Our Services
Comprehensive Surgical Solutions
01
Valve Repair and Replacement
Heart valves play a crucial role in ensuring blood flows in the correct direction within the heart. When these valves become damaged or diseased, they may not function properly, leading to heart failure, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Valve repair or replacement surgery aims to address this issue and restore normal blood flow.
03
Aortic Surgery
The aorta, the body's largest artery, carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to various organs. Aortic surgery encompasses a range of specialized procedures to treat different conditions affecting this vital vessel.
02
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), also known as heart bypass surgery, is a procedure used to improve blood flow to the heart muscle in patients with blocked coronary arteries. During CABG surgery, healthy blood vessels from other parts of the body are grafted to bypass the blocked arteries. This creates a new pathway for blood to reach the heart muscle, alleviating chest pain, improving heart function, and reducing the risk of future heart attacks.
04
Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery
Minimally invasive heart surgery (MICS) offers a patient-centric alternative to traditional open-heart surgery. This innovative approach utilizes smaller incisions, often between the ribs, to access the heart.
Global Collaboration, Global Impact: Advancing Heart Care for All
Our dedication to improving heart health extends beyond the walls of our hospital. Our physician-scientists don't just treat hearts, they transform the field. They forge strong partnerships with researchers worldwide, fostering a collaborative spirit that pushes the boundaries of cardiovascular surgery. These collaborative efforts translate into groundbreaking advancements, ultimately improving heart care for people everywhere.
05
Lung Resections and Lung Volume Reduction Surgery
Lung surgeries offer solutions for various lung conditions. Lung resections involve removing diseased portions of the lung, commonly performed for lung cancer or severe COPD. Depending on the extent of the disease, surgeons may remove a lobe (lobectomy), a smaller section (segmentectomy), or a wedge-shaped piece (wedge resection).
06
Complex Thoracic Malignancies
Complex thoracic malignancy surgery is a specialized field requiring immense skill and precision. These procedures aim for complete removal of cancerous tumors while preserving the function of vital organs within the chest cavity.
07
Tracheal Surgery
Tracheal surgery focuses on correcting abnormalities or injuries affecting the windpipe, also known as the trachea. This essential tube allows air to pass between the nose or mouth and the lungs.
08
Esophageal Surgery
Esophageal surgery addresses a range of conditions affecting the esophagus, the muscular tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach.
