Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Thoracoscopic coronary surgery has advanced significantly with computer-directed instruments.
  • These systems enhance precision and mobility, overcoming limitations of traditional endoscopic tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the current state and future potential of computer-assisted instrument systems in thoracoscopic coronary surgery.
  • To highlight advancements in minimally invasive myocardial revascularization.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing modern surgical telemanipulators and endoscopic stabilizers for entirely endoscopic myocardial revascularization.
  • Performing off-pump surgery for anterior wall revascularization.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Successful entirely endoscopic myocardial revascularization of the anterior wall is feasible.
  • Longer operating times and conversion rates (approx. 20%) due to technical/anatomical issues remain challenges compared to conventional surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Computer-assisted systems have overcome many limitations of endoscopic cardiac surgery.
  • Further technological development, including video-assisted navigation, is expected to expand the application of these advanced surgical tools.
