Why Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery?

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery, also known as MICS, is a heart surgery performed through small incisions in the side of the chest, as an alternative to open-heart surgery. It has allowed a more patient-focused approach than conventional methods, with smaller incisions and minimal tissue retraction resulting in less pain, better cosmetic results and reduced recovery time.

Exploring Creative Depths

•  Since the birth date of Cardiac surgery in 1953, improvements, innovations and creativity have never stopped.

•  20 years ago, cardiac surgeons and their patients had the privilege of experiencing the launch of the MICS technique which  introduced a better experience for them.
  

• ​ A key feature of MICS is the use of an endoscope. Although the idea of introducing endoscopes in cardiac surgery is not new, the problem was its affordability.

A Lasting Journey

• The aim of Dr. Tamer El Banna and his team is to provide safer results to patients in Egypt combined with shorter hospital stay, faster recovery time and rapid return to work.

• Dr. Tamer El Banna and his team are now able to provide the minimal invasive technique to most of their patients.

• Although it is still a demanding procedure, Dr. Tamer and his team's goal is to spread this technique all over the region via their training courses and unique unprecedented number of case load. ​
