Hi guys,
I had been reading a lot of threads lately from this blog! thanks to all fantastic users for sharing it all for all of us. the blog has helped me a lot in updating my knowledge and concern.
I am recently detected with Valvular disorder i.e. Mitral Valve prolapse(degenerative one) and severe 4/4 mitral valve regurgitation, I am asymptomatic. I had consulted a few surgeons in India and they have advised me to go for a repair/replacement at the earliest as my heart is in dilation mode now. But before going for a surgery I would like to know few thinks like:
:confused2: Which surgery technique I should opt for in minimal invasive? the robotic one or endoscope one and why? One surgeon has also suggested me to go for open chest surgery.??
:confused2:The criteria for selecting the surgeon in case I go for MICS?? Or Pl tell me if anyone knows who are the best MICS surgeons in India for MV repair?
:confused2: In case repair is not possible as told by the surgeons, they said they will replace the valve, which they will decide on the Operation Table, In that case Pl suggest me which valve I should opt for and why? I am 31 & presently living with my beautiful wife and two kids.
:confused2: How is life after surgery?? longevity of MV repair/replacement?
regards,
Abhishek
