Dr Anil Sharma of SMS Cardiothoracic and vascular surgery

There would be just one cut to change heart valve and recovery time and cost would be less too

Dr. Anil Sharma of SMS Cardiothoracic and vascular surgery has the purpose of performing mini-thoracotomy open heart surgery to cure the problems of bad valves in the heart. This thesis of Dr Anil has been published in heart India of April- June 2016 edition. He also purports that SMS hospital is the first hospital in the country where valves are being transplanted with minute 5 to 6 mm cuts. He has successfully performed 4 surgeries in last 4 months. 

Dr. US Agarwal of SMS medical college shared that Dr. Sharma has developed a technique of minute cut instead of femoral-femoral bypass surgery. 

At present in normal surgery, there are cuts in three places and a cut of 9 to 10 cm. There is a cut in the leg of about 10 cms which can close the limb artery or cause limb ischemia. In many countries like America, England, France etc surgeons are performing surgery with cuts in three places. 

Mini-thoracotomy technique -

This is a valve repair technique with minute cuts. A minute cut is placed on right side of the patient chest and there is no need for blood transfusion or any danger to the leg. Recovery is quick and the cost is also less. It takes two to three hours to change one valve. 

Rajwanti from Kota 36 years and laadkanwar from Nagpur had leak and shrinkage in both valves, Surendra from Jhunjunu had leak and shrinkage in aortic valve and Sunil from Kaner had both valves faulty. All these people got their lives back through mini-thoracotomy technique.
