Abstract

Robotic surgery has been applied to various fields in cardiac surgery. Despite excellent results published in the literature, critics have questioned procedure reproducibility, increased cost, and the real patient benefit. We reviewed 5 recent articles to show that robotic cardiac surgery likely will play an important role in the new era of cardiac surgery.
