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 2007 there were 189 medical specialists with vascular surgery as their main specialty of practice. (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2009. Medical labour force 2007. National health labour force series no. 44. Cat. no. HWL 45. Canberra: AIHW)
