[Various Considerations on Robot-assisted Cardiac Surgery].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
Robot-assisted cardiac surgery offers the most minimally-invasive approach to the surgical treatment of valvular heart disease and coronary artery disease. However, robot-assisted cardiac surgery is still far from being a standardized operation. We b...

[Current Situation of Robot-assisted Cardiac Surgery:Start-up and Ingenuity for Stabilizing Results].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
In Japan, the medical fee revision in April 2018 allowed insurance coverage for robot-assisted cardiac surgery for mitral and tricuspid valve plasty. We started robot-assisted mitral valve plasty by da Vinci system in June 2019. The artificial chorda...

[Current Status and Prospective of Robot-assisted Cardiac Surgery in Japan].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
Recently, in the field of minimally invasive approach, robotic technology has represented the latest development. Robot-assisted cardiac surgery has advantages against standard minimally invasive cardiac surgery( MICS) in terms of greater visualizati...

[Active Utilization of Robot-assisted Cardiac Surgery in Educational Institution].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery( MICS) has emerged in 1990s. Nowadays, MICS via mini thoracotomy became popular for valvular heart disease. Robot-assisted cardiac surgery was introduced with extension to MICS. Robot-assisted cardiac surgery for va...

[The Initial Learning Curve of Robot-assisted Cardiac Surgery].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
Initial 37 cases of robot-assisted cardiac surgery were reviewed. The early outcomes were favorable with low transfusion rate and no mortality, but some of the very early cases required reoperation after discharge. In our cohort, in terms of aortic c...

[Our Experience and Technical Improvement in Robot-assisted Cardiac Surgery].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
Since 2014, we have used the da Vinci surgical system to perform internal thoracic artery harvest in minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB), and since 2016, we have also performed robot-assisted cardiac surgery( RACS) for mitral an...

[Differences between Minimary Invasive Cardiac Surgery and Robot-assisted Cardiac Surgery in Mitral Valve Repair].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
It has been more than 10 years since the introduction of small-incision surgery for cardiac valvular disease. The so-called minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) techniques avoid the need for sternotomy, but they are still not considered standard...

[Tips for Successful Robot-assisted Mitral Valve Repair].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
Robot-assisted valve repair refers to an intervention added to conventional minimally invasive cardiac surgery( MICS), which is covered by national insurance since April 2018. However, currently, this procedure is performed only at a few hospitals, w...

[Current Status of Robot-assisted Cardiac Surgery in Japan].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
Endoscopic surgery has been introduced as a minimally invasive procedure in other fields. On the other hand, the introduction of surgical robots has made endoscopic surgery possible in cardiac surgery. Coronary artery bypass surgery includes minimall...

[Robot-assisted Cardiac Surgery Council and Current Status and Future Prospect of Robotic Mitral Valve Surgery in Japan].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
The Robot-assisted Cardiac Surgery Council (RACSC) was established in 2015, and consists of the members of three closely related surgical societies and associations. The RACSC conducts the review and approval of applicant surgeons and institutions. A...
