General Surgery

General Surgery Department

Our hospital's general surgery department provides a comprehensive range of elective and emergency surgical services for patients. With our experienced surgical team, we are ready to assist in common surgical conditions such as acute abdominal emergencies, hernias, and gallstone diseases in the groin and abdominal areas. Many of these common conditions can be treated with laparoscopic surgery, avoiding the need for open surgery.

In recent years, the development of laparoscopic surgical techniques worldwide has significantly reduced hospitalization durations, and the number of daily procedures has increased accordingly.

General surgery encompasses all aspects of patient care related to general surgery, including trauma-acute abdomen and critical care surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, endocrine surgery, and surgical oncology.

Acute Abdominal Surgery, Trauma, and Surgical Intensive Care

Our trauma center's doctors, nurses, and staff provide timely, excellent, and cost-effective care to patients with complex multiple-system trauma or single-system trauma requiring special surgical services.

Our surgical intensive care units provide high-level health services to surgical patients in intensive care units, offering necessary treatment in hemodynamic monitoring, ventilator management, nutritional support, and the treatment of sepsis and organ failure.

Colorectal Surgery

Our colorectal surgery team specializes in minimally invasive surgery of abdominal and pelvic organs, including the small intestine, colon, rectum, and anus. Our colorectal surgeons treat all benign and malignant gastrointestinal diseases, perform routine screening tests, and use surgical methods when necessary.

Laparoscopic colorectal surgery, using advanced techniques, is the preferred approach for colon and rectum cancer resection. Proven to be equivalent to traditional surgery in the treatment of colon cancer, this minimally invasive surgical option helps patients recover intestinal function faster, reduces postoperative pain, and provides better cosmetic results.

Endocrine Surgery

Our endocrine surgery team provides excellent, personalized care for patients with benign and malignant thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal gland diseases. Utilizing interdisciplinary approaches with the support of endocrinologists, cytopathologists, and radiologists, our team ensures that patients receive the best available care.

When surgery is necessary, our team uses the latest techniques, including ultrasonography-guided thyroidectomy and neck dissection, minimally invasive parathyroidectomy using radiofrequency, and laparoscopic and retroperitoneal adrenalectomy, helping patients recover faster and easier.

Gastrointestinal - Minimally Invasive Surgery

Our gastrointestinal surgery team specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. Working with experienced surgeons, we address diseases of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, gallbladder, bile ducts, spleen, and pancreas. Minimally invasive surgery for gastrointestinal system patients has become increasingly preferred in recent years for its potential to enhance patients' quality of life and achieve high treatment success.

Minimally invasive surgery, which does not require a large incision, is a relatively new technique that provides patients with less pain and faster recovery. The three-dimensional imaging and 360-degree instrumentation of this technique offer better visibility and results than standard minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Many surgical techniques applied in recent years are now considered part of minimally invasive surgery. Some of these surgical techniques include:

• Laparoscopy: A minimally invasive method using a lighted tube with a camera lens (laparoscope) to examine abdominal organs and detect abnormalities. Laparoscopy is often used to observe the abdominal cavity during surgery and avoid making large incisions. It can also be used to take tissue samples for examination and testing.
• Endoscopy: A method using a small, flexible tube with a light and camera lens (endoscope) at the end to examine the hollow organs of the digestive system. Tissue samples can also be taken from inside digestive system organs.
• Gastroscopy: Endoscopy of the stomach. It is a procedure for evaluating the stomach using a long imaging tube.
• Sigmoidoscopy: Examination of the rectum and sigmoid colon using an imaging tube.

Bariatric Surgery

Weight loss can be challenging but is possible. Losing weight is highly beneficial for your health and essential for improving your quality of life.

Surgical Oncology

Our surgical oncology department is responsible for the care of patients requiring operative intervention for cancer treatment.

Surgical oncology manages multidisciplinary clinics for common breast diseases, gastrointestinal system malignancies, and diseases of many other organs.

Our hospital has intensive care and service facilities to support high-risk patients undergoing surgery. Various medical specialties can be included in their treatment according to their needs throughout their treatment.
