Mount Private Hospital is delighted to welcome urologist Dr Ivan Aw.
Uro-oncology specialist Dr Aw spent his first day at the Mount performing the hospital’s first urology surgery using the new da Vinci robot. 🤖
“The advantages of minimally invasive surgery means that more patients are choosing this as an option for their cancer care. With the da Vinci robot at Mount Private my cancer patients will have greater access to this technology, providing much-needed reassurance in their cancer journey,” said Dr Aw.
The da Vinci robotic system allows surgeons to perform precise and intricate procedures, which is particularly useful in accessing otherwise hard-to-reach spaces. For patients, this can mean a better surgical and recovery experience.
Mount Private Hospital General Manager Patrick Turner said the arrival of Dr Aw and expanded use of the da Vinci robot was great news for patients.
“We’re thrilled to have Dr Aw join Mount Private Hospital and excited to be growing our urology services for the WA community. I’m pleased to extend our da Vinci robotic capabilities to urology surgeries, delivering exceptional clinical outcomes to more patients.”
