About Cardiovascular Robotic Surgery Technology within surgeries has always been developing and advancing for success and efficiency. Robotic assisted surgeries specifically in cardiovascular surgery was exposed a little over a decade ago allowing for growth and advancement to present-day. Robotic assisted surgeries involve a surgeon and a computer console which controls robotic arms. This technology allows for smaller incisions and motion control during complex surgeries. Current Use Cardiovascular robotic surgery is used for surgeries that include narrow spaces and require precise placement of catheters. Surgeries include mitral and tricuspid valve repair, ablation of atrial fibrillation, removal of cardiac tumors, and atrial septal defect (ASP)/patent foramen ovale (PFO) repairs. Robotic assisted surgeries are selective when choosing patients, most have to go through diagnostic tests and echocardiograms. Various types of diseases call for different methods and treatments when going under robotic surgery.

Ethical and Social Implications Some may argue that the safety of patients will be at risk due to the technological use for surgery, whilst others may fully support the advancement. When regarding safety, the selling of products is regulated by the FDA and through the approval of the FDA can surgeons practice using technology like robots during surgery. Manufacturers must convince and provide credible evidence that these machines are safe and reliable in surgery setting. Approval from the FDA may take time to allow manufacturers to sell. However, the cost of these instruments are pricey which is a concern for the widespread of robotic surgery.

Future Use Technology is constantly changing and improving overtime and although there have been major advancements, there is still much left. The control of using more than two robotic arms has proved to allow surgeons become their own assistant. However, present-day robots have limitations that prevent the use of robots in every surgery room. FDA approval is a process in which has been a challenge for manufacturers as well as the price they sell for. Although the technology and efficiency may improve over the years there are still realistic factors that must be taken into account to welcome robot-assisted surgeries world/nation-wide.
