RECOVERING FROM ROBOTIC HEART SURGERY
A couple of months ago I was suffering from chest pains. The doctors did all the regular tests and finally decided
that I needed a heart operation. It was unexpected, but it didn’t worry me so much at first. I thought that a few
weeks off from work was all that was necessary.
The real shock came when they explained that they were going to use a modern robotic arm to carry out the
surgery. The hospital had a new system called da Vinci that allowed doctors to operate on the heart without cutting
the chest open. Although I felt I could trust my doctors, placing my heart in the hands of a steel machine just
seemed like a different matter altogether. I wasn’t looking forward to it at all.
On the day of the surgery, I tried to keep as calm as I could. The operation itself lasted approximately thirty
minutes, and I was under general anaesthesia the whole time. The only thing I remember is the doctor saying that
the da Vinci system was more reliable than the finest doctor in the world.
When I woke up, I could understand why. There were hardly any signs of the operation at all. My chest didn’t
ache, and the marks I had were four tiny scars on my chest the size of peanuts. Best of all, they let me leave the
hospital after four days of important tests and resting. I can’t say that I’d ever like to do it again, but I’m certainly
a lot less scared of it now.

B. The robot makes its own decisions in the operation.
C. Robotic surgery avoids breaking the chest bone.
