Atrial Septal defect or ASD is a hole in the heart in the Atrial chambers of the heart. ASD or Atrial Septal defect is a congenital heart defect in children born with such holes. With modern-day development in surgical sciences, these holes are easily treatable.
Types of ASD Closure Surgery:
There are 2 types of procedures for ASD closure –

Surgery for ASD Closure – Surgery for ASD closures is done by Pediatric Cardiac Surgeons.  During this surgery, the Pediatric Cardiac Surgeon closes the hole by stitching a tissue patch around the hole.
Device Closure for ASD – The device closure procedure for ASD is done by Pediatric Cardiologists. During this procedure, A device is inserted with the help of a catheter to the location of the hole. Once it reaches the hole, the device is opened and made to stick around the hole in a manner that it gets closed completely. This procedure is done without the usage of any blood product unless there is an emergency.

The choice of the procedure from the above 2 depends upon how big the hole is and the chances of a better prognosis.
Open Heart Surgery for ASD (Surgical)
In open-heart surgery for ASD, the hole in the heart is closed by making a tiny hole through the chest, inserting an endoscope the hole is closed with sutures and a special tissue patch. Surgery is chosen for heart holes that are bigger in size. The defect may be closed with stitches or a special patch.

In the Device Closure (Non-surgical) technique cardiac catheterization is used to put a special device (septal occluder). The device stops blood from flowing through the VSD. A catheter is inserted through the groin and the device is inserted through the catheter and is left over the hole to close it. This procedure is chosen for small-sized holes.

ASD Closure is a routine and regular procedure in India done by Paediatric Cardiac Surgeons. These Cardiac Surgeons specially trained to do Paediatric Cardiac Surgeries operate in some of the best hospitals in India for heart hole closure. The other routine pediatric Cardiac surgeries done at the Indian Hospitals are TOF Surgery(surgery for tetralogy of Fallot),VSD Closure surgery (surgery for Ventricular Septal Defect), and PDA surgery (Surgery for patent ductus arteriosus).

The procedure is safe if done by an experienced doctor at a good cardiac center.

A craniotomy is a procedure to excise or resect brain tumours. Specialized tools are used to remove the section of bone called the bone flap. The bone flap is temporarily removed and then the expert neurosurgeons remove the tumours. Once the tumour is removed, the neurosurgeons then replace the removed part of the skull bone.
