Robotic cholecystectomy in Central Hospital
About the clinic
Robotic cholecystectomy at Central Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, is a modern solution for gallbladder removal. The procedure uses the da Vinci robotic system to perform surgery through tiny incisions. This minimally invasive method focuses on reducing recovery time and physical trauma for the patient.
The surgery is performed by experienced specialists including Prof. Dr. Mehmet Rafet Yiğitbasi, Op. Dr. Murat Şendur, and Op. Dr. Servet Tali. These general surgeons operate in theatres equipped with 4K laparoscopic imaging and surgical microscopes. This high-definition visualization helps the medical team see the surgical site with extreme clarity. Central Hospital treats about 138,000+ patients annually across its facilities.
Advanced Surgical Technology
The da Vinci robotic system translates the surgeon's hand movements into smaller, precise actions. It provides a greater range of motion than the human hand alone. This precision is vital for navigating the delicate tissues around the gallbladder. The hospital also uses AI-powered MRI, CT, and ultrasound tools to plan every step of the surgery before it begins. These diagnostic tools help identify the exact anatomy of the patient.
Modern Diagnostic Support
Having advanced imaging on-site helps speed up the preparation process. The facility includes:
- 3 Tesla MRI for high-resolution internal imaging.
- High-resolution tomography to map the surgical area.
- 4K laparoscopic tools for real-time visual guidance.
- Angiography equipment to monitor blood vessels if needed.
Recovery and Care
Because the robotic method uses small punctures rather than large cuts, patients typically feel less pain after the operation. Most people return to their normal activities faster than with traditional open surgery. The surgical team monitors each patient throughout their stay to manage their comfort and healing. You can leave a request on Bookimed to receive a personal treatment plan for this procedure.
