Abstract

Objective: All innovations in cardiac surgery provide us with new techniques to perform surgery through smaller incisions with less invasive and best cosmetic results. After promising results in minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS), pain and cosmetic appearance became important end points, especially for female patients. In the current study, we intended to evaluate the surgical results and cosmetic satisfaction with the periareolar and submammary incision types in cardiac surgery.
