Open Heart Surgery vs. Keyhole Heart Surgery: A Comprehensive Guide for Patients Heart surgery is a critical procedure that can significantly improve the quality of life for those suffering from various cardiac conditions. As medical technology advances, patients now have more options when it comes to surgical approaches. This article will compare two main types of heart surgery: traditional open heart surgery and the newer keyhole heart surgery technique. There is no doubt that if you are suitable for keyhole heart surgery, and you choose to have the procedure conducted by highly specialised surgeons, you are likely to obtain an excellent outcome and recover more quickly than with traditional open heart surgery performed through the full sternotomy cut. Having said this, there are important pros and cons that you must be aware of when deciding on which treatment you prefer. LEARN MORE HERE: https://lnkd.in/eYasVnHE #heartsurgery

If you are considering surgery for a disc injury, but haven't tried more conservative care first.... consider this: Two More Studies Confirm Most Disc Herniations Resorb “The existing evidence shows that the overall resorption incidence of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) was 70.39%, the resorption incidence of ruptured LDH is higher than that of contained LDH."  Zou T, Liu XY, Wang PC, Chen H, Wu PG, Feng XM, Sun HH. Incidence of spontaneous resorption of lumbar disc herniation: a meta-analysis. Clinical Spine Surgery. 2023 Jul 31:10-97. Link “The probabilities of spontaneous regression [were)]: Bulging - 13.3% Protruded - 52.5% Extruded - 70.4% Sequestered - 93.9% Extruded and sequestered discs were also significantly more likely to completely regress than smaller morphologies."  Rashed S, Vassiliou A, Starup-Hansen J, Tsang K. Systematic review and meta-analysis of predictive factors for spontaneous regression in lumbar disc herniation. Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine. 2023 Jul 14;1(aop):1-8.
