Heart Surgery
Heart surgery is a frightening prospect for anyone. Few
people realise how much techniques have improved since surgery was
first used in the 1950s. Undergoing a heart procedure need not mean
spending weeks in hospital and months recuperating.
Increasingly, advances such as keyhole surgery are helping patients
recover more quickly. The risks associated with surgery and
anaesthesia have also declined, making it a good choice for people
whose health and quality of life would otherwise by compromised by
heart problems.
If you and your GP feel investigations are needed, these can be
carried out at Orwell Private Cardiothoracic Unit.
If you then need a complex procedure, you can choose to be
referred to our specialist cardiothoracic unit - Orwell Private
Cardiothoracic Unit in Essex. This offers many leading edge
interventions, carried out by nationally-renowned Surgeons and
Cardiologists.
