Open-heart surgeries are considered surgical operations that require high precision and craftsmanship, so surgical robot technology was developed to help carry out these operations more accurately and effectively. The surgical robot allows the surgeon to make precise and precise movements thanks to the precise robotic arm and the advanced technology integrated into it, which reduces It reduces the possibility of human errors and increases the success rate of the operation.
The Heart Center at King Fahd University Hospital in Al-Khobar is one of the very few centers in Saudi Arabia that performs such operations, and the first center in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia to perform open-heart surgery using a surgical robot.
