In abdominal operations, minimally invasive procedures are possible. Compared with open methods, laparoscopy has advantages such as less pain, faster recovery and a smaller surgical scar.
Robotic surgery, which is spreading rapidly today, emerged as the result of research carried out to overcome the limitations of traditional laparoscopy, without in any way endangering the safety and effectiveness of the operation, and to bring the adverse effect of the operation on the body to a minimum level.
SURGERY WITHOUT A SCAR
With robotic surgery, the great majority of operations are now performed through incisions of approximately 0.8 cm. After the operation, the marks of these incisions reach a level at which they cannot be noticed from a distance within 6 to 12 months. Over periods longer than a year they disappear to the point of no longer being visible to the eye.
In some hysterectomy and ovarian cyst operations, the operation can be performed through a single incision made only in the navel. For this reason, even immediately after the operation, the scar remains at a level that is almost impossible to notice from the outside.
Especially for those who pay attention to their appearance, the robotic surgery method offers a great advantage over other methods, and there is no need for any aesthetic procedure after the operation.
A COMFORTABLE POST-OPERATIVE PERIOD WITH ROBOTIC SURGERY
The period after the operation is at least as difficult for patients as the operation itself. Difficult recovery processes are the reason why patients experience even greater difficulties at the very time when they need to be psychologically strongest. However, thanks to robotic surgery, a comfortable setting is found for patients both during and after the operation.
The fact that the operation is carried out through extremely small incisions makes the recovery process after the operation shorter. In addition, the fact that these small incisions also become so small over time that they cannot be noticed allows patients to feel more at ease before and after the operation.
