Profile


The Centre for Minimal Access Surgery (CMAS), a McMaster University Centre located at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton, was established in the fall of 1999. As a state-of-the-art multi disciplinary technological education and research centre, it was designed to increase the awareness and understanding, as well as support the research and development, of the specialized techniques of minimal access surgery and surgical innovation.

Our vision is three fold, education and skills training to advance the caliber and scope of minimal access training, research and development in robotics and surgical innovations, and telehealth through the development of mission critical telehealth applications. These applications will incorporate the newly developed innovations and provide support to the surgeons and the communities in which they practice.

CMAS’s increasing scope has prompted the creation of the McMaster Institute of Surgical Invention, Innovation and Education (MISIIE). This University/Hospital Institute facilitates collaborative relationships with Faculties including Engineering and partnerships with industry.
