The Society of Thoracic Surgeons - Upcoming Symposium on Robotics


Thoracic surgeon Jonathan Daniel, MD, practices with the Starr-Wood Cardiothoracic Surgery Group in Portland, Oregon. Alongside his work caring for his patients, Jonathan Daniel, MD, maintains memberships with professional organizations including the Society of Thoracic Surgeons. 

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, established in 1964, is a nonprofit that represents the researchers and physicians who tend to the heart, lungs, and esophagus. It represents more than 7,200 medical professionals who are dedicated to improving outcomes for cardiothoracic patients worldwide. 

An upcoming STS event will focus on the changes that robotic technology is bringing to cardiothoracic surgery. The STS Symposium on Robotic Mitral Valve Repair will help attendees learn more about performing robotic mitral valve procedures, covering techniques from valve positioning to postoperative care. Physicians will also learn how to design and establish effective robotic surgery programs at hospitals around the world.

The symposium will be held March 31 and April 1, 2017, at the Loews Chicago Hotel.
