HE HAD SURGERY FOR BOTH COLON AND KIDNEY CANCER
With robotic surgery, you can perform two surgeries at once;
At IUE Medical Point Hospital, colon cancer surgery was performed by the general surgery team and kidney cancer surgery was performed by the urology department team simultaneously with robotic surgery. Tuncay Andiç(73). “I will adapt to a new lifestyle. I’m sure everything will get better,” he said.
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. 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 a chemotherapy process. 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.” he said. Andıç said, “I would also like to thank the robot very much. It was very skillful. It is not easy to have two surgeries at the same time. Our teachers had patience and I had the resilience, so I had successful surgeries. My health is very good. I am sure that everything will be better.” he said.
