Precision Cardiac Surgery, Unfolded! I’m delighted to invite you to our next @ISMICS webinar. The future of cardiac surgery is already knocking at the door. Its promise extends beyond smaller incisions enabled by cameras and robots: it is about reducing uncertainty, making the quality of care more consistent, and streamlining the entire treatment journey. Surgical craftsmanship remains essential. Precision surgery builds on that expertise by embedding quality in a structured, reproducible process: Select → Prepare → Plan → Simulate → Operate → Care Precision surgery is neither a single technique nor a device. It is a coordinated approach delivered by dedicated teams and supported at every stage by data, technology and, increasingly, algorithms. The benefit of a small incision is only fully realised when the whole journey around it is precise. Join us to explore precision cardiac surgery in practice. Register for the ISMICS webinar
