Is upper eyelid surgery recommended if you have an irregular heart beat?
Yes. My sister-in-law has been treated for an irregular heart beat for 5 years now and just a month ago she had eyelid surgery and faired very well. The surgeon will get all the specifics on you (be sure to tell the surgeon the medications you are on) and when surgery is scheduled it's usually on an "out patient basis" meaning you can go home in a few hours after surgery. They will monitor you during the procedure (approx. 1 hour) and after the surgery.

Heart bypass surgery incision?
Minimally invasive heart bypass surgery is done without stopping the heart and putting the patient on a heart-lung machine. A 3 to 5 inch incision is made in the left part of the chest between the ribs. This incision is much less traumatic than the traditional heart bypass surgery incision which separates the breast bone. Minimally invasive heart bypass surgery allows the patient less pain and a faster recovery.Reviewed ByReview Date: 03/21/2009David C.

Open heart surgery?
DefinitionOpen heart surgery is any surgery where the chest is opened and surgery is performed on the heart muscle, valves, arteries, or other heart structures (such as the aorta). The term "open" means that the chest is "cut" open.A heart-lung machine (also called cardiopulmonary bypass) is usually used during open heart surgery. While the surgeon works on the heart, the machine helps provide oxygen-rich blood to the brain and other vital organs.The definition of open heart surgery has become confusing with new procedures being performed on the heart through smaller incisions. There are some new surgical procedures being done with the heart still beating.Newer techniques allow heart surgery to be done through much smaller surgical cuts than the large cut needed for open surgery.Your heart surgeon will make a 2-inch to 5-inch-long surgical cut in the chest wall. Muscles in the area will be divided so your surgeon can reach the heart. The surgeon can repair or replace a valve or perform bypass surgery.During endoscopic surgery, your surgeon makes one to four small holes in your chest. Then your surgeon uses special instruments and a camera to perform the surgery.During robot-assisted valve surgery, the surgeon makes two to four tiny cuts (about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch) in your chest. The surgeon uses a special computer to control robotic arms during the surgery. The surgeon sees a three-dimensional view of the surgery on the computer. This method is very precise.You will not need to be on a heart-lung machine for these types of surgery, but your heart rate will be slowed with medicine or a mechanical device.See also:Aortic valve surgery - minimally invasiveAortic valve surgery - openAtrial septal defect repairCardiac transplantCoarctation of the aorta repairCongenital heart defect corrective surgeryHeart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft - CABG)Heart transplantHeart valve surgeryHypoplastic left heart repairMinimally invasive heart surgery (MIDCAB, OPCAB, RACAB)Mitral valve surgery - minimally invasiveMitral valve surgery - openPediatric heart surgeryTetralogy of Fallot repairTotal anomalous pulmonary venous return correctionTransplant of the heartTransposition of great vessels repairTricuspid atresia repairTruncus arteriosus repairVentricular septal defect (VSD) repairAlternative NamesHeart surgery - open

Life After Gastric Bypass Surgery?
