In a US first, surgeons at Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center in Houston successfully performed a fully robotic heart transplant, replacing a failing heart without opening the chest or cutting the breastbone, using robotic tools to operate through small incisions.
The procedure reduced surgical trauma, blood loss, and infection risk, marking a major advance in transplant surgery by preserving the chest wall and enabling faster recovery, improved lung function, and lower chances of organ rejection.
The 45-year-old patient was discharged a month after the March operation without complications, with doctors calling the milestone a transformative moment.

LITTLE ELM- A flyer promoting a non-permitted beach party at Little Elm Beach began circulating on Snapchat and other social media platforms, encouraging high school students to gather at the park area near the Little Elm beach Saturday night.
As a result, a large crowd of juveniles arrived, and multiple mutual combat fights broke out throughout the park at approximately 8:00 PM. Officers from the Little Elm Police Department who were on scene monitoring the situation quickly requested assistance from surrounding agencies to ensure public safety. Reports from witnesses in attendance had stated that there were upwards of at least 1000 people and multiple fights had broken out after someone allegedly shot another person with a Taser. Witnesses indicate that there was a heavy police presence, along with other fire and emergency personnel. Various videos that are circulating on social media platforms show police officers armed with AR-style weapons patrolling on foot throughout the park.
At one point, reports were made that gunshots had been fired in the park. Residents in the nearby area had posted on social media outlets that they heard multiple gunshots from the area of the park, but the LEPD has not confirmed it. One juvenile was arrested, and other charges will be filed after completion of the investigation, according to the LEPD. Due to the disruptive nature of the gathering, the park was closed early for the evening.
