Our cutting-edge surgical options encompass traditional Open Heart Surgery, state-of-the-art Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS), and advanced Hybrid Surgery.<\/p>\n<p>While traditional Open Heart Surgery requires a standard sternotomy, creating a larger incision through the breastbone to access the heart directly. It often demands a longer, more intensive postoperative healing period. In contrast, our clinic focuses on revolutionary MICS techniques designed to drastically minimise surgical trauma. By utilising smaller, precise incisions between the ribs, our approach significantly reduces patient pain, shortens hospital stays, and ensures minimal scarring.<\/p>\n<p>As a premier destination for MICS in Singapore, our specialised practice delivers an extensive range of advanced, minimally invasive and endoscopic heart surgery procedures, including:[\/vc_column_text]<style>.vcex-bullets.vcex_6a66b6b23b6b9 .vcex-bullets-icon{color:var(--wpex-palette-54-color);}.vcex-bullets.vcex_6a66b6b23b6b9 .vcex-bullets-icon-wrap{margin-inline-end:20px;}.vcex-bullets.vcex_6a66b6b23b6b9{color:var(--wpex-palette-54-color);}<\/style><div class=\"vcex-module vcex-bullets vcex-bullets--vertical wpex-gap-15 custom-icon wpex-mb-20 vc_custom_1782232298773 vcex_6a66b6b23b6b9\">\n<ul role=\"list\">\n<li><div class=\"vcex-bullets-ci-wrap wpex-inline-flex\"><span class=\"vcex-bullets-icon-wrap vcex-icon-wrap wpex-mr-10\"><span class=\"vcex-bullets-icon vcex-icon wpex-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M256 512A256 256 0 1 0 256 0a256 256 0 1 0 0 512z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><div class=\"vcex-content wpex-flex-grow\">Heart Valve Repairs and Replacements<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div class=\"vcex-bullets-ci-wrap wpex-inline-flex\"><span class=\"vcex-bullets-icon-wrap vcex-icon-wrap wpex-mr-10\"><span class=\"vcex-bullets-icon vcex-icon wpex-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M256 512A256 256 0 1 0 256 0a256 256 0 1 0 0 512z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><div class=\"vcex-content wpex-flex-grow\">Treatment of Multiple Conditions Together<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div class=\"vcex-bullets-ci-wrap wpex-inline-flex\"><span class=\"vcex-bullets-icon-wrap vcex-icon-wrap wpex-mr-10\"><span class=\"vcex-bullets-icon vcex-icon wpex-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M256 512A256 256 0 1 0 256 0a256 256 0 1 0 0 512z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><div class=\"vcex-content wpex-flex-grow\">Bypass Surgery<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div class=\"vcex-bullets-ci-wrap wpex-inline-flex\"><span class=\"vcex-bullets-icon-wrap vcex-icon-wrap wpex-mr-10\"><span class=\"vcex-bullets-icon vcex-icon wpex-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M256 512A256 256 0 1 0 256 0a256 256 0 1 0 0 512z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><div class=\"vcex-content wpex-flex-grow\">Arrhythmia Surgery<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;](Adj) Professor Theo Kofidis is dedicated to utilising these established methods to enhance patient outcomes, ensuring you receive the highest standard of care with minimal disruption to your life.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;35&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1782236149562{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;5\/12&#8243;]<style>.vcex-heading.vcex_6a66b6b23baa3{color:var(--wpex-palette-55-color);font-size:34px;font-weight:500;line-height:var(--wpex-leading-tight);}@media (max-width:1024px){.vcex-heading.vcex_6a66b6b23baa3{font-size:34px;}}@media (max-width:959px){.vcex-heading.vcex_6a66b6b23baa3{font-size:30px;}}@media (max-width:767px){.vcex-heading.vcex_6a66b6b23baa3{font-size:26px;}}@media (max-width:479px){.vcex-heading.vcex_6a66b6b23baa3{font-size:26px;}}<\/style><h2 class=\"vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vcex-module wpex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-mb-40 vcex_6a66b6b23baa3\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block\">UNDERSTANDING<br \/>\nYOUR OPTIONS<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; bottom_margin=&#8221;30px&#8221;]While both MICS and Open Heart Surgery are effective in treating heart conditions, they differ in their approach and patient experience.
