Issue Date: | 2023 | Publisher: | SPRINGER INDIA | Source: | INDIAN JOURNAL OF THORACIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY, 39 (4) , p. 367-380 | Abstract: | ObjectiveMinimally invasive procedures have been developed to reduce surgical trauma after cardiac surgery. Clinical recovery is the main focus of most research. Still, patient-centred outcomes, such as the quality of life, can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of the surgery on the patient's life. This systematic review aims to deliver a detailed summary of all available research investigating the quality of recovery, assessed with quality of life instruments, in adults undergoing minimally invasive cardiac surgery.MethodsAll randomised trials, cohort studies, and cross-sectional studies assessing the quality of recovery in patients undergoing minimally invasive cardiac surgery compared to conventional cardiac surgery within the last 20 years were included, and a summary was prepared.ResultsThe randomised trial observed an overall improved quality of life after both minimally invasive and conventional surgery. The quality of life improvement in the minimally invasive group showed a faster course and evolved to a higher level than the conventional surgery group. These findings align with the results of prospective cohort studies. In the cross-sectional studies, no significant difference in the quality of life was seen except for one that observed a significantly higher quality of life in the minimally invasive group.ConclusionsThis systematic review indicates that patients may benefit from minimally invasive and conventional cardiac surgery, but patients undergoing minimally invasive cardiac surgery may recover sooner and to a greater extent. However, no firm conclusion could be drawn due to the limited available studies. Therefore, randomised controlled trials are needed. | Notes: | Claessens, J (corresponding author), Jessa Hosp, Dept Cardiothorac Surg, Stadsomvaart 11, Hasselt, Belgium.; Claessens, J (corresponding author), UHasselt Hasselt Univ, LCRC, Fac Med & Life Sci, Martelarenlaan 45, B-3500 Hasselt, Belgium. jade.claessens@uhasselt.be |
