More Precision. Less Incision.
Traditional Surgery Incision
Robotic Surgery Incision
Traditional open-heart surgery often requires a single long incision down the chest, which can lead to more pain and a longer recovery. In contrast, robotic-assisted cardiac surgery is performed through four to six small incisions—each typically less than an inch long. This approach minimizes disruption to surrounding tissue, reduces scarring and lowers the risk of complications.
With the da Vinci surgical robot, our surgeons gain a magnified 3D view of the heart and use finely controlled instruments to perform delicate procedures with exceptional accuracy. The result is a smoother recovery and better outcomes for many patients.

The da Vinci surgical system allows our cardiac surgeons to perform complex procedures through tiny incisions with enhanced control and visibility. Its robotic arms mimic the movement of a human hand, while a high-definition 3D camera provides a crystal-clear view of the heart. Your surgeon remains in full control throughout the procedure, guiding every movement with precision and care.
