The Centre of Excellence in Multi-Organ Transplantation is supported by the Intuitive da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System, an advanced platform designed to assist surgeons in performing complex minimally invasive procedures with enhanced precision, control and visualisation.

Robotic-assisted surgery uses high-definition three-dimensional imaging and highly articulated surgical instruments that allow surgeons to perform delicate movements through smaller incisions where clinically appropriate.Within transplant-related care, robotic technology may be used selectively for appropriate patients and procedures based on clinical requirements. Potential advantages of minimally invasive surgery can include smaller incisions, reduced tissue trauma, reduced post-operative discomfort and faster recovery for suitable patients.The decision to use robotic-assisted surgery is made after individual patient assessment by the transplant surgical team.
