We’re wrapping up Parkinson’s Awareness month with another Australian first 🥇

The San’s Head of Neurosurgery, ClinProf Brian Owler, was featured on Channel 9 last night to discuss the first case of robotic-assisted Deep Brain Stimulation. Traditionally, this surgery requires patients to remain awake. However, the introduction of robotic-assisted technology is changing the approach, improving both patient comfort and accessibility.

Hear all about this transformation in how Parkinson’s disease is treated 👇

First in the Southern Hemisphere 🥇

Last Friday, a Southern Hemisphere-first robotic-assisted surgery was successfully performed at the San by Associate Professor Stephen Pillinger. The surgery saw the use of the new da Vinci 5 surgical system, recently introduced to Australia by Device Technologies.

The technology represents a significant advancement, offering 10,000 times more power than previous versions, improved ergonomics for surgeons, greater precision and reduced surgery times for patients. It also has telepresence and telesurgery capabilities, creating new opportunities for mentoring and education beyond the San.

At the San, we’re incredibly fortunate to have experts like A/Prof Pillinger. In 2025, he was part of the team that completed over 1,000 robotic surgeries, placing us in a strong position to embrace and lead this next upgrade.

The San is continuing A/Prof Pillinger’s momentum with Professor Tristan Yan, Director of Robotic and Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery, performing the Southern Hemisphere’s first heart surgery using the da Vinci 5 this week.

We’re proud to be at the forefront of innovation, helping shape the future of robotic surgery.

1st in Australia, 2nd in the World 🥇🥈

Last night, we officially launched the Interventional Neuroradiology Theatre, only the second of its kind in the world.

This state-of-the-art hybrid theatre will transform care for Australians experiencing strokes, aneurysms and other life-threatening neurological conditions, enabling faster access to critical, life-saving treatment.

By allowing patients to be diagnosed and treated in the same theatre, it removes the need for transfers and empowers clinicians to act quickly when every second counts.

The theatre was officially opened by the Member for Wahroonga, Alister Henskens SC MP, and blessed by Chaplain Kym Cross, marking a significant milestone in positioning the San as a leading centre of excellence in neurosurgery and stroke care in Australia.
