A Range of Heart Surgeries
If you’re looking to receive heart surgery, then you are likely to benefit from Mr Almeida’s expert opinion and reassuring manner. He has vast experience in performing all these surgeries:
Mr Almeida was the first surgeon in Australia to perform Robotic or minimally invasive mitral valve surgery. Utilising the da Vinci system to perform minimally invasive mitral valve surgery through small incisions between the ribs, as opposed to a large open incision (median sternotomy) which comes with more risk and recovery.
Using the da Vinci Robotic-assisted surgical device he has a 3D view inside your body utilising instruments that bend and rotate much better than a human hand to give enhanced vision, precision and control. If you’re seeking a heart specialist in this area then Mr Almeida offers an authoritative and experienced voice in the field.
