Welcome to Kauvery Hospital, Where Your Heart Health Is In Good Hands

As heart diseases become increasingly prevalent, the necessity for cardiac surgeries rises as well.

Although heart surgery has become highly standardised and successful, the conventional approach often deters patients due to the requirement of fully cutting open the breastbone, resulting in lengthy scars.

To alleviate this concern, Kauvery Hospital offers Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) in Bangalore, also known as "keyhole" heart surgery, as part of its advanced cardiac invasive procedures.

MICS Care at Kauvery - Where care meets innovation!

Minimal bleeding, reducing transfusion requirements

You need not worry about complications like transfusion requirements as there is very less bleeding.

Smaller, more cosmetically appealing scars

Post surgical scars are minimal, as a result you don’t feel you have had a major procedure, cosmetically.

Earlier hospital discharge

You go back home early, that reduces risk of hospital induced infections and keeps hospital bills within affordable limits.

Reduced pain

You hardly feel any pain compared to conventional methods.

Preserved lung function

Your lung function remains intact, while your heart gets healed.

Faster recovery

You get well and back on track way too fast.

What is MICS?

MICS stands for Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery.

It's a surgical approach used in cardiac procedures where the surgeon performs operations on the heart through small incisions in the chest, rather than traditional open-heart surgery that requires a large incision through the breastbone.

At Kauvery, MICS offers several advantages including reduced pain, less blood loss, faster recovery, and smaller scars compared to traditional surgery.

Kauvery Hospital's MICS: Overview

At Kauvery Hospital, our commitment to advancing cardiac care is demonstrated by our cutting-edge Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) techniques. Using the latest technology, our expert team offers patients safer, more effective, and less invasive treatment options for various cardiac conditions.


Robotic technology increases precision and accuracy in cardiac procedures.

Robotic-assisted cardiac surgery at Kauvery Hospital uses advanced robotic systems to perform complex heart procedures with unprecedented precision.

This approach minimises the need for large incisions, resulting in less trauma to the body and quicker recovery times. The robotic system translates the surgeon's movements into smaller, more precise actions using miniaturised instruments, improving accuracy and reducing the risk of complications.

Patients benefit from shorter hospital stays, reduced pain, and faster return to daily activities.

Robotic-assisted techniques are particularly effective for mitral valve repairs, coronary artery bypass grafting, and other intricate cardiac surgeries, providing a high degree of safety and efficiency.

VATS provides a minimally invasive alternative for thoracic surgeries.

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) at Kauvery Hospital is a state-of-the-art technique used for various thoracic and cardiac procedures.

This minimally invasive method involves using a thoracoscope – a thin tube with a camera – inserted through small incisions in the chest. The thoracoscope provides a high-definition view of the heart and surrounding structures, allowing surgeons to perform complex procedures without needing large, open-chest surgery.

VATS significantly reduces postoperative pain, lowers the risk of infection, and accelerates the healing process.

It's an ideal choice for procedures like lobectomies, mediastinal tumour excisions, and certain types of cardiac surgeries, offering patients a safer and more comfortable surgical experience.

This kind of surgery combines traditional and minimally invasive techniques for the best outcomes.

Hybrid cardiac surgery at Kauvery Hospital combines the benefits of traditional open-heart surgery and minimally invasive techniques to treat complex cardiac conditions.

This integrated approach allows surgeons to perform simultaneous procedures, such as combining catheter-based interventions with surgical repairs, in a single operation.

Hybrid surgeries are conducted in specially equipped operating rooms that facilitate both surgical and interventional procedures. This method offers significant advantages, including reduced operative times, fewer complications, and enhanced patient recovery.

It is particularly beneficial for patients requiring multiple cardiac interventions, as it minimises the need for separate surgeries and improves overall treatment outcomes.
