| Core Tip |
This meta-analysis compares robotic surgery to conventional sternotomy for cardiac myxoma excision, revealing that robotic surgery, using systems like the da Vinci surgical system, significantly reduces hospital stay by 1.86 days and blood transfusion needs (odds ratio = 0.30). Despite longer cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-clamp times, robotic surgery enhances recovery without increasing complications like atrial arrhythmia. These findings highlight robotic surgery’s potential as a minimally invasive alternative, offering improved outcomes for suitable patients. |
