什么是机器人心脏手术?
Robotic heart surgery is a technique that uses small chest incisions and precise surgical tools that are controlled by a robot. It allows our heart surgeons to perform cardiac surgeries through less invasive means than techniques that use a large incision.
手术中会发生什么
- First, your surgeon makes a few 1- to 2-centimeter incisions (cuts) in the right side of your chest.
- Then your surgeon inserts small surgical tools and a 3D vision camera through the incisions.
- Your surgeon controls a surgical robot to operate precisely and efficiently throughout the entire procedure.
Robotic heart surgery techniques improve your surgeon’s visibility so they can operate even more precisely without compromising the quality of the procedure.
Minimally Invasive Robotic 心 Surgery Procedures
We can use the da Vinci robot for several minimally invasive cardiac surgeries:

U of U Health is the first center in the Mountain West region to use the 达芬奇心脏手术机器人. We offer a full range of treatment options for multiple heart conditions. Our cardiovascular surgery experts work with multiple specialists to offer team-based treatment using every available technology.
Robotic surgery techniques promote excellent outcomes. Using the da Vinci robot for heart surgery dramatically reduces post-surgical complications such as infections, 失血, 和疤痕. It involves shorter hospital stays and allows for a much faster return to normal day-to-day activities.
Benefits of Da Vinci Robotic Cardiac Surgery
达芬奇机器人心脏手术 uses smaller incisions that don't require cutting through your sternum. 使用这种技术, we won't need to spread your ribs to reach your heart—a part of surgery that can be very painful during recovery. There are many additional benefits of robotic heart surgery:
- Fewer physical restrictions after surgery
- 更少的痛苦
- 更快的恢复
- 缩短住院时间

Candidate Criteria for Robotic 心 Surgery
In general, candidates for traditional heart surgeries are also candidates for robotic procedures. If you have severe cases of the following conditions, you may not be a good candidate for robotic heart surgery:
然而，每个病人都是不同的. Our team will strive to provide the least invasive and the best option for you.
如何准备手术
Your surgeon will give you specific instructions to prepare for robotic heart surgery. 通常, your surgeon will first review your medical history to determine if you’re a candidate for the procedure. You may also have diagnostic tests such as blood tests, CT扫描, or 超声心动图.
Tell your surgeon about all medicines and supplements you take. You may need to stop taking certain medicines, 比如血液稀释剂, 手术前很短的一段时间. You’ll need to stop eating or drinking by midnight the night before surgery.
机器人心脏手术风险
Robotic heart surgery has a much lower complication rate than other types of heart surgery. The risks of robotic heart surgery are similar to the risks of other heart surgeries:
There is also a very small risk that complications during surgery will require a surgeon to switch to an open-chest approach. Our heart surgeons will use multiple strategies to significantly lower your risk of complications.
机器人心脏手术康复
You can usually return home after around four days after robotic heart surgery. Hospital stays typically last a week for other types of heart surgeries.
You’ll also have fewer physical restrictions after robotic heart surgery. With traditional techniques, you’ll need to limit how much you use your arms for four weeks. With the robotic approach, you can return to your everyday activities within two weeks.
机器人心脏手术成功率
Robotic heart surgery has excellent success rates when compared with any other approach. Robotic valve repair for degenerative mitral valve disease has a success rate of up to 99 percent.
How to Schedule a Consultation with Our 心 Surgeons
