Minimal access surgery (keyhole surgery) - Medical specialists

Centre for Minimal Access Cardiac Surgery, part of London Bridge Hospital, offers patients alternatives to open heart surgeries. Opting for less invasive techniques that require smaller incisions, patients can expect a quicker recovery, less pain, and fewer scars. Minimal access surgery also has lower infection rates. Procedures performed by some of the most qualified surgeons in the UK include: Aortic, mitral and tricuspid valve repairs and replacements. Coronary artery bypass grafts in single vessel disease, on a beating heart. Atrial septal defects or PFO closures (holes in the heart wall dividing the atria).
