Over a decade ago HCA Healthcare UK was the first independent provider in the UK to carry out a TAVI procedure. This is a minimally invasive type of cardiac procedure to treat aortic stenosis, which works by replacing a narrowed aortic valve to improve blood flow in the heart. Since then, we’ve continually developed our cardiac services across our hospitals and today we carry out more cardiac procedures than any other independent provider. Earlier this year we extended our cardiac department to The Harborne Hospital, and this week structural heart specialists, Professor Sagar Doshi BSc MBChB FRCP MD FACC and Dr. Adnan Nadir MD FACC FESC, along with our theatre team, carried out the first TAVI procedure at the hospital. “It’s a privilege to be able offer patients access to TAVI and other innovative cardiac procedures at The Harborne Hospital. We were able to carry out the procedure under conscious sedation, rather than general anaesthetic, and the patient was able to go home the next day. "The hybrid theatre here is equipped with the latest technology, and the theatre and nursing team are committed to providing the highest quality of surgical and post-operative care. This means we can carry out both routine and complex procedures. As a consultant it’s very reassuring to know that my patients have access to this level of treatment and care.” Prof Sagar Doshi, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist and TAVI Director.

Last week we hosted our first robotic-assisted surgery observation day, led by Mr El-Gizawy in collaboration with Intuitive. Mr El-Gizawy and our theatre team welcomed surgical colleagues from University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, to observe 4 gynaecological surgeries using the da Vinci Xi robot. These included robotic assisted hysterectomies, myomectomy and surgical treatment for endometriosis. “It is a real privilege to offer observational opportunities to colleagues who want to train in robotic-assisted surgery. Training more surgeons means that more patients can benefit from this minimally invasive surgical technique.” A huge thank you to our theatre team and Mr El-Gizawy for sharing their expertise.

Today we’re sharing Graeme’s story. Shortly before his 70th birthday Graeme began experiencing stomach pain and visited his GP. After some tests, he received an unexpected and incidental diagnosis of prostate cancer. Graeme sought the expertise of Mr Peter Cooke, Consultant Urological Surgeon, and was the first patient to be operated on using the da Vinci Xi robot at The Harborne Hospital. “Mr Cooke was great and went through what the procedure entailed…The benefits of having robotic assisted surgery were explained as being more precise, less invasive and having a faster recovery time. The expertise and experience of Mr Cooke gave me absolute re-assurance that this was the best option for me.” Following his surgery Graeme was able to go home the next day and is looking forward to making a full recovery.
