“…Compared with conventional sternotomy, totally thoracoscopic atrial septal defect closure without robotics technology assistance was associated with a faster recovery of physical functioning and better QOL. 18 Suri 19 found that robotically assisted mitral valve repair was associated with slightly improved early QOL and return to employment-based activities, compared with a conventional approach. Our data indicate that the robotically assisted myxoma excision led to a higher QOL and a significantly shorter length of stay and time to return to work, compared with the conventional sternotomy.…”

“…Over the past few years, the significant advantages of minimizing surgical trauma with assistance of endoscopy have resulted in a number of total endoscopic cardiac surgical procedures (6,11,14). Ma et al reported a singlecenter experience on total endoscopic closure for ASD without assistance of a robotic-surgical system (7,11,15). It has been reported that total endoscopic repair for ASD was associated with a faster recovery of physical function and a superior quality of life compared with conventional sternotomy (15).…”

Background: We previously reported the techniques for total endoscopic atrial septal defect (ASD) repair on hearts arrested with cardioplegia through three small incisions in the chest wall without aid of a surgical robotic system. The optimal results motivated us to use total thoracoscopic technology for ASD on perfused beating hearts. Methods: From 2010 to 2017, 161 patients with a mean age of 28.31±12.34 years who underwent nonrobotically assisted total thoracoscopic closure for ASD were included in this study, and those patients were also divided into two groups, including group A and group B. In group A, 115 patients underwent the procedure on beating hearts without aorta cross-clamped; in group B, 46 patients underwent the procedure on hearts arrested with cardioplegia with aorta cross-clamped. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was peripherally achieved as well. Results: Total thoracoscopic ASD closures were successfully performed without in-hospital mortality or other serious complications in all patients of both groups. Dacron or bovine patches were used in 81 and 32 patients in the two groups, respectively. Duration of operation, duration of CPB, aorta cross-clamped time, duration of mechanical ventilation, the length of intensive care unit (ICU) and post-operative hospital stay in group A, were all shorter than those in group B (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in blood transfusion during operation or post-operation thoracic drainage. During follow-up, echocardiograms at 3, 30, 90 and 365, showed no residual shunt or tricuspid regurgitation. Conclusions: Total thoracoscopic closure of ASD without assistance of a surgical robotic system on beating heart is safe and feasible and can be used as a therapeutic option for ASD, and by using the mentioned technique, less injuries are applied to patients.

“…Recently, several types of totally endoscopic ASD closure have been described. In terms of post-operative recovery and cosmetic results, these are superior to conventional median sternotomy [5]. However, our approach was required to have peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass, single-lung ventilation and longer cardiopulmonary bypass time.…”

Unroofed coronary sinus syndrome (URCS) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly. Recently, cardiac surgery using a minimally invasive approach has become the preferred treatment, affording better cosmetic results and a more rapid post-operative recovery than the traditional method. We report the case of a 54-year-old male in whom partial URCS was treated via a totally endoscopic repair technique featuring right mini-thoracotomy.
