Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery.
Pak J Surg Jan ;26(2):182-3.

Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery is an operation through a small incision without compromising the quality of the procedure. The sternum is partially split leading to better cosmesis, less bleeding, less pain and quicker recovery. Generally no addition equipment is required without any added cost to the patient. We report a case of mitral valve replacement through mini-sternotomy.
