We perform cardiac surgery using the Da Vinci surgical robot, allowing for an early return to daily life.

Since 2018, we have performed approximately 100 robot-assisted cardiac surgeries annually, most of which are mitral valve repair procedures for mitral regurgitation.

By utilizing the Da Vinci surgical robot, we achieve high-quality valve repair with minimally invasive surgery that reduces the burden on the body. Our treatments are characterized by a wealth of clinical experience.
