The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome after robotically assisted @entity3291 surgery performed at our institution. Altogether nine @entity1 underwent robotically assisted @entity4615 . A control group was selected from 18 consecutive @entity1 who underwent an isolated @entity4615 via conventional sternotomy. Preoperative @entity1 characteristics were similar between the two study groups. Postoperative health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was also evaluated. All robotic operations were completed successfully using the da Vinci    telesurgical system. There was no mortality in either of the two study groups. Procedure, cardiopulmonary bypass, @entity432 , and ventilation times were shorter in the sternotomy group when compared to the robotic group. Length of stay was statistically significantly shorter in the robotically assisted group. Postoperative quality of life did not differ between the two study groups. We conclude that robotically assisted surgery is a feasible method for treating @entity4615 .
