Robotic Cardiac Surgery
The most advanced surgical platform available — the Da Vinci Surgical System — now in Malaysia, led by Prof. Dr. Shahrul Amry Hashim.
Surgery at the Frontier of Precision
Robotic cardiac surgery uses the Da Vinci Surgical System — a state-of-the-art robotic platform that allows the surgeon to perform complex heart operations through tiny incisions, guided by a high-definition 3D camera and controlled from a precision surgical console.
Unlike traditional open-heart surgery — which requires splitting the breastbone — or even standard keyhole (MICS) surgery, robotic cardiac surgery offers an additional level of precision, stability and visualisation that represents the current pinnacle of cardiac surgical technology worldwide.
Prof. Dr. Shahrul Amry Hashim now performs robotic cardiac surgery on the Da Vinci Surgical System at KPJ Damansara Specialist Hospital 2 — one of the first programmes of its kind available to patients in Malaysia.
The Da Vinci Surgical System
Developed by Intuitive Surgical and used in leading cardiac centres worldwide, the Da Vinci system gives surgeons capabilities that go beyond what the human hand can achieve alone.
3D HD Vision
Up to 10× magnified, high-definition 3D view of the operative field — giving the surgeon far greater detail than the naked eye during open surgery.
Tremor Elimination
The robotic system filters out natural hand tremor in real time, ensuring every movement is smooth, controlled and precise — critical in delicate cardiac tissue.
Wristed Precision
Robotic instruments have 7 degrees of freedom — far exceeding the range of motion of the human wrist — allowing intricate movements in confined spaces within the chest.

What This Means for Patients
Robotic cardiac surgery builds on the benefits of minimally invasive surgery — delivering them with an additional layer of surgical precision and control.
