Robotic Heart Bypass Surgery Experts

Think heart bypass surgery requires cracking your chest open? Think again. The world-class cardiac surgical team at the University of Maryland Medical Center performs an extremely unique and completely robotic heart bypass surgery that requires just three tiny incisions. UMMC is the second hospital in the United States which has performed this minimally invasive procedure with the da Vinci surgical robot on patients needing three or more bypasses.

The da Vinci robot allows our surgeons to perform precise, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery beyond that of which human hands are capable. And the fact that our surgeons have done more than 400 robot-assisted heart surgeries, including over 240 heart bypasses, is the sort of experience you want when faced with the need for heart bypass.

What does all of this mean for our patients? The benefits of robotic heart bypass surgery as compared to traditional bypass surgery include: fewer complications and faster recovery and return to normal activities, often within two to three weeks of surgery.
