Vascular surgery focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases affecting the arteries, veins and the lymphatic system. It is a rapidly evolving specialty, moving to minimally invasive techniques with the use of new technology.
Vascular surgeons complete a surgical training program administered by The Australian and New Zealand Society for Vascular Surgery on behalf of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS), or equivalent training in other countries.
Vascular surgeons are Fellows of RACS and use the post-nominals FRACS.
In 2017 there were 235 registered vascular surgeons in Australia (Medical Board of Australia, Registrant data, 23 January 2018).
The Australian and New Zealand Society for Vascular Surgery is the peak professional body for vascular surgeons in Australia.
