We started our journey on minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery at the Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) Hospital, almost 2 decades ago. We strongly believe that robotic surgery holds the answer for the future of minimally invasive surgery and we have incorporated robotic surgery as an important part of the modern treatment paradigm for our patients with heart and lung conditions. At RPA, our operating ethos is that a cardiovascular service centers around a strong and united surgical department that values collaboration and team building, fosters research and training, and supports its surgeons in perfecting their crafts, including robotics, minimally invasive techniques, transcather interventions and advanced therapies for complex aortovascular conditions. Together, we aim to deliver the future of cardiovascular care to our patients today.
