New Findings on Surgical Technology Described by Investigators at Department of Cardiac Surgery (Implementation of Robotic Coronary Surgery After Established Mitral Robotic Program).

A recent study conducted in Bergamo, Italy, has explored the implementation of robotic coronary surgery after a successful mitral robotic program. The researchers found that the use of the Da Vinci X Surgical System in coronary surgery was safe, feasible, and reproducible after sufficient training. The study involved 33 patients who underwent coronary artery revascularization surgery, and the outcomes were promising, with no mortalities within 30 days and at 1 year of follow-up. The researchers concluded that initiating a program in robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass surgery can be effectively achieved with a well-established background in the use of the Da Vinci X Surgical System.
