For the first time in the history of the country and Central Asia, a robotic heart surgery has been performed at the Medical Center Hospital of the President’s Affairs Administration of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The procedure was performed by cardiac surgeons of the Medical Center Hospital together with a team of specialists from the People's Republic of China as part of an International Scientific and Practical Conference.
The patient is a 28-year-old woman with a congenital heart defect (atrial septal defect). The surgery was conducted using a latest-generation robotic surgical system. The intervention was carried out via a minimally invasive approach, eliminating the need for a traditional sternotomy. The patient’s condition is assessed as stable. According to the Medical Center, this operation marks a significant milestone in the development of high-tech cardiac surgery and the strengthening of international cooperation in the field of medicine.
Consultations by international specialists also took place during the conference. Together with the Hospital's cardiologists, patients were seen by Olga Nikolaevna Dzhioeva, Doctor of Medical Sciences, cardiologist, and specialist in functional diagnostics (Moscow).
In addition, consultations were held by Professor Jeon Yungwoo, Head of the Hematology Department at Yeouido St. Mary's Hospital (Yeouido, Japan)*, who examined nine patients.
It is worth recalling that a major International Scientific and Practical Conference has concluded in Astana. Its program included discussions on current issues in cardiac surgery, oncology, nuclear medicine, neurosurgery, internal medicine, digitalization, pharmaceutical regulation, nursing, as well as leadership and quality management in medical care.
