Mayo Clinic Minute: Robotic mitral valve surgery

Jan 31, 2020

It’s surgery to repair the valve leading to the largest chamber in your heart, the mitral valve.

But for more than a decade, heart surgeons at Mayo Clinic also have performed a less-invasive mitral valve surgery, using a robot.

Patients treated robotically enjoy a more rapid recovery. And after performing nearly 1,000 of these procedures, the success rate at Mayo Clinic is 99%.

AI, surgical automation, machine teaching & the future of (robotic) surgery

Sep 15, 2020

Prakash Gatta, surgeon, Esophageal Surgery, MultiCare Health System

Abstract:
“Robotic Surgery” or “Digital Surgery” are now not just fanciful yet expensive tools to make us better surgeons but are now the nerve center of the OR-where this hardware (now powered by AI) is a central hub of collecting data (how good is the surgeon performing), a predictor of surgical outcomes (the “robot” calculates a higher than average Anastomotic failure (leak) rate becuase the surgeon took 40% longer than average), a teacher of sorts (providing helpful intraoperative guardrails & “lane departure warning systems” to guide the student or novice about any deviation from the gold standard operation) and ultimately (under the real surgeons watchful eye) will perform certain segments of the (anastomoses) where the complications lie.

Surgical Robot Transformer Demo
Nov 11, 2024

A robot, trained for the first time to perform surgical procedures by watching videos of robotic surgeries, executed the same procedures—but with considerably more precision. The successful use of imitation learning to train surgical robots eliminates the need to program robots with each individual move required during a medical procedure and brings the field of robotic surgery closer to true autonomy, where robots could perform complex surgeries without human help.

How AI and robots are shaping the future of surgery

Jan 20, 2026

In this episode of Health Tech Untapped, we sit down with two leaders shaping the future of surgical innovation: Dan Stoyanov — VP R&D, Surgical AI, and George Murgatroyd — VP and General Manager, Digital Technologies at Medtronic.
Together, they break down how artificial intelligence and digital tech are transforming surgical procedures.

We explore:
  • How are surgeons using digital tools — just like elite athletes — to improve precision and performance?
  • What role do AI and surgical robots play in minimally invasive surgery?
  • How does empowering surgeons with technology lead to greater peace of mind for anxious patients?
  • How is global innovation — from London and beyond — reshaping healthcare?
