Abstract
Objective: This review aimed to analyze and synthesize evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) compared to traditional surgical approaches. Methods: A search was conducted in major scientific databases, following specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, allowing for data extraction and analysis to identify patterns and trends related to MICS. Results: Findings revealed that MICS is associated with lower incidence of postoperative complications, shorter recovery time, reduced postoperative pain, and shorter hospital stay compared to traditional surgery. Moreover, MICS has shown to be safe, effective, and capable of providing satisfactory outcomes, contributing to improved surgical outcomes and quality of life for patients undergoing cardiac procedures. Conclusion: MICS is considered an effective and feasible technique with benefits such as shorter stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital, reduced surgical trauma, pain, and better postoperative recovery, thereby enhancing patient quality of life.
