Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery: State-of-the-art and our experience

2015

The minimally invasive approach is becoming the standard-of-care for surgery of the mitral valve. As any less invasive strategy, it entails an increased surgical complexity. Standard-of-care mitral repair using the totally videoscopic approach is indeed reproducible; however, few specific data on patients with complex mitral valve disease are available in the published literature. The purpose of the present paper is to provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art in minimally invasive cardiac surgery, and a summary of recent evidence on the topic, with particular regard to the surgical techniques and comparisons with conventional surgery. The experience of the GVM Care and Research n…

Comparison between Minimally Invasive Video-Assisted Thyroidectomy and Conventional Thyroidectomy: Is There Any Evidence-Based Information?

2008

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT) affords comparable safety and efficacy as to the open conventional surgery in dealing with patients with small thyroid nodules.Randomized controlled trials comparing the MIVAT with open thyroidectomy were ascertained by methodical search using Medline, Embase, Pubmed, and The Cochrane Library. Primary meta-analysis outcomes were adverse events (laryngeal nerve palsy and hypoparathyroidism), and cosmesis and secondary outcomes were operative time, blood loss, and early and late postoperative pain.Operative time was significantly less with open thyroidectomy than with MIVAT, while MIV…
