About the clinic
Tongue cancer surgery at Memorial Ataşehir Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, provides patients with advanced surgical options including robotic-assisted techniques. This JCI-accredited facility is known for being the first in Turkey to receive such international accreditation. The hospital features an Oncologic Surgery Center where a multidisciplinary team designs a personalized treatment plan for every patient.
Advanced Surgical Methods
The hospital uses the Da Vinci Single Port (SP) robotic system for head and neck procedures. This technology allows surgeons to perform precise movements through a single small incision. This robotic method and other minimally invasive techniques help reduce the impact of surgery on the body. Surgeons focus on removing the tumor while preserving as much healthy tissue and function as possible.
