The role of robotic technology in minimally invasive surgery for mitral valve disease.

PMID: 34325594

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Robotic mitral valve surgery has developed for more than 20 years. The main purpose of robotic assistance is to use multiwristed instruments for surgical endothoracic maneuvers on the mitral valve without opening the chest. The surgeon controls the instruments remotely from a console but is virtually immersed into the operative field.
