This study reviews the evolution of minimally invasive mitral valve repair, emphasizing the use of robotic platforms from 2005 to 2023. Analyzing 1,412 robotic repairs, it highlights improvements in outcomes, including reduced cross-clamp and bypass times and high repair durability. Degenerative disease was the most common indication, with 98.1% repair success and a ten-year survival rate exceeding 91%. The findings support robotic surgery as a durable, teachable, and safe option for mitral valve repair.
