Revolutionary Heart Surgery Through Keyhole Incisions

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) represents the future of heart surgery, and Dr. Sudarshan GT brings this advanced technology to patients in Bangalore. As a leading minimally invasive cardiac surgeon in Bangalore, Dr. Sudarshan has transformed the lives of thousands through precision robotic surgery and endoscopic techniques.

Unlike traditional open-heart surgery that requires a large chest incision and breastbone splitting, MICS surgery uses small 2-4 cm keyhole incisions to access the heart between the ribs. This revolutionary approach results in significantly less pain, faster recovery, and superior cosmetic outcomes.
