Scar Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of the Cosmetic Outcomes of Totally Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery
Totally endoscopic cardiac surgery (TECS) is considered to have aesthetic advantages over conventional median sternotomy due to the smaller incisions. Most research regarding TECS focuses on clinical outcomes instead of cosmetic consequences. Following surgery, postoperative scarring is unavoidable and may negatively affect the patient's physical and emotional well-being. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the cosmesis after TECS.
Totally endoscopic cardiac surgery (TECS) is considered to have aesthetic advantages over conventional median sternotomy due to the smaller incisions. Most research regarding TECS focuses on clinical outcomes instead of cosmetic consequences. Following surgery, postoperative scarring is unavoidable and may negatively affect the patient's physical and emotional well-being. One previous study compared median sternotomy cardiac surgery and TECS in terms of the long-term cosmetic appearance of postoperative scars. They concluded that scars were considered more satisfactory, less painful, and itchy in the TECS group in the Chinese population. To our knowledge, this is the only study published regarding cosmetic consequences after TECS. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the cosmesis after TECS. ;
