The patient came to the hospital with a complaint experiencing breathlessness, heaviness in the chest, and tiredness for the last 2 years. She was not very comfortable with the traditional stenosis surgery, that's when Dr. Yugal Kishore Mishra and his team decided to perform a robotic mitral valve repair on the patient.

The doctors chose to proceed with a robotic MVR as robotic surgeries have proven to be one of the most effective methods and is beneficial for the patient. The doctors also used a Cor-Knot technology, which allows them to tie the knot in as little as 2-3 minutes, avoiding any unnecessary delays.

Therefore, a patient can recover within 2-3 weeks from the surgery, and the chances of infection are also minimal.
Commenting on the uniqueness of this case, Dr. Y K Mishra, Head, Cardiac Sciences and Chief Cardiovascular Surgeon, Manipal Hospital, Delhi said, "This case is unique as the patient was suffering from the condition right from the age of 5 years. On diagnosis, we found that her valve was also calcified like a stone, but as she did not want her chest bone to be split, we opted for robotic surgery to perform the mitral valve repair with accuracy. During this procedure, a small 3-inch cut underneath her breast was done to avoid her splitting of the sternum. Robotic surgeries can have a lot of benefits, they are not only beneficial for accuracy, but are also very cosmetically good as compared to conventional surgeries. The patient recovered quickly and was put off the ventilator support on the very next day. "
