Robotic-assisted cardiac surgery
Heart and chest conditions can have a significant impact on your health, confidence and quality of life. When surgery is needed, robotic-assisted techniques can support a more precise¹ and carefully controlled approach.
At Spire Healthcare, your care is tailored to you. Using advanced technology alongside surgical expertise, we aim to deliver effective treatment while supporting a smoother recovery⁴ and helping you return to everyday life as soon as possible
How robotic-assisted surgery can help
Personalised planning
Your procedure is tailored to your individual anatomy, helping your surgeon work accurately around nerves, blood vessels and surrounding tissue.

Technology used in robotic-assisted cardiac surgery
At Spire Healthcare, selected cardiac procedures may be performed using the da Vinci robotic-assisted system.
This advanced technology provides your surgeon with a high-definition, magnified 3D view and finely controlled instruments, allowing them to operate with precision in small and complex areas of the chest. The system supports careful, controlled movements, which can be particularly beneficial in procedures where accuracy is critical.
Your surgeon remains fully in control throughout, using the technology to guide each step of the procedure and deliver safe, effective care.
Treatments and procedures
Coronary artery bypass graft
Coronary artery bypass surgery or heart bypass surgery is the most effective way to treat seriously clogged heart arteries, also called coronary heart disease (CHD). Surgeons use portions of healthy veins from elsewhere in the body to replace parts of the arteries in the heart that aren’t working properly to improve blood flow and oxygen supply.

Heart valve replacement is a surgical procedure that repairs or replaces a damaged heart valve, helping your heart pump blood effectively. It can relieve symptoms such as breathlessness, fatigue or chest pain, significantly improving long-term heart health.
