VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) and MICS (Minimal Invasive Cardiac Surgery) describe minimal invasive throcic surgery.
They have significant advantages compared to traditional operations.
Classic procedures require a median sternotomy, while VATS / MICS operations are performed with several small incisions without cutting the sternum. RZ offers high quality instruments and endoscopes for the video assisted approach.
Advantages:
- less blood loss
- reduced post-operative discomfort
- faster healing times
- lower risk of infections
- less traumatic procedure qualifies a larger number of patients
