dc.description.abstract | Epworth Hospital is the first in the southern hemisphere to acquire the da Vinci Robot to facilitate minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Applications for this new technology include mitral valve repair, atrial septal defect closure, single coronary artery bypass graft to coronary arteries on the front of the heart, ablative surgery for atrial fibrillation and insertion of epicardial pacemaker electrodes. A team of surgeons from the Epworth Hospital have trained at East Carolina University (ECU) Greenville, North Carolina, USA; including surgeons, anesthetists, perfusionist and nurses. Following this, during a week in March, a proctoring surgeon from the USA, Dr. Wiley Nifong, assisted the Epworth team with their initial seven operations, which all proceeded without incident. The initial operative times were longer than the standard surgery, although with additional experience, now totalling 24 patients in all, these times have shortened considerably. The experience to date is summarized as an Addendum to this manuscript. | en |
