Background: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery has emerged as an alternative to conventional open surgery. This report reviews our experience with atrial septal defect using the da VinciTM surgical robot system. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 50 consecutive patients who underwent atrial septal defect repair using the da VinciTM surgical robot system between October 2007 and May 2011. Among these, 13 patients (26%) were approached through a totally endoscopic approach and the others by mini-thoracotomy. Nineteen patients had concomitant procedures including tricuspid annuloplasty (n=10), mitral valvuloplasty (n=9), and maze procedure (n=4). The mean follow-up duration was $16.9{\pm}10.4$ months. Results: No remnant interatrial shunt was detected by intraoperative or postoperative echocardiography. The atrial septal defects were mainly repaired by Gore-Tex patch closure (80%). There was no operative mortality or serious surgical complications. The aortic cross clamping time and cardiopulmonary bypass time were $74.1{\pm}32.2$ and $157.6{\pm}49.7$ minutes, respectively. The postoperative hospital stay was $5.5{\pm}3.3$ days. Conclusion: The atrial septal defect repair with concomitant procedures like mitral valve repair or tricuspid valve repair using the da VinciTM system is a feasible method. In addition, in selected patients, complete port access can be helpful for better cosmetic results and less musculoskeletal injury.

비디오흉강경수술은 조직에 손상을 덜 주고, 통증완화 및 미용효과가 우수하며, 환자의 회복이 빠른 장점이 있어 흉부외과 영역에 광범위하게 적용되고 있다. 그러나 2차원 평면이미지의 한계, 내시경기구들의 제한된 움직임 등의 단점이 있어 이를 극복하고자 많은 기술적 발전이 이루어져 왔으며, 이 중 현재 가장 앞선 것이 다빈치 수술로봇(da $Vinci^{TM}$ Surgical System)이다. 구미에서는 이미 많은 기관에서 다빈치 수술로봇을 이용한 수술이 시행되고 있으며, 국내에는 2005년 5월 연세대학교 의과대학 세브란스병원에 도입된 후 7월에 식품의약품안전청의 승인을 받아 수술에 이용되기 시작하였다. 저자들은 전종격동에 발생한 기형종에 대하여 다빈치 수술로봇을 이용한 종양적출술을 성공적으로 시행하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

The postoperative respiratory complications such as pneumonia and ARDS, are poor prognostic factors after esophagectomy in patients with esophageal cancer. To avoid these complications, there have been attempts to use minimally invasive approach. Recently introduced daVinciTM S surgical system is used in esophagectomy because of its advantages of minimal invasiveness, clear 3-dimensional imaging and precise handling of robotic arms. We report a 83-year-old esophageal cancer patient who underwent daVinciTMS robot-assisted esophagectomy, laparoscopic stomach mobilization followed by cervical esophagogastrostomy.
