  • Dr Kaushalendra Singh Rathore, Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital
    SCGH Cardiothoracic Surgeon's ground-breaking technique 12 February 2021 Dr Kaushalendra Singh Rathore, Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital has mastered the Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (MIDCABG) technique. Multi-vessel Coronary artery bypass is the most common cardiac surgery. Dr Rathore performs all his cases Off Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (OPCABG), where the patient’s heart does not need to be stopped. This practice is good for the patient as recovery is fast and outcomes are equivalent to on pump surgery. While most of the OPCABG is done through the front (sternotomy), while utilising the MIDCABG procedure Dr Rathore only needs to make a small incision on the left side of the chest meaning the incision is more cosmetic, less invasive, and surgery is done while the patient’s heart is beating with the help of vacuum suction stabiliser. The largest benefit of the MIDCABG techni...

  • Covid-19 Update
    Changes to Outpatient Pharmacy service delivery for metro patients 13 January 2021 The Outpatient Pharmacy at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital is transitioning to cease the metro post/courier service from 1 January 2021. The courier service to all patients commenced in March 2020 in response to COVID-19 (Coronavirus) to limit unnecessary flow of people through the hospital. Now with the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in Western Australia it is transitioning back to the pre-COVID service. There are no changes for our regional patients who will continue to have their prescriptions kept on file and have their medications delivered via post/courier. For detailed information about the options available please access the Outpatient Pharmacy update (PDF).
