Robotic Surgery
Dr Dean Conrad is a recognised leader in laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures for complex gynaecological conditions. His extensive expertise ensures faster recovery times, reduced pain, and optimal outcomes for patients undergoing advanced surgical care.
What is Robotic Surgery?
Robotic surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive surgery that uses state-of-the-art robotic systems to assist the surgeon. While the robotic arms perform the procedure, every movement is meticulously controlled by Dr Conrad through a specialised console, offering unparalleled precision and accuracy — and occasionally, a moment to debut a new pair of bold socks.
Pioneering Expertise in Robotic Surgery
Dr Conrad is the founder, director, and faculty member of the Australian Institute of Robotic Surgery (AIRS), and a faculty member for the International Medical Robotics Academy (IMRA).
With years of experience, Dr Conrad has mentored and proctored over 20 surgeons across Australia and New Zealand, and presented national and international on robotic techniques, helping to advance the field of robotic surgery.
Robotic Systems & Surgical Platforms
Dr Conrad is a certified proctor for two TGA-approved robotic systems in Australia:
He routinely performs robotic-assisted surgeries at Hurstville Private Hospital and St George Private Hospital, ensuring patients have access to cutting-edge surgical care.
Benefits of Robotic Surgery
Robotic-assisted surgery offers a range of benefits, including:
Minimally invasive procedures with smaller incisions.
Reduced post-operative pain and shorter hospital stays.
Faster recovery times, allowing patients to return to normal activities sooner.
Enhanced precision for complex conditions, such as advanced endometriosis, large fibroids, and pelvic organ prolapse.
Commitment to Patient-Centred Care
Dr Conrad combines his advanced technical expertise with a compassionate approach to care. He ensures every patient understands their treatment options and feels confident in their surgical plan. His dedication to innovation and education positions him as a trusted leader in robotic surgery, delivering the highest standards of care for women.
