In developing countries, limited resources and low health budgets result in slow developments in the field of cardiac surgery.As a consequence, advances in surgery become a challenging process.In Colombia, most institutions do not have the capacity or infrastructure for minimally invasive and video-assisted cardiac surgery, let alone robotic assisted cardiac surgery (RACS).Despite the challenges, efforts to overcome these hurdles are critical for the future of cardiac surgery in low-income settings.Here we describe the first cases of robotic cardiac surgeries performed in Colombia.
