Currently, cardiac surgery is an evolving field. Not only has there been a technologic explosion, but there is also a strong interest in minimally invasive operations. Mitral valve surgery can now be performed with the use of sophisticated robotic systems through small incisions, and a review of recent advances is warranted.
Various groups have now documented that robotic valve surgery is feasible and safe. Despite an initial learning curve, facility with the procedure is gained with increasing experience.
Robotic mitral valve surgery is a procedure that is gaining widespread popularity. The patient of today and the future will demand minimally invasive operations. Initial clinical experience with robotic systems will allow further developments. Ultimately, this may result in completely endoscopic heart surgery.
目前，心脏外科是一个不断发展的领域。不仅出现了技术爆炸式发展，而且人们对微创操作也有浓厚兴趣。现在可以通过小切口使用先进的机器人系统进行二尖瓣手术，因此有必要对近期进展进行综述。
多个团队现已证明机器人瓣膜手术是可行且安全的。尽管起初存在学习曲线，但随着经验的增加，对该手术的熟练程度也会提高。
机器人二尖瓣手术是一种越来越受欢迎的手术。当今及未来的患者将需要微创操作。机器人系统的初步临床经验将推动进一步发展。最终，这可能会带来完全内镜下心脏手术。
