Robotic Assisted Surgery in Adult Patient with Congenital Ventricular Septal Defect / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Robotic assisted surgery in adult patient with congenital ventricular septal defect Since December in 2005, we have done minimally invasive surgeries in selected cases of mitral valve diseases, tricuspid valve diseases, atrial septal defects and atrial fibrillations with the AESOP(TM) robotic arm. We have had a better surgical view and skill, according to accumulation of the experience of this procedure. Recently, we performed robotic assisted surgery in a 47-year-old female with congenital perimembranous ventricular septal defect.
