MITRAL-VALVE REPAIR

The greatest service that surgeons can provide for patients is to rest ore the function of diseased or injured parts. The principle followed is that once anatomical form is restored, then physiological recovery will follow, thus surgeons must understand the anatomy, physiology and pathology involved. They must also know the limits of the technology available and their own practical skills, so that judgment as to what is and is not possible allows avoidance of mistakes.
