A floppy or leaky mitral valve is an underappreciated disease that can be effectively repaired by mitral valve surgeons in specialized centers. Patients generally experience significant improvement in symptoms after surgery and should expect a near normal life expectancy.
Robotic surgery helps surgeons operate more precisely and in smaller spaces. Incisions can be smaller, which accelerates healing.
Gynecologic surgeries can be performed using a minimally invasive approach, including hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, and even robotic assisted surgery.
Women face unique risks, warning signs and symptoms of heart disease. Here's what women—and men who care about them—need to know about this condition.
