Robotic surgery utilizes advanced machines to aid surgeons operate on hard-to-access areas of the body with more precision. Robotic assistance during cardiac surgery improves patient outcomes, shorter recovery time, and less scarring.

NewYork-Presbyterian uses the latest robotic surgery technology to perform minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Our team of experts utilizes smooth and dexterous robotic instruments combined with a high-definition 3D camera to perform precise procedures through very tiny incisions. This allows for unmatched precision and the best possible patient outcomes.

Robotic cardiac surgery is offered at both Columbia and Cornell campuses.
