Colorectal & Gastrointestinal Surgery

Colorectal cancer ranks third among men and second among women among all cancers. It generally progresses silently. When rectal bleeding is mistakenly attributed to hemorrhoids and endoscopic evaluation is neglected, the disease is often diagnosed only at advanced stages. It is most commonly seen between the ages of 50 and 75 and is most frequently located in the left colon.

Robotic Colon Cancer Surgery can be preferred as a treatment approach, and experience is extremely important in this field. Since 2012, I have been treating suitable colon and rectal cancer patients using robotic surgery.

Laparoscopic Surgery is performed through small incisions (trocar entry points) in the abdominal wall using laparoscopic surgical instruments. It is commonly used in reflux surgery, obesity surgery, colon surgery, and especially challenging laparoscopic procedures (such as patients with prior open abdominal surgeries with adhesions, severely overweight patients, or cases with acute infections). The surgical team has extensive experience and a large case volume in these procedures.

The surgical team, experienced in both Robotic and Laparoscopic Surgery, is able to perform all surgeries done laparoscopically using robotic techniques as well. With the advancement of robotic surgery, the use of surgical robots in the treatment of surgical diseases has become increasingly widespread. Due to its superior visualization quality and the precision of robotic instruments, robotic surgery allows surgeons to perform complex manipulations successfully in narrow anatomical spaces.
