A woman with rheumatic heart disease is recovering rapidly after robotic-assisted minimally invasive mitral valve replacement surgery. The 46-year-old patient can now walk, cycle, and perform light exercises just three days post-operation, experiencing significantly less pain and a faster return to daily activities. This advanced surgical technique, performed on May 3, avoids large incisions, reducing recovery time, infection risk, and scarring compared to traditional open-heart surgery.
