Surgery is an effective treatment for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Minimally invasive HOCM septal resection/myectomy takes that one step further and uses robotic assistance to provide:
Much-improved surgical view than traditional open-heart surgery.
More accurate and complete septal resection.
Easy access to valve repair during the same surgery, if needed.
Small incisions, which reduce the risk of infection and speed your recovery.
No need to divide the sternum, reducing your pain and recovery time.
Dr. Thomas Molloy has saved hundreds of patients from unnecessary open-heart procedures (sternotomy) by performing robotic septal resections when appropriate for their condition, including:
In the following video, Dr. Molloy will walk you through the symptoms and treatments of HOCM and give you a firsthand view of how robotic-assisted septal resection is a safe and superior surgical solution for many people with HOCM.
