Robotic Mitral Valve Repair
Robotic Mitral Valve Repair is an advanced heart surgery technique used to repair a damaged or leaking mitral valve using robotic precision without opening the chest bone. It offers faster recovery, less pain, and better cosmetic results compared to traditional open-heart surgery.
The mitral valve helps regulate blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle. When it becomes weak or leaky, repair is preferred over replacement whenever possible to preserve natural heart function.
What is Mitral Valve Regurgitation?
Mitral valve regurgitation occurs when the valve does not close properly, causing blood to flow backward into the left atrium. This can lead to fatigue, breathlessness, and reduced heart efficiency over time.
Symptoms
- Shortness of breath during activity
- Fatigue or weakness
- Palpitations
- Swelling in legs
- Dizziness
Benefits of Robotic Mitral Valve Repair
Valve Preservation
Natural valve is repaired instead of replacement.
Less Trauma
No sternotomy, only small keyhole incisions.
Quick Recovery
Faster healing and early discharge from hospital.
Procedure Steps
Step 1
Small incisions are made between ribs.
Step 2
Robotic system is inserted for high-precision surgery.
Step 3
Damaged valve is repaired using advanced techniques.
Step 4
Heart function is checked and surgery is completed safely.
Who Needs This Surgery?
- Severe mitral valve leakage
- Degenerative mitral valve disease
- Early-stage valve damage suitable for repair
