May New Surgical Techniques Set To Revolutionise Heart Surgery

(Adj) Professor Theo Kofidis introduces “The Singapore Correction,” a set of 12 innovative techniques aimed at standardising and simplifying mitral valve repair surgery. These intuitive methods reduce the risk of repair failures and make the procedure more accessible to less experienced surgeons, potentially lowering the threshold for successful mitral valve repairs. Inspired by Greek mythology and Roman architecture, these techniques enhance consistency in patient outcomes and have already
shown promising results in clinical applications, marking a significant advancement in cardiac surgery.
