Robotic atrial septal defect closure and tricuspid annuloplasty in a case of situs inversus totalis with dextrocardia.
Journal of Robotic Surgery 2017 March
Situs inversus totalis (SIT) with dextrocardia is an uncommon congenital positional anomaly, which is characterized by a symmetrical 'mirror-image' orientation of all organs in relation to the midline. Although sternotomy and thoracotomy is traditionally used in patients with SIT with dextrocardia, a totally endoscopic robotic surgery is an alternative surgical approach to intracardiac anomalies. Placement of robotic ports, transthoracic aortic clamp, cardioplegia delivery, and peripheral vascular cannulation is made from the left side of the chest, as a mirror orientation of the right-sided robotic cardiac procedures. Here, we present a patient who underwent concomitant robotic atrial septal defect closure and tricuspid annuloplasty with posterior plication using the da Vinci surgical system.
