Armpit heart surgeries, @drsistem @profdrhakanpoyrazoglu
It can be made through a 6-8 cm incision under the armpit. Patients can walk a few days after surgery. In classical heart surgeries, the patient's frontal bone is cut and a long incision is made in the chest. In armpit heart surgeries, it is performed through a small incision made in the right armpit, by entering between the ribs, without cutting any bone or muscle, and without opening the anterior sternum. Thus, the probability of infection in this method is also low. Especially in women, the aesthetic anxiety that can be experienced due to the surgical scar is also eliminated.
