- Faster healing process: Patients can return to their daily lives in a shorter time.
- Lower risk of infection: The risk of infection is very low in operations performed with the closed method.
- High surgical precision: Thanks to robotic arms, the surgeon can operate with high precision even in tight spaces.
- Less blood loss: Advanced imaging and cutting technologies provide more controlled surgery.
Who is Robotic Cancer Surgery Suitable for?
Not every patient may be suitable for robotic surgery. Gynecologist Oncologist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sema KarakaşWhen evaluating suitable candidates for robotic surgery, the following are taken into consideration:
- Type and stage of cancer

How is Robotic Cancer Surgery Performed?
The patient is put to sleep with general anesthesia.
Several small incisions (about 0.5 - 1 cm) are made in the abdomen.
The arms of the robotic system and the camera are inserted through these incisions.
The surgeon removes the tumor by controlling robotic arms accompanied by 3D high-resolution images.
After the necessary interventions are completed, the incisions are closed.
The duration of robotic surgery usually varies between 1 and 4 hours. The scope of the operation may vary according to the tissues to be removed.
What Should Be Considered After Surgery?
- Avoid heavy lifting.
