About the clinic

The Wertheim-Meigs operation is a surgical treatment for cervical cancer available at Memorial Ataşehir Hospital in Istanbul. This procedure is a radical hysterectomy that involves removing the uterus and surrounding lymph nodes. The hospital is known for its high standards and was the first in Turkey to receive JCI accreditation.

Surgical Methods and Technology

Memorial Ataşehir Hospital offers different ways to perform the Wertheim-Meigs operation. Surgeons can use traditional open surgery or choose minimally invasive methods. These options include:

  • Laparoscopic surgery, which uses small incisions and a camera.
  • Robotic-assisted surgery, providing high precision for complex movements.
  • Radical lymphadenectomy to remove lymph nodes and check for cancer spread.

These modern techniques help patients recover faster. They also cause less pain and smaller scars compared to older methods.

Expert Care in Gynecologic Oncology

The gynecologic oncology department handles these delicate surgeries. Prof. Dr. Doğukan YILDIRIM leads treatments for patients with reproductive system cancers. As a specialist in gynecologic oncology, Prof. Dr. YILDIRIM focuses on removing cancerous tissues while protecting healthy organs when possible. The medical team follows international protocols to manage every stage of the surgery.

"We love you

image image image
Hello everybody. Thanks to the Clinic for a successful operation. To the Neurosurgeon Mustafa Onaz and Professor Gohan. We are diagnosed with Brain cancer, the last stage, malignant. The tumor was twice as large. They saved my husband's life. Masha Allah. The operation was 8-9 hours. they deleted everything, I consider this a record. It was a difficult operation. Well done. At our KZ they could not remove everything that was, only a small part was removed and that's it. I bow to you. At the expense of the clinic. Service At the Highest Level. Another razzzzz Many thanks to Mustafa Onaz. We love you. A doctor from God. He needs OsKar ❤️❤️❤️ Aidana Amanshieva
