In Izmir, simultaneous colon cancer surgery by the general surgery team and kidney cancer surgery by the urology team were performed using robotic surgery technology.

Continuing to heal patients with robotic surgery technology, another first was achieved at IEU Medical Point Hospital. Tuncay Andiç, who applied to the hospital, was diagnosed with colon cancer, and further tests revealed a tumor in his left kidney. Surgery was decided for Andiç, who regained his health through the joint efforts of the general surgery and urology departments using robotic surgery technology. He became the first patient to be recorded as having simultaneous robotic surgeries at IEU Medical Point Hospital.

MY HEALTH IS VERY GOOD

Tayfun Toldaş from the general surgery team, who performed Andiçs colon cancer surgery, said, "Our patient came to us with complaints of bleeding at the end of the intestine. Our tests revealed both a tumor at the end of the large intestine (rectum) and a tumor in the kidney. After chemotherapy, we had to operate. We performed the surgery together with our urology team using robotic surgery. We intervened in the intestine. In this surgery, both the patient and ourselves benefited from the advantages of robotic surgery. Afterwards, the patient entered a rapid recovery period. Thanks to robotic surgery, we performed the operation more precisely. There was less blood loss, and the recovery process was faster," he said. Prof. Dr. Gökhan Koç from the urology department, who operated on Andis kidney tumor, said, "Our patient was diagnosed with a large bowel tumor. There was a chemotherapy process. Later, during a rectal surgery planned by the general surgery department, we decided to treat the tumor detected in the left kidney in the same session with robotic surgery. We performed the operation through small incisions. If we had used the old method, we would have had to perform the surgery with a large incision. We completely removed the tumor in the patients left kidney. Both the operation and the hospital stay were shortened. We completely removed the left kidney. We performed two surgeries at the same time with robotic surgery in our hospital," he said. Tuncay Andiç, who regained his health with robotic surgery technology, emphasized that he was able to stand up in about a week. Andiç said, "As a result of our research, we came to Medical Point Hospital. I was operated on with robotic surgery by Prof. Tayfun and Prof. Gökhan. Thanks to the robot, it is very skillful. Having two surgeries at the same time is not easy. Thanks to the patience of our professors and my own resilience, I had successful surgeries. I recovered in a week. My health is very good. We will adapt to a new lifestyle. I am sure everything will be better," he said.
