Mayo Clinic heart surgeons work with an experienced surgical team to perform robot-assisted heart surgery. In this type of procedure, surgeons reach your heart through small incisions between the ribs of your chest. The exact maneuvers performed in traditional open chest operation are duplicated by the surgeon using robotic arms, rather than his or her hands. During this procedure, your surgeon works at a remote console and views your heart in a magnified high-definition 3-D view on a video monitor. From the remote console, your surgeon's hand movements are translated precisely to the robotic arms at the operating table, which move similarly to the human wrist. A second surgeon and surgical team assists at the operating table, changing surgical instruments attached to the robotic arms. To connect with other patients, visit Mayo Clinic Connect:
