Robotic Surgery Success in Bladder Cancer Treatment

Cavit Abacık, who had complaints such as blood in the urine and burning and was diagnosed with bladder cancer, regained his old health after the operation performed with robotic surgery at the (75) Private Health Hospital.

Private Health Hospital Robotic Surgery Director Prof. Dr. Burak Turna said that they performed 3 operations with the robotic surgery method for Cavit Abacık, who was diagnosed with bladder cancer as a result of the examinations and was risky to have surgery because he had many diseases.

3 OPERATIONS ON ONE PATIENT

Stating that they had a difficult operation as a team due to the patient's advanced age and different diseases, Prof. Dr. Burak Turna said, “As a result of the examinations we performed on our patient, we decided that the bladder and prostate should be removed. We successfully completed a difficult operation by performing a complex operation such as robotic cystoprostatectomy (removal of the bladder and prostate) and enlarged lymph node dissection (removal of regional lymph nodes) and robotic ileal loop surgery (removal of the urinary tract from the small intestine) with a surgical intervention of approximately 5 hours. As a result of a series of operations that we performed without any large incisions in the body with the robotic surgery method, our patient was discharged in a short time like one week. He has now returned to his normal life and is in good health. We wish him healthy and happy days in his next life.

PROVIDES ADVANTAGE

Giving information about the robotic surgery technique, Prof. Dr. Burak Turna said: “With this method, patients are provided with the opportunity to feel less pain after surgery and return to normal life earlier. Moreover, since the scar is less compared to open surgery, it also offers an aesthetic advantage. Since this method causes less trauma to the body, both blood loss is less and the recovery time is shortened. The risk of infection in the patient is reduced. Since the intestines do not come into contact with air as in the open method, they remain in their natural environment during the surgery. Therefore, the intestines return to normal functioning in a much shorter time. With robotic surgery, we provide our patients with the opportunity to operate away from the disadvantages of open surgery. We continue our work for public health with a team with more than a thousand cases experience in this matter.
