ABSTRACT: Traditionally, cardiac surgery has been performed by median sternotomy. How-
ever, a renaissance is occurring. Cardiac operations are being performed through smaller and
alternative incisions with enhanced technological assistance. Both coronary artery bypass graft-
ing and valve surgery can be accomplished with this novel methodology. Specifi cally, minimally
invasive mitral valve surgery has become standard for many surgeons. At our institution, we have
developed a robotic mitral surgery program with the da VinciTM telemanipulation system. Th
is
system allows the surgeon to perform complex mitral valve operations through small port sites
rather than a traditional median sternotomy. Our techniques and initial results are reported, as
is a brief overview of the evolution of robotic cardiac surgery.
KEY WORDS: cardiac, surgery, robotic
