Private Health Hospital Robotic Surgery Director Prof. Dr. BurakTurna and his team successfully completed another operation with a high degree of difficulty and risk.
Altan Kocabaş, 46, living in Aydın, regained his health after a laparoscopic (closed) kidney operation performed at a Private Health Hospital.
As a result of the examinations performed on Kocabaş, who had a heart attack three months ago and then had a closed bypass surgery, a large 1-kg mass was detected in his right kidney.
Private Health Hospital Robotic Surgery Director Prof. Dr. BurakTurna performed a laparoscopic kidney operation with an experienced team on Altan Kocabaş, whose condition is at risk because he had a bypass surgery a short time ago.
Giving information about the operation, Prof. Dr. Burak Turna said, “The Kocabaş family preferred the closed method to avoid the risky kidney operation after a heart attack with minimum damage. MRI and tomography imaging of Altan Kocabaş, who reached our hospital as a result of his research, was examined. A mass of approximately 1 kg located on the right kidney was successfully removed by closed method. We preferred this method because it shortens the recovery time as well as less pain and blood loss. Considering Altan's brain condition, this operation required serious experience. It has now been a short time since the operation. Altan's general health is very good; We wish him and his family a healthy life.”
HEALING SPEED INCREASE WITH THE CLOSED METHOD
Giving information about the laparoscopic surgery technique, Prof. Dr. Burak Turna said: “We perform the operation with a small incision with the laparoscopic method. With this method, patients are provided with the opportunity to feel less pain after surgery and return to normal life earlier. Moreover, since the scar is less compared to open surgery, it also offers an aesthetic advantage. Since this method causes less trauma to the body, both blood loss is less and the recovery time is shortened. The risk of infection in the patient is reduced. As a highly experienced team in this field, we continue our work for public health.”
