Minimally invasive surgical techniques have been developed in order to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction. These minimally invasive techniques have been applied to numerous fields, including cardiac surgery. Currently, mitral valve repair and coronary artery bypass grafting are the most common procedures performed robotically. Numerous studies have shown that robotic technology provides similar outcomes to traditional surgery, which is much more invasive. However, there are numerous barriers to performing robotic surgery, including the cost of robotic systems and the steep learning curve associated with these systems. It is predicted that the indications for robotic cardiac surgery will increase as these limitations are addressed.
