[Towards the age of computer-assisted surgery: how to establish a robotic-assisted mitral surgery program with a last-generation platform].

Mitral valve therapy is rapidly evolving. In this context, there is a clear evolution towards the diffusion of minimally invasive techniques for surgical mitral valve replacement or repair, namely in the context of primary mitral regurgitation. The robotic-assisted mitral surgery strategy allows the greatest reduction in surgical trauma to the patients, as well as improved ergonomics and video-assistance for performance of the mitral procedure.
