About Robotic Surgery

Minimally Invasive Precision for Complex Abdominal Conditions
At WA Surgery, we offer robotic-assisted surgery using the da Vinci Xi surgical system, one of the most advanced platforms for minimally invasive operations. Robotic surgery enhances surgical precision, dexterity, and vision—especially in anatomically complex or confined areas of the abdomen.
This technique is particularly beneficial in selected liver and pancreas operations, as well as in hernia repairs and foregut surgery, where conventional laparoscopy may be limited. The robotic system allows for smaller incisions, lower blood loss, and more accurate dissection around vital structures.

During robotic surgery, It’s important to note that the robot does not operate independently—your surgeon remains in full control at all times. The robotic system acts as an advanced tool that translates the surgeon’s hand movements into precise micro-movements, improving accuracy and access, especially in anatomically complex areas.

  • Conditions we treat robotically include:
  • Liver Surgery including Major and complex minor resections
  • Complex hernia repairs, including recurrent or incisional hernias
  • Hiatus hernia repair and fundoplication for reflux
  • Cholecystectomy and gallbladder pathology in challenging cases
  • Pancreatic Surgery
  • Benefits of Robotic Surgery:
  • Enhanced 3D visualisation and precision
  • Improved ergonomics and stability for the surgeon
  • Less post-operative pain and quicker recovery
  • Smaller scars and reduced wound complications

Dr. Marwan Idrees has formal training and credentialing in robotic liver and HPB surgery through leading Australian and UK centres. We carefully assess patients to determine whether robotic surgery is suitable and always prioritise the safest and most effective approach for each individual.
