Lee Health offering endoscopic heart valve repair surgery
Lee Health completed the first fully endoscopic heart valve surgery through the smallest incision possible. The non-rib spreading technique causes less pain and provides for a faster recovery and shorter hospital stays, officials for the health system said. In this procedure, the surgeons look at the heart through the smallest incision possible utilizing a 3D endoscope, a device with a light attached to it that’s used to look inside a body cavity or organ. This precise level of visualization allows the surgeons to use their hands and tactile feedback for even more attention to detail. Lee Health is among the first health systems in the U.S. to use the RAM Device, an automated dual curved needle suturing device. The suturing tool is used to place stitches around the annulus of the aortic valve, mitral valve, or tricuspid valve with the smallest incision possible. Endoscopic valve repair can be used as an alternative to traditional open-heart surgery, which requires a sternotomy, cardiopulmonary bypass and other supporting procedures.
