Revolutionary Robotic Heart Surgery at Baptist Health Miami: Faster Recovery, Better Outcomes
Baptist Health Miami Pioneers Minimally Invasive Robotic Cardiac Surgery
Baptist Health Miami is setting a new standard in heart care with its advanced robotic cardiac surgery program. This innovative approach allows skilled surgeons to perform complex heart procedures through tiny incisions, resulting in significantly reduced trauma and a dramatically faster recovery for patients.
The Benefits of Robotic Cardiac Surgery
Traditional open-heart surgery often involves large incisions, extended hospital stays, and lengthy recovery periods. Robotic cardiac surgery offers a compelling alternative, providing numerous benefits:
- Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions lead to less pain and scarring.
- Reduced Trauma: Less tissue damage translates to a lower risk of complications.
- Faster Recovery: Patients typically experience a quicker return to normal activities.
- Shorter Hospital Stay: Many patients are able to return home within days of the procedure.
- Enhanced Precision: The robotic system provides surgeons with enhanced dexterity and visualization, leading to improved surgical accuracy.

- Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
- Mitral Valve Repair or Replacement
- Aortic Valve Repair or Replacement

Dr. Hashimoto on the Impact of Robotic Surgery
“Robotic surgery allows us to treat serious heart conditions with minimal trauma to the body,” explains Dr. Hashimoto, a leading cardiac surgeon at Baptist Health Miami. “The difference in recovery time is remarkable. Patients often go home within days and are back to normal activities within one or two weeks, compared to the six weeks or more required for traditional heart surgery. This improved quality of life is a significant advantage for our patients.”
