Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery in Navi Mumbai
Cardiovascular and thoracic conditions can quietly alter our lives. From the tightening of the chest to a sudden shortness of breath, symptoms escalate often before we even realize it. Cardiovascular diseases are responsible for an estimated 17.9 million deaths annually, according to the World Health Organization. In India, the statistics are equally alarming—over 28% of all deaths are attributed to heart and vascular-related conditions.
Dr. Rakesh Tirmale, an accomplished Cardiothoracic Surgeon at Terna Hospital, shares:
“Surgery is often seen as a last resort—but in many cases, it’s a beginning. Our goal is to provide surgical care that not only saves lives but also significantly improves quality of life. At Terna Hospital, we focus on patient-centric, minimally invasive approaches that allow quicker recovery and less disruption to daily living.”

- Chest Wall Tumor Removal:Includes resection of both benign and malignant masses in the rib cage and surrounding tissues.
- Mediastinal Tumor Surgery:Removes tumors from the central part of the chest cavity.
Surgical success doesn’t depend only on the surgeon—it’s also about the tools and technologies supporting them.
Advanced Surgical Technologies We Use
Dr. Rakesh Tirmale, an acclaimed cardiologist in Navi Mumbai, explains:
“Thoracic diseases like lung cancer, pleural effusion, and emphysema are on the rise due to urban lifestyles, pollution, and smoking. When these conditions become critical, advanced surgical intervention can be life-saving. At Terna Hospital, we invest in cutting-edge equipment to ensure precision, safety, and faster recoveries.”
Here’s a glimpse at what supports our cardiothoracic surgeons during each procedure:
1. Beating-Heart Surgery Equipment
Used in off-pump CABG procedures, this equipment allows us to operate on the heart while it’s still beating, reducing complications and hospital stay durations.
2. Robotic Surgical Systems
Enhance surgical accuracy through small incisions, especially beneficial for delicate thoracic procedures and valve surgeries.
3. Intraoperative Imaging Tools
Real-time imaging during surgery ensures accurate placement of grafts or excision of diseased tissue.
4. Hybrid Operating Theatres
These state-of-the-art rooms integrate surgical and imaging capabilities, allowing for seamless transitions between diagnostic and surgical procedures.
5. Thoracoscopic Cameras
Used in VATS, these allow visualization of the chest cavity with minimal disruption to surrounding structures.
Each technology plays a role in reducing patient risk, enhancing outcomes, and speeding up recovery times without compromising safety.
Surgery is just one step in a much longer journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What’s the difference between cardiology and cardiovascular surgery?
Cardiology focuses on diagnosing and treating heart diseases through medications and non-invasive techniques. Cardiovascular surgery involves surgical correction of structural heart or vascular problems.
2. Can I undergo heart surgery if I have diabetes or hypertension?
Yes, many patients with diabetes or high blood pressure successfully undergo heart surgery. These conditions are managed closely before, during, and after surgery to reduce risks.
3. What’s VATS in thoracic surgery?
Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat chest conditions. It involves small incisions and the use of a thoracoscope for internal visualization.
4. Can children undergo thoracic or heart surgeries?
Yes, children with congenital heart or lung abnormalities often require surgery, which is tailored specifically for pediatric physiology and recovery needs.
5. What lifestyle changes are required after heart surgery?
Post-surgery recovery includes:
- Eating a heart-healthy diet
- Engaging in supervised physical activity
- Taking medications consistently
- Avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol
- Managing stress effectively
