Robotic TECAB Surgery
Robotic TECAB (Totally Endoscopic Coronary Artery Bypass) is an advanced minimally invasive heart bypass surgery performed using robotic technology through tiny keyhole incisions without opening the chest bone. This modern surgical technique offers faster recovery, reduced pain, minimal scarring, and improved precision compared to conventional open-heart surgery.
Using advanced robotic systems with high-definition 3D visualization, surgeons can perform highly accurate coronary artery bypass procedures while minimizing trauma to the body.
What is Robotic TECAB?
TECAB stands for Totally Endoscopic Coronary Artery Bypass. It is a robotic-assisted bypass surgery performed entirely through small incisions between the ribs without the need for sternotomy (opening the chest bone).
During the procedure, robotic instruments and a tiny high-definition camera are inserted through small ports. The surgeon controls the robotic arms from a specialized console, enabling precise and controlled surgical movements.
Conditions Treated with Robotic TECAB
- Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
- Blocked coronary arteries
- Chest pain (Angina)
- Single or multiple artery blockages
- Patients requiring coronary artery bypass surgery
- Patients seeking minimally invasive heart surgery options
Benefits of Robotic TECAB Surgery
Minimally Invasive Procedure
Surgery is performed through tiny keyhole incisions instead of a large chest opening.
Faster Recovery
Patients usually recover faster and return to daily activities earlier.
Less Pain & Smaller Scars
Smaller incisions reduce post-operative pain, bleeding, and visible scarring.
Reduced Infection Risk
Since the chest bone is not opened, the risk of infection and complications is significantly lower.
Shorter Hospital Stay
Most patients experience shorter ICU and hospital stays after robotic TECAB surgery.
Enhanced Surgical Precision
Robotic systems provide high-definition 3D visualization with highly precise movements.
How is Robotic TECAB Performed?
- Small incisions are made between the ribs.
- Robotic instruments and a camera are inserted through these ports.
- The surgeon controls the robotic system from a specialized console.
- Healthy blood vessels are used to bypass blocked coronary arteries.
- The surgery is completed without opening the chest bone.
Who is a Suitable Candidate for Robotic TECAB?
Robotic TECAB may be suitable for patients who:
- Have blocked coronary arteries
- Need coronary artery bypass surgery
- Prefer minimally invasive treatment options
- Are medically fit for robotic-assisted surgery
- Want quicker recovery and reduced post-operative discomfort
A detailed cardiac evaluation including angiography, echocardiography, and other investigations is required before planning robotic TECAB surgery.
Recovery After Robotic TECAB
Recovery after robotic TECAB is generally much faster compared to traditional open-heart surgery. Patients usually experience less pain, smaller scars, reduced hospital stay, and an earlier return to routine life.
Cardiac rehabilitation, medications, healthy diet, and lifestyle modifications are recommended after surgery for long-term heart health.
