Key result
Totally endoscopic left ventricular tumor resection without robotic assistance was successfully performed in all 4 patients with no mortalities or complications and complete tumor removal at 3 months.
Why the study?
The feasibility and safety of totally endoscopic resection of a left ventricular tumor through small chest incisions without robotic assistance remained to be explored.
Is totally endoscopic resection without robotic assistance feasible and safe for patients with left ventricular tumors?

Is totally endoscopic resection without robotic assistance feasible and safe for patients with left ventricular tumors?
Totally endoscopic left ventricular tumor resection without robotic assistance is a feasible and safe technique that achieves complete tumor removal while minimizing surgical trauma.
Xu et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Left ventricular benign tumor (n=4). Totally endoscopic left ventricular tumor resection without robotic assistance was evaluated on Feasibility and safety (successful resection, mortality, and complications). Totally endoscopic left ventricular tumor resection without robotic assistance was successfully performed in all 4 patients with no mortalities or complications and complete tumor removal at 3 months.
