For people who need a mitral valve repair, studies
have shown that robotic surgery may be better than other
minimally invasive approaches for many reasons – it is
associated with less bleeding, trauma, chance of infection,
and need for blood products.

Florida surgeons use a state-of-the-art robotic surgical
system that has been approved by the FDA for use in
many surgical procedures.
Using the robot offers the surgeon a wider range of
motion and more precision in employing the surgical
instruments, along with a more detailed, magnified 3-D
view of the surgical field than in an open procedure. The
robotically assisted technique utilizes incisions that are
often less than 2 inches – smaller than the incisions used
for conventional minimally invasive surgery (about 3 to
4 inches).
Transcatheter Valve Replacement (TAVR)
Open procedure valve replacement has been the
standard of care for most patients with aortic stenosis.
However, in recent years the minimally invasive
transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure
has revolutionized management of this condition. It is
now a treatment option for some patients with severe
