Article Synopsis
- Robotically assisted cardiac surgery is confirmed to be less invasive than traditional methods, leading to shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery times.
- All procedures were performed by one surgeon utilizing various advanced techniques, with significant findings observed in 32 patients treated between 2003 and 2004.
- Although there were some complications, overall improvements in operation time and hospital length-of-stay demonstrate the feasibility of a robotic cardiac surgery program in a dedicated institute.
