Celebrating 100 robotic surgeries!

We're proud to share that we've completed our 100th surgery using the da Vinci Surgical System.

The da Vinci Surgical System is used at St John of God Ballarat Hospital for urological, colorectal, thoracic, and upper gastrointestinal surgeries. It enables surgeons to operate through small incisions using advanced robotic instruments guided by a high-definition 3D camera system.

Urologist, Mr Robert Forsyth, who performed both our first and 100th procedures, says the technology has transformed the way complex surgeries are delivered.
