Our team currently performs the world’s smallest incisions for mitral valve repair surgery using an endoscopic robotic approach with all percutaneous cannulation. Largest incision in the entire body is the 8mm working port (approx. the diameter of a pen) roboticheartsurgeon.com

Many meetings in cardiac surgery inform. Very few change what you do in the OR on Monday morning.
Join us for the inaugural State of the Art in Robotic Cardiac & Thoracic Surgery at @ClevelandClinic on July 17, 2026.
Focused on practical, hands-on innovation in:
• Robotic Mitral
• Robotic AVR
• TECAB
• Advanced Robotic Thoracic Surgery
Come advance your skills—and help shape what’s next in robotic surgery.

Small numbers of patients but dramatic results! “Early Surgery or Conservative Care for Asymptomatic Aortic Stenosis at 10 Years” | New England Journal of Medicine nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
This is wonderful!
Robotic cardiothoracic surgery is expanding fast — but what does mastery require beyond technical familiarity?
Join @CleClinicHVTI July 17 for a CME course exploring operative strategy, decision-making & program-building.

FYI, despite military trauma surgeons largely leading the narrative on Iraq/Afghanistan wartime surgical care, the vast majority of that was actually provided by general surgeons, ortho, and sub-specialists of surgery other than trauma. journals.lww.com/journalacs/…
