Re: Mitral valve repair surgery [rroof]

Cool - that Davinci Robot is pretty neat. Doesn't look like much, but ...

Local CT surgeon here (J. Michael Smith - also finished an IM) does lots of Davinci Robotic sx and did a friend valve/chord sx who is a good runner. He was back running pretty well at about 4 months post (age 49 when done I think).

Best of luck and speedy healing!

Thanks, yes that robot is pretty wild. I remember getting a quick look at it as I got onto the table. In my surgical report they use the terminology, "the patient was docked to the robot..." Pretty freaky.
