Robotic Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery Training
Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery with the da Vinci System
A one-week programme at a university hospital in Istanbul combining theoretical sessions, live robotic cardiac surgery and outpatient follow-up, covering ASD closure, mitral valve and coronary surgery with the da Vinci system.
Duration 1 week · Theory, live surgery & follow-up

See robotic cardiac surgery in a university hospital
Robotic cardiac surgery, from patient selection to post-operative care, in one focused week.
The programme combines theoretical lessons with live robotic surgery and outpatient follow-up, giving you a complete view of how a robotic cardiac surgery programme works in daily practice.
Sessions cover ASD closure, mitral valve and coronary surgery, patient eligibility criteria, minimally invasive perfusion techniques and the anaesthetic considerations of robotic cardiac surgery.

One Week, Theory & Practice
The week combines theoretical sessions with live robotic surgery and patient follow-up.
Planning & Patient Selection
The principles behind a safe robotic cardiac programme.
- Patient eligibility criteria for robotic surgery
- Minimally invasive perfusion techniques
- Anaesthetic issues in robotic cardiac surgery
- Complications and their management
Live Surgery & Follow-Up
Robotic cardiac surgery in daily practice.
- Robotic ASD closure
- Robotic mitral valve surgery
- Robotic coronary surgery
- Outpatient follow-up and post-operative care
Training scope: Live surgery is followed in the operating theatre with the robotic cardiac surgery team under faculty supervision. Participation in clinical activities and in the operating theatre is determined by the supervising team in line with hospital rules and patient consent.
