Robotic Heart Surgery - Robotic Surgery

Robotic heart surgery is one of the latest minimally invasive surgical techniques performed by a cardiac surgeon. Also known as closed chest surgery, the procedure has changed the way certain heart surgeries are being operated. A specially-designed console controls surgical instruments guided by precise motion control. With the help of robotic heart surgery, the surgeons can perform several complex heart surgical procedures with smaller incisions, which lead to perfection and improved outcomes.

Robotic heart surgery can be beneficial to perform:

• Atrial septal defect (ASD) repair
• Patent foramen ovale (PFO) repair
• Tricuspid valve repair (with mitral valve repair)
• Removal of cardiac tumors (Myxoma, Fibroelastoma)
• Mitral valve repair
