Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgery is the most advanced minimally invasive surgical technology where the surgeon operates through robotic arms.

What is Robotic Surgery?

Robotic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical method where the surgeon controls robotic arms through a console. The Da Vinci surgical system is the most widely used robotic surgery platform in the world.

Robotic surgery transmits the surgeon's hand movements to the surgical field more precisely and without tremor. With 3D high-resolution imaging and instruments that can rotate up to 540 degrees, much more precise operations can be performed compared to traditional surgery.

Robotic Surgery Applications in Gynecology

Gynecological conditions where Assoc. Prof. Erkan Elçi performs robotic surgery:

- Myomectomy: Removal of fibroids with robotic surgery

  • Hysterectomy: Uterus removal surgery

  • Endometriosis surgery: Treatment of advanced endometriosis

  • Gynecologic cancer surgery: Uterine, ovarian, and cervical cancer operations

  • Sacrocolpopexy: Pelvic floor repair

  • Tubal reanastomosis: Reconnection of fallopian tubes

  • Advantages of Robotic Surgery

    - Smaller incisions (8-12 mm)

  • Less pain and bleeding

  • Lower risk of infection

  • Short hospital stay (usually 1 night)

  • Fast recovery and return to work

  • Less adhesion formation

  • High precision with 3D imaging

  • Better cosmetic results

  • Frequently Asked Questions

    Is robotic surgery safe?+
    Yes, robotic surgery is a very safe method when performed by experienced surgeons. Complication rates are lower compared to open surgery.
    Is robotic surgery suitable for every patient?+
    The most appropriate surgical method for each patient is determined based on the type and stage of disease and the patient's overall health. The decision is made after detailed evaluation.
