>Summary: Surgeons have performed the first fully robotic heart transplant in the U.S., using advanced robotic tools to avoid opening the chest. This technique involved precise incisions and accessing the heart through the preperitoneal space, preserving the chest wall. Benefits of the robotic approach include faster recovery, reduced infection risk, and less blood loss, crucial for transplant patients on immunosuppressants. The 45-year-old patient recovered without complications and was discharged a month later.

Such a screwball technique. Not cracking the chest reduces trauma and blood loss but a transplant is a transplant and if that heart takes a shit on the table all bets are off.
