About

Ciska Uys has made significant contributions to the field of cardiothoracic surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Her landmark systematic review, published in 2016 and cited over 60 times, critically evaluated the clinical safety and efficacy of robotic CABG, addressing a crucial gap in evidence-based surgical practice. This work helped establish a foundation for understanding the benefits and limitations of minimally invasive robotic approaches in cardiac surgery. Uys’s research has been instrumental in guiding surgeons and researchers toward more rigorous clinical data collection and outcome assessment in robotic cardiac procedures. Her systematic review remains a key reference for those exploring the integration of robotic technology into coronary revascularization. Through her scholarly efforts, Uys has advanced the conversation around surgical innovation, patient safety, and the need for robust clinical evidence in emerging surgical techniques.
