The Wertheim-Meigs operation in Assoc. Prof. Dr. Esra Özbaşlı OBGYN & Women Genital Aesthetics
About the clinic
The Wertheim-Meigs operation is a radical hysterectomy used to treat cervical cancer at the clinic of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Esra Özbaşlı in Istanbul, Turkey. This complex surgery focuses on removing the uterus and surrounding tissues to address oncological needs. The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish government and treats 2,000+ patients every year.
Advanced Surgical Methods
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Esra Özbaşlı performs the Wertheim-Meigs operation using minimally invasive techniques. Patients can choose robotic-assisted laparoscopy with the da Vinci Surgical System. This method uses three or four small incisions about 1 cm long. Robotic surgery typically lasts between one and four hours under general anesthesia. These small openings help reduce pain and lower the risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery. The clinic also provides necessary lymph node surgery as part of the oncology protocol.
Expertise of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Esra Özbaşlı
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Esra Özbaşlı leads the surgical team with over 20 years of experience in gynecology and obstetrics. She earned her da Vinci Robotic Surgery Console Surgeon certificate at Strasbourg University Hospital in 2013. Her background includes advanced training in gynecologic oncology and urogynecology. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Özbaşlı handles complex cancer cases and reconstructive procedures. She also holds certifications in genital aesthetics and cosmetic gynecology.
Recovery and Patient Care
The robotic approach allows for a faster return to daily life. Many patients can stand up within hours after the procedure. Light activities are usually possible within a few days. Full recovery typically takes between four and six weeks. Before the surgery, patients must stop taking birth control pills and blood thinners like fish oil. The medical team provides regular check-ups for several weeks after the operation. Treatment plans are individual and may include radiotherapy or chemotherapy if needed.
Travel and Logistics
The clinic is located in the Nişantaşı district of Istanbul. International patient packages often include airport transfers and hotel stays to make the trip easier. The staff assists with all medical travel needs during the stay. If you are looking for specialized surgical care for cervical cancer, you can leave a request on Bookimed to receive a personal consultation.
