Key result
Minimally invasive and robot-assisted mitral valve surgeries are increasing in practice with satisfactory perioperative and mortality rates compared to traditional sternotomy, though long-term data is needed.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to examine current literature on the evolution of mitral valve surgery techniques and their impact on patient outcomes.
Does minimally invasive and robot-assisted mitral valve surgery improve postoperative morbidity, length of stay, and mortality in patients requiring mitral valve surgery compared to traditional midline sternotomy?

Robotic and minimally invasive mitral valve surgeries offer satisfactory perioperative outcomes and reduced length of stay compared to traditional sternotomy, but require large randomized trials to confirm long-term benefits.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the current literature behind the evolution of mitral valve surgery techniques and their impact on patient outcomes. METHODS: An electronic literature search among major databases was performed (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane, and Google scholar). All the relevant articles were screened and identified to be included in this narrative review. The main outcomes were postoperative morbidity, length of in-hospital stay, and long-term mortality. RESULTS: Minimally invasive and robot-assisted approach to mitral valve repair and replacements has shown great potential in improving surgical outcomes when compared against traditional midline sternotomy. Selected patients can benefit from percutaneous mitral valve surgery; however, more evidence is required to ascertain its long-term outcomes. CONCLUSION: Current evidence suggests that robotic and minimal invasive mitral valve surgeries are increasing in practice with satisfactory perioperative and mortality rates. However, long-term data is yet to be published to support current practice.

Harky et al. (2019) conducted a review in Mitral valve disease. Minimally invasive and robot-assisted mitral valve surgery vs. Traditional midline sternotomy was evaluated on Postoperative morbidity, length of in-hospital stay, and long-term mortality. Minimally invasive and robot-assisted mitral valve surgeries are increasing in practice with satisfactory perioperative and mortality rates compared to traditional sternotomy, though long-term data is needed.
