Heart valve surgery is a medical procedure aimed at repairing or replacing damaged heart valves. The heart has four valves that help regulate blood flow, and when these valves do not function properly, it can lead to serious health issues. Surgeons may use techniques such as open-heart surgery or minimally invasive surgery to address the problem, depending on the severity of the valve condition. During the surgery, the surgeon may repair the existing valve by stitching it or may replace it with a mechanical or biological valve. Recovery time varies, but many patients can return to normal activities within a few months. This surgery is crucial for restoring proper heart function and improving overall health.
