reduced to a point where exertion was causing routine palpitations. With the help of robotic-assisted surgery, the doctors were able to place a prosthetic valve with just guiding sutures.

Commenting on this complex case, Dr. Arun Kumar, Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeon at KG Hospital, Coimbatore said, “With the 3D dexterity and magnified imaging provided by da Vinci surgical system, we were able to safely place the valve into the aorta, without the risk of dislocation in future. One of the major risks for post-operative mortalities/ morbidities is the dislocation of the implanted valve. With robotics used, we had an additional layer of assurance and confidence that the valve was seated properly.”

“We are proud about performing this first-of-its-kind surgery, and we are delighted to have provided excellent patient care. We look forward to doing many such procedures in the future. Our aim at KG is to provide the best possible outcomes with the least amount of strain on the patient,” Dr. Arun Kumar added.

High degrees of precision, clarity with the imaging, minimized scarring and blood loss, fewer post-operative wound infections, and faster recovery are additional advantages that the robotic-assisted procedures have. Reducing the chance of infection makes it an ideal procedure for people with co-morbidities. Additionally, for robotic-assisted cardiac procedures, there is a lesser degree of rib-spreading required as compared to other forms of surgery. In many surgical procedures, robotic-assisted surgery is a less invasive method that enables patients to return to their regular lives considerably faster than open surgeries.

The RAS system allows surgeons to do procedures through a few tiny incisions. The system consists of small wrist-mounted equipment that can bend and rotate far more than a human hand, as well as a magnified 3D high-definition vision system.

Robotic Heart Surgery is a type of surgery minimally invasive heart that is performed by a cardiac surgeon. The conventional open cardiac surgery involves a Sternotomy i.e. cutting through the sternum (breastbone) and opening the ribs. This, invasive technique causes more trauma; takes prolonged healing time and has increased risk for complications.
