Prof. Burak Turna, M.D., Robotic Surgery Director at Özel Sağlık Hospital said that Robotic surgery, which is applied in our country as well as in developed countries all over the world, provides many advantages to both patients and physicians.
Expressing that robotic surgery is a subtle treatment method that positively affects the success of the surgery, Prof. Turna stated that they are working for public health with a team whose experience in this field is over a thousand cases.
Informing about the advantages of robotic surgery, Prof. Turna said, “Robotic surgery or robot-assisted surgery is the process of performing some operations by entering through small incisions. In robotic surgery, which has advantages for both the patient and the surgeon, surgical intervention is performed with the help of arms modeled on the wrist, accompanied by high-resolution three-dimensional images. It allows complex surgeries to be performed by overcoming the limitations of traditional open and closed surgery technologies. This method is usually performed with small incisions and the intervention of robot arms to the body. This technology, which provides more precision, flexibility and control than traditional methods, minimizes physician error. The operation performed with a small incision also minimizes trauma and bleeding in the patient’s body. Thus, the patient’s recovery and return to normal life time is shortened. It provides an advantage for the patient and their relatives after the operation.”
Stating that they aim for the Özel Sağlık Hospital to be one of the leading health institutions in Turkey with its high technology and experienced team, Prof. Burak Turna said, “We have raised the bar even higher in health. We are also aware of our responsibility. From here, we present a claim that shows the development of our country in the field of health, all over Turkey and the world. With the use of technology, the Özel Sağlık Hospital has the equipment and capacity to perform all surgeries with a high degree of difficulty that only a few institutions in the world can perform, as well as other diagnosis and treatment services.”
Experience over a thousand cases
Noting that robotic surgery provides a technological advantage, Turna said, “Technological equipment alone is not enough. The experience of the physician using the technology is also very important. We will provide the best service to our patients by bringing together very experienced surgeons and team in Private Health Hospital. For this reason, we have established a team with more than 1000 cases in robotic surgery in our hospital. And this experience stands out as one of the most important series in Turkey. According to the literature, experience is always a determining factor in achieving successful results. We will be among the top 20 centers in the world for prostate treatment.”
