Robotic Surgery in Turkey
Turkey has rapidly adopted robotic surgical systems, with over 100 da Vinci robots deployed across major hospitals. This technology enables minimally invasive surgery with unmatched precision.
Common Robotic Procedures
- Urology: Prostatectomy, kidney surgery
- Gynaecology: Hysterectomy, myomectomy
- General Surgery: Hernia repair, gallbladder removal
- Cardiothoracic: Mitral valve repair, lung resection
- Oncology: Colorectal cancer, head and neck tumours
Advantages of Robotic Surgery
Smaller incisions (8-12mm ports), 3D HD visualisation with 10x magnification, enhanced dexterity with wristed instruments, reduced blood loss and transfusion rates, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery.
Robotic surgery in Turkey costs 40-60% less than in Western Europe and the USA. Major centres like Memorial, Acibadem, and Liv Hospital have dedicated robotic surgery programmes.
