Robotic Mitral Valve Replacement
Robotic Mitral Valve Replacement is a minimally invasive heart surgery used to replace a diseased or damaged mitral valve using advanced robotic technology. This technique avoids traditional open-heart surgery and provides faster recovery, reduced pain, and improved surgical precision.
The mitral valve controls blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle. When it becomes severely damaged or leaky, replacement becomes necessary to restore normal heart function.
What is Mitral Valve Disease?
Mitral valve disease occurs when the mitral valve does not function properly due to narrowing (stenosis) or leakage (regurgitation). This leads to improper blood flow in the heart and may cause fatigue, breathlessness, and heart failure if untreated.
Symptoms
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue and weakness
- Irregular heartbeat (palpitations)
- Swelling in legs or feet
- Chest discomfort
Benefits of Robotic Mitral Valve Replacement
Minimally Invasive
No large chest incision, only small keyhole cuts.
Faster Recovery
Shorter hospital stay and quicker return to normal life.
Less Pain
Reduced post-operative pain compared to open-heart surgery.
How the Procedure is Done
Step 1
Small incisions are made between the ribs.
Step 2
Robotic instruments and camera are inserted for surgery.
Step 3
Damaged mitral valve is removed and replaced with a new valve.
Step 4
Heart function is checked and incisions are closed safely.
Who Needs This Surgery?
- Severe mitral valve stenosis
- Severe mitral regurgitation
- Valve damage due to infection or degeneration
- Failed previous valve repair
