For the first time in Nepal, three heart valve surgery using cutting-edge technology
At the Manmohan Center in Maharajgunj, a rare surgery to replace 3 heart valves has been completed using minimally invasive cardiac surgery method.
At Manmohan Cardiothoracic Vascular and Transplant Center in Maharajganj, complex and rare heart surgery has been performed. For the first time, 3 valves of the heart were operated through the 'Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery-Mix' method.
A 52-year-old man from Kathmandu was operated on on July 5 by cardiac surgeon Dr. Anil Bhattarai informed. The surgery was led by Dr. Bhattarai. The patient was discharged from the hospital on July 11.
According to Dr. Bhattarai, the patient came to the hospital about 6-7 months ago. He came for examination with problems such as difficulty in breathing, shortness of breath, and rapid fatigue. During the examination, three valves of his heart were damaged. Even though it was said that the surgery would be done at that time, the date kept moving due to various problems.
According to Dr. Bhattarai, this technique has been used in other types of surgery, but it was used for the first time in the surgery of 3 valves. According to him, two valves of the patient were changed and one was repaired.
If this technique was not used, a large wound would have to be made by cutting open the chest. The patient took longer to recover. During the surgery with the 'Mix' method, only a small hole was made under the armpit. In this, the patient recovers faster and the risk of post-operative infection is also reduced.
Dr. Bhattarai said that performing complex surgeries with the latest technology in hospitals in Nepal is a new step in heart treatment.
