The MICS Difference

Keyhole Heart Surgery vs Traditional Open-Heart

The same surgical outcome — through a 5 cm incision, not a 25 cm scar. This is the standard in leading cardiac centres across Europe.

Factor Traditional Open-Heart Keyhole (MICS) Surgery
Prof. Shahrul's Approach
Incision ✗ 20–25 cm sternotomy scar ✓ 3–7 cm keyhole incision
Chest Bone ✗ Bone split (sternotomy) ✓ No bone splitting required
Hospital Stay ✗ 7–10 days ✓ 3–5 days
Recovery ✗ ~6 weeks to normal activity ✓ ~2 weeks to normal activity
Post-Op Pain ✗ Significant pain ✓ Significantly reduced pain
Infection Risk ✗ Higher sternal wound risk ✓ Reduced infection risk
