What is Minimally Invasive Surgery?

Minimally invasive surgery is a surgical method performed through smaller incisions as an alternative to open surgery. This technique speeds up the postoperative healing process, reduces pain and leaves less scarring on the skin. At Metropol Health Group, minimally invasive surgery methods are successfully applied by the latest technology and expert team.

How is it done?

• During the surgical procedure, small incisions, usually 0.5-1 cm in size, are made in the affected area.
• Through these incisions, a camera (laparoscope) and special surgical instruments are inserted into the body. The camera allows the surgeon to see the internal structure of the body in detail.
• The surgeon directs the operation on the monitor and the procedure is completed without the need for large incisions.
• Minimally invasive surgery allows for precise interventions, resulting in faster postoperative recovery and shorter hospital stays.

In which cases is it applied?

Minimally invasive surgery can be used to treat many diseases. It is often preferred in the following cases:

• Abdominal and pelvic pain
• Digestive system diseases (e.g. gallstones, appendicitis)
• Organ dysfunctions
• Treatment of intra-abdominal or pelvic masses, cysts or tumors

What are the Treatment Methods?

Laparoscopic Surgery:

• What is it? It is used to treat the abdomen and pelvic organs. Made through small incisions, this method is ideal for delicate interventions.
• Areas of Use: It is preferred in cases such as gallbladder surgery, appendicitis, gynecological diseases (for example, fibroid surgeries).

Endoscopic Surgery:

• What is it? It covers surgeries performed by entering through natural body cavities such as mouth and nose.
• Uses: It is widely used in the treatment of stomach and intestinal problems.

Robotic Surgery:

• What is it? It is a high-precision method in which the surgeon guides robotic arms.
• Areas of Use: It provides an advantage in situations that require working on sensitive organs, especially in cancer surgery.

What are the Advantages?

• Smaller incisions and aesthetic results
• Less pain and risk of infection
• Faster healing process
• Return to daily life in a short time

Minimally invasive surgery is planned according to the type of disease and the patient’s condition. At Metropol Health Group, it is aimed to regain your health with a patient-oriented approach and the most appropriate treatment methods.
