Advanced technologies at the Robotic Surgery Centers, specifically the da Vinci Surgical System, is used by highly experienced and specialized teams. This system allows the surgeon to carry out surgical operations with a minimal incision, while using its precise 3D imaging and advanced technological movement capabilities. Areas where this is applied are:
Surgeries such as mitral valve prolapse, coronary by-pass (notably changing the veins at the frontal surface), rhythm disorders, right valve repair, orifice repair, and atrium related procedures.
Since 2005, successful surgical procedures have been accomplished with the da Vinci for important surgeries such as gynecological, cancer, hysterectomy, and removal of large myomas.
Among the areas that the da Vinci is successfully being used are otorhinolaryngology surgeries and head and neck surgeries. This method is also called TORS (Transoral Robotic Surgery) and provides the opportunity to take out malign or benign tumors from the mouth, larynx (throat), tongue, and tonsils.
The operations on the thyroid glands, can be distressing for some patients from an aesthetical perspective as the procedure may leave scars on the neck. With the da Vinci, entering from the armpit, the thyroid is reached in the neck area. It is possible to carry out almost all thyroid operations with the da Vinci, except for the removal of very large goiters.
The use of robotic surgery systems is very common in the urology branch. In many of the developed countries, surgeons prefer to use the da Vinci for a number of urological operations such as:
