Robotic Mitral Surgery Starts in the UK

This great video documents the beginning of the first successful robotic mitral surgery program in the UK, by Paul Modi and proctored by Doug Murphy.

They use the LEAR technique–Lateral Endoscopic Approach for Robotics–which is a totally port-based approach to intracardiac robotic surgery. I am sure we will see many more videos from this group in the near future.
