Traditionally mitral valve surgery has been performed via median sternotomy. However, a renaissance in cardiac surgery is occurring. Cardiac operations are being performed through smaller and alternative incisions with enhanced technological assistance. Specifically, 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 Vinci(TM) telemanipulation system. This 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.
传统上，二尖瓣手术是通过正中胸骨切开术进行的。然而，心脏外科正在经历一场复兴。心脏手术正通过更小的替代性切口并借助增强的技术辅助来开展。具体而言，微创二尖瓣手术已成为许多外科医生的标准术式。在我们机构，我们利用达芬奇（TM）远程操作手术系统开发了一个机器人二尖瓣手术项目。该系统使外科医生能够通过小切口部位而非传统的正中胸骨切开术来进行复杂的二尖瓣手术。我们报告了我们的技术和初步结果，以及机器人心脏手术的发展简要概述。
