Mitral valve repair using the daVinci surgical system after MitraClip failure

Abstract

Reports of mitral valve replacement after MitraClip removal have increased; however, surgical re-intervention is risky due to patients’ frailty and comorbidities. We report a case of mitral valve repair after MitraClip failure using the daVinci surgical system for a 55-year-old man with many comorbidities and two previous cardiac surgeries. The daVinci surgical system allows detailed handling with high-resolution visualization and endowrist instruments that provide surgeons with clear three-dimensional images and stabilized handling. This procedure enables us to remove the MitraClip precisely while preserving the mitral valve leaflet.

Accuracy and Security Analysis of a Cranio-Maxillofacial Plastic Surgery Robot Equipped With Piezosurgery in Genioplasty

“…Because of its minimal invasiveness, precision, and few complications, it is becoming increasingly widely used in clinical applications. [4][5][6][7][8] Craniofacial surgery robots are still in the research stage, 9,10 and their accuracy needs to be verified. In this study, we will use a craniofacial plastic surgery robot with piezosurgery to compare the accuracy of traditional clinical operations using the same proportion of plaster models for patients with defective chins who have received genioplasty.…”
