In Izmir, colon cancer surgery was performed simultaneously by the general surgery team and kidney cancer surgery was performed by the urology department team, using robotic surgery technology.
Another first was achieved at IUE Medical Point Hospital, which continues to provide healing to its patients with robotic surgery technology. Tuncay Andiç, who applied to IUE Medical Point Hospital, was found to have colon cancer, and during the examinations, it was determined that he also had a tumor in his left kidney, and a surgery decision was made for Andiç. Andiç regained his health with the joint work of both general surgery and urology departments using robotic surgery technology. Andiç took his place in the records as the first patient to have surgery simultaneously with robotic surgery at IUE Medical Point Hospital.
MY HEALTH IS VERY GOOD
Tayfun Toldaş from the Department of General Surgery, who performed Andiç’s colon cancer surgery, said, “Our patient applied to us with the complaint of bleeding in the last part of the intestine. During our examinations, a tumor was found in the end of the patient’s large intestine (rectum) and also a tumor in his kidney. We did not perform surgery after the chemotherapy process.” We performed the surgery using robotic surgery with our urology team. In this surgery, both the patient and we benefited from the benefits of robotic surgery. Afterwards, we performed the surgery with less precision. “While there was blood loss, the healing process was also faster,” he said. Prof. from the Department of Urology, who operated on the tumor in Andiç’s kidney. Dr. Gökhan Koç said, “Our patient had a large intestine tumor. He had chemotherapy. Afterwards, we decided to treat the tumor, which was detected in his left kidney during a rectum surgery planned by the general surgery department, with robotic surgery in the same session. We performed the surgery with small holes we opened. If we had used the old method, we would have made a large incision.” “We would have to perform the surgery. We completely removed the tumor in the patient’s left kidney. Both the patient’s surgery and hospitalization time were shortened. We performed two operations simultaneously with robotic surgery in our hospital.” Tuncay Andiç, who regained his health with robotic surgery technology, emphasized that he got back on his feet in about a week. Andiç said, “As a result of our research, we came to Medical Point Hospital. I was operated on with robotic surgery by Tayfun Hoca and Gökhan Hoca. I would also like to thank the robot. It was very skillful. It is not easy to have two surgeries at the same time. Our doctors had patience and I had the resilience to perform successful surgeries. “I recovered in a week. My health is very good. I am sure that everything will be better.
