da Vinci Robotics Surgery Center
THE UTILISATION OF da VINCI ROBOTICS SYSTEM IN UROLOGICAL OPERATIONS

WHAT IS da VINCI ROBOTICS SYSTEM?
da Vinci Robotics System comprises of 3 main parts based on computers and as a surgery equipment it is a system that provides the surgical operations the minimum harm.

da Vinci Robotics System is the most advanced technology of our age, which is operated by the surgeon and can reach the deepest spots with a 3D and clear image and can provide the multi-angular mobility ability without any tiny trembles.

By the da Vinci Robotics Surgery System, the surgeon, sitting in the part called "Console", is able to see the image inside the patient’s body in 3D, high resolution and a expanded way 10-20 more zoomed than the normal ones even in deepest surfaces. There are 4 arms inserted on the patient under operation. The first is the telescope which acts like the eyes of the robotics and the high-resolution camera that transmits the image that this telescope captured. Thanks to this camera, the surgeon captures the image and controls the other robotic arms which would carry out the surgery.

Since the surgical tools at the end of the robotic are very thin, they have the ability of mobility even in the deepest parts of the body. The fine-lead and gentle surgical robotic arms help remove the organ to be moved away without harming the tissues.

“da VINCI ROBOTICS SURGEON” IN THE TREATMENT OF PROSTATE CANCER
da Vinci Robotics System, following a great spread all over the world from 2001 onwards, is today utilized mostly for the surgery of prostate cancer. In a prostate cancer operation carried out by the da Vinci Robotics System, the prostate is completely removed and the cervix vesicae and the urethra is stitched which remains in the space aftermath of the removal of the prostate in a crossing way.

Advantages

• After da Vinci Robotic Surgery stays in the hospital lasts 1 or 2 days. 95% of the patients are able to leave the hospital and go home.
• When compared to the traditional open surgery, there is very little blood loss during the operation
• There is a very little need for use of painkillers when staying in hospital and after leaving the hospital.
• Usually one week after the surgery, the catheter that was placed into the urethra is removed. In open surgery, this period varies generally between 14 and 21 days.
• 90% percent of the patients are able to return to their routine works after the surgery with the da Vinci Robotics Surgery or three weeks later.
• By the da Vinci Robotics Surgery technique in prostate operations, the erection nerves near the prostate and the urine continence muscles are protected better. Thanks to this qualified protection, there are less urine incontinence problems and there are lower levels of penis erectile dysfunction to be encountered.

The most important point that should be acknowledged by patient and patient relatives: da Vinci Robotic Surgery is not an application completely based on tool and the robot. The Surgeon’s laparoscopic surgery experience in prostate operations is essential for success. In this way, the protection of the nerves reaching the penis and of veins is ensured on a high level. This case provides an important advantage in the continuity of sexual activity of the patient after the surgery.

"da VINCI ROBOTICS SURGEON" IN THE TREATMENT OF KIDNEY CANCER
In recent years, thanks to the technological advantages the da Vinci Robotics introduced in the field of urology, da Vinci Radical Nephrectomy is also on the agenda for the treatment of kidney cancer. In the treatment of kidney cancer da Vinci technique can be utilized in operations involving the complete removal of the kidney or of the infected part of the kidney.

The da Vinci Robotic System utilized in kidney operations eliminates the tremble effect ensured by 3D, high-resolution 10 or 20 more zoomed images, and thanks to its ability of mobility inside the body like a real hand in 7 directions it carries out the surgery.
da Vinci Technique can be used for the patients who lost the kidney functions due to kidney calculus, obliteration, natural born dystrophy and to high tension levels in association with tightening of kidney veins, for the removal of the kidney in kidney cancer where the diameter of the tumor reached 12 or 15 cm. or on many tumors having nerves.

Advantages

• Since it is operated outside the peritoneum, there is no risk for harming the intestines.
• There is a very little need for use of painkillers when staying in hospital and after leaving the hospital.
• The patient returns to daily activities in a short period.
• Due to tiny surgical cuts, the aesthetical appearance is not deformed.
• The operation is carried out with the elimination of the tremble effect that is eliminated by robotic arms.
• The operation is carried out by robotic arms which can move as if it was a real hand in 7 directions and in 720 degrees of mobility.

da Vinci Technique is also a technique which can be utilized for kidney tumors diameters of which is shorter than 4 cm depending on its spot on the kidney. Here the purpose is to control the cancer as well as to remove the tumor tissue infected with cancer and leave the healthy kidney in place. The depth calculations are easily conducted and the tumor is removed, and the surface that the tumor was removed is stitched fast and by the depth control. The emerging tissue spaces and the injured veins and urethra are fixed.

“da VINCI ROBOTICS SURGEON” IN THE TREATMENT OF UPJ OBSTRUCTION
What is Urethra-pelvic junction (UPJ)?
The most important duty of kidney is to filter the blood and remove the waste and unnecessary salts by the urine it creates. The urine that the kidney created passing firstly small and then big collecting drains reaches pelvis renalis and from here it is transmitted to urethra and bladder for storing. The point where pelvis and urethra combines is called UPJ (Urethra-pelvic Junction)

There is a problem of urine drainage problem due to obstruction in the passing point between the pelvis and the urethra while transmitting the urine in especially childhood period. This is called UPJ obstruction. Due to the this impediment causing the transmittance of urine, the urine is collected at the pelvis and an expansion occurs in pelvis. It leads to decrease in kidney functions or to complete loss of the kidney functions as the time passes by.

How the treatment of UPJ Obstruction is carried out by Da Vinci Robotics System?
In patients diagnosed with UPJ obstruction and in case of no hopes for recovery, there is a need for surgical treatment. Whereas Some babies or children who are diagnosed by severe UPJ Obstruction can recover very fast at the first phase, in others there is no recovery but further worsening condition. Therefore there is close monitoring needed for the children in this age level.

The open pyeloplasty operation, like in the kidney operations, leads to a greater surgical cut under either the right or left side of the rib cage compared to the other close treatment methods.

In, however, the operation of UPJ obstruction with the da Vinci Robotics System, the operation is initiated with a 3 or 4 holes and then it is continued under a 3D, high-resolution and 10 or 20 more zoomed images, and the operation is carried out thanks to the elimination of the tremble effect and the ability of mobility in 7 directions acting as if it was a real hand.

Advantages

• There is not a need for big surgical cuts, rather operation is carried out on tiny holes.
• The operation is carried out under ten times bigger imaging and clear images
• The quality of the image is high-resolution and in three-dimensional.
• Due to the 3D image, there is an advantage of depth
• The robotic arms which do not tremble and move in an angle of 720 degrees can milimetrically place switches from every direction.
• The presence of cross vein is clearly demonstrated and is treated.
• After the operation, compared to the open surgery, there is less pain.
• After the operation, the period spent in the hospital takes less.
• The recovery occurs fast and in a short period.
• There is a better cosmetic appeal compared to the open surgery.

Organ Transplantation
Organs that can be transplanted in today’s medicine are: heart, lungs, heart and lungs together, liver, kidneys, pancreas and intestines. Liver, heart and kidney transplants are successfully performed in Turkey; and lately pancreas transplants are also being performed.

In addition to patient-doctor-hospital components, organ donor is an inevitable component in organ transplantation. Due to a continuous shortage of donor livers and the high incidence of liver disease, the waiting time is increasing every year. Hundreds of people die each year while waiting for a liver to be offered.

Memorial Hospital Organ Transplantation Unit is the first and the only private healthcare institution approved and licensed by the Health Department for organ (liver and kidney) transplantation and related laboratory services.

Liver and kidney transplantations are being successfully performed at Memorial Hospital Organ Transplantation Unit.

Liver Transplantation
The most common reason for liver transplant in adults is cirrhosis, a disease in which healthy liver cells are damaged (mostly caused by hepatitis B). Other conditions that cause cirrhosis are: some congenital diseases, and some metabolic diseases.

If, because of a liver failure, someone can not keep on his/her daily life and activities; then it is time for a liver transplant.

There are different sources of donor livers. Usually the liver is obtained from a cadaveric donor (a person diagnosed as "brain dead" but whose other organs and systems are functioning properly). Due to a continuous shortage of donor livers and the high incidence of liver disease, the waiting time is increasing every year. Hundreds of people die each year while waiting for a cadaveric liver to be offered. Donor livers also can be obtained from a family member or a friend who donates a portion of his/her liver to the patient.

Blood type matching and liver size matching are essential in liver transplant. If there is a family member or a friend willing to donate a part of his/her liver it is possible to save the patient’s life by removing a piece of liver a living donor and transplanting it into a recipient.

A living donor doesn't have to be a blood relative of the liver recipient, but you must have a compatible blood type. You must be in good health and be motivated to donate for altruistic reasons. If live donation is a feasible option for a patient, a donor evaluation will be performed after the recipient's testing is completed. After testing the donor, the transplant team decides whether the donation can be performed. Living donors are usually the only chance for children. Ideally, liver transplant should be between people whose blood types are matching. However, in emergency cases it could also be performed between non matching blood types, to save the patient’s life. But liver size matching is a must.

Faq
What is liver transplant?
Liver transplant can save your life; it is a surgery to remove a diseased liver and replace it with a healthy one.

When is a liver transplant indicated?
Liver transplant is indicated for many types of liver diseases like cirrhosis, some congenital diseases and liver tumors.

Where do the livers for transplants come from?
Whole livers come from people who have just died (a person diagnosed as "brain dead" but whose other organs and systems are functioning properly). This type of donor is called a cadaveric donor. In order to take the liver from the dead body; this person should have donated his/her organs or his/her relatives should agree on donating the organ after the person dies. Organs can not be sold, it is illegal.

Is it possible to perform a liver transplant from a living donor?
Yes it is. If there is a family member or a friend willing to donate a part of his/her liver it is possible to save the patient’s life by removing a piece of liver a living donor and transplanting it into a recipient. A living donor doesn't have to be a blood relative of the liver recipient, but you must have a compatible blood type. You must be in good health and be motivated to donate for altruistic reasons. If live donation is a feasible option for a patient, a donor evaluation will be performed after the recipient's testing is completed. After testing the donor, the transplant team decides whether the donation can be performed. Living donors are usually the only chance for children. Ideally, liver transplant should be between people whose blood types are matching. However, in emergency cases it could also be performed between non matching blood types, to save the patient’s life. But liver size matching is a must.

Can any liver be donated to anybody?
No it can not. There are certain qualifications in order to safely perform a liver transplant. The donor must be:
• Approximately the same weight and body size as the recipient
• Free from disease, infection, or injury that affects the liver
• Usually of the same or a compatible blood type
In very urgent cases, liver transplant could be performed between non compatible blood types to save the patient’s life.

Is liver transplant risky?
Yes. A liver transplant is about as major an operation as you can undergo. There are risks common to all forms of major surgery. Immediately after surgery, bleeding, poor function of the grafted liver, and infections are major risks. Sometimes the new liver does not function as it should; infections could be a major problem in those patients.

What is rejection?
Transplant rejection is when a transplant recipient's immune system attacks a transplanted organ or tissue.Your body's immune system protects you from potentially harmful substances, such as microorganisms, toxins, and cancer cells. These harmful substances have proteins called antigens on their surfaces. If your immune system identifies antigens that are foreign (not part of your body), it will attack them.

In the same way, foreign blood or tissue can trigger a blood transfusion reaction or transplant rejection. To help prevent this, tissue is "typed" before the transplant procedure to identify the antigens it contains.

Though tissue typing ensures that the organ or tissue is as similar as possible to the tissues of the recipient, the match is usually not perfect. No two people (except identical twins) have identical tissue antigens.

Immunosuppressive drugs are needed to prevent organ rejection. Otherwise, organ and tissue transplantation would almost always cause an immune response and result in destruction of the foreign tissue.

The goal of treatment is to make sure the transplanted organ or tissue functions properly, while at the same time suppressing the recipient's immune response. Suppressing the immune response can treat and prevent transplant rejection.

Do I have to take special medications for the rest of my life?
Yes, you will have to take anti rejection medication for the rest of your life. Taking your medication regularly is essential for a transplant to be successful. If you fail to take your medication, your immune system will immediately recognize this foreign organ and will fight against it and may cause organ failure or death.

What is the success rate of liver transplant?
The average success rate of a liver transplant is 70% to 80%.

Can I go back to my normal life after liver transplant?
Yes. After a successful liver transplant, most people can go back to their normal daily activities. It is in fact the purpose of the procedure. Pregnancy and child birth are also possible after liver transplant. Most people can engage in physical activity and exercise in a year.

Kidney Transplantation
Kidney transplant is the best treatment for patients suffering of chronic kidney failure at the terminal stage.
Patients who lost at least 80% of their kidney functions need hemodialysis or periton dialysis to survive. Dialysis provides life support for many patients however it might cause many other problems. The damage it causes on the circulation system might have a negative effect on the patient’s social life. Therefore kidney transplant is the best solution. Kidney transplant improves the quality of life of the patient by ensuring the kidneys to function properly. However kidney transplant could not be performed on every patient with kidney failure. Several examinations and tests are performed to decide whether the patient is a candidate for kidney transplant.

There are different sources of donor kidneys:

• Living donor ( from a family member)
• Cadaveric donor (a person diagnosed as brain dead but whose other organs and systems are functioning properly.

It is best to divide donor and recipient matching into 3 distinct areas: blood type matching, tissue type matching, and cross-matching. Each of these is a distinct and important aspect of donor and recipient matching.

Blood Type Matching
The basic donation pathways in kidney transplantation are very similar to those used in blood transfusions.
There are four major blood types in humans. These types are simply noted as blood type A, B, AB and O. Another factor, the Rh factor, adds a plus or a minus following the above blood type letter, so that all of us have a blood type such as A+ or B- and so on. This plus or minus factor, however, relates only to a particular cell type in the blood and this factor is not part of the kidney. Thus, the positive or negative feature in blood typing has nothing to do with the matching of a kidney between a donor and a recipient.

A recipient with blood type O can receive a kidney only from a donor with blood type O. A recipient with blood type A may receive a kidney from a recipient with blood type O or A and a recipient with blood type B can receive a kidney from a donor with blood type O or B. Obviously, a recipient with blood type AB can receive a kidney from a person of any blood type.

Tissue Matching
It is obvious that the closer the degree of tissue matching between the donor and the recipient, the longer the transplanted kidney lives. A 0 missmatch kidney has 40% more chance to live (for a 5 year period) than a 4-6 missmatch. Tissue matching is very important in cadeveric donors or if donor is a patient’s relative. However, in cases called alternative transplantation (Spouses or unrelated donors), tissue matching might not be indispensable since the patient has no other choice.

Panel Reactive Antibodies (PRA)
PRA is a way of measuring immune system activity within the body. PRA is higher when more antibodies are being made. PRA’s might grow out of pregnancy or previous transplants. These HLA antibodies should definitely be determined before the transplant. Failing to determine this antibody might cause rejection. It is possible to decrease these antibodies with a medical treatment.

Testimonials

Javon Carter, USA

My name is Javon Carter and I am an American working at an international school in Iraq. I am active and healthy but I have always been troubled of the large amount of fat in my thighs. I could never get rid of it despite exercise and diet, so I decided to have liposuction.

I contacted several hospitals in Istanbul for this procedure and immediately one stood out from the others, Hizmet Hospital. I spoke to their International Patient Coordinator, Duygu, several times while I was still in Iraq and she helped explain the procedure, an online consultation with the doctor, an all of my transportation and hotel stays during my time in Istanbul. When I arrived, someone from the hospital collected me from the airport and took me to meet to doctor.The international translator Cigdem, stayed with me throughout the entire process, explaining all and being a great support.My surgeon, was wonderful.He immediately put me at ease and he checked on me often before and after the surgery.The entire staff was great, pleasant and very supportive. I could not have been happier with my choice of Memorial Hizmet Hospital! Thank you.

Brandy L.Griffin,USA

My experience at Hizmet Hastanesi was very nice. Everyone was kind and helpful. The doctors are very nice and good at what they do. I am very thankful for the help I received while I was here.

Anja,Germany

Your personnel took very good care of me. The nurses came very often in my room to look after the infusions and to give pain reliever if necessary. The treatment was good as well. The Doctors came after and asked how I was. Also the cooperation with your administrative staff like Cigdem was very good. She was there almost every day to ask if she can do something. The treatment was pretty fast and also the room was good. There was enough comfort. I would recommend your hospital to other people so far. I can not say anything about the future and how fast the curing process will go. So far I am quite satisfied. If the healing process will also go fast and well I am pretty sure I would do it again

G.A and wife J.A., Jordan

First allow me to thank all the staff ,doctors,nurses and everyone at this great hospital. Our case is a general surgery,couldn’t do it at our country. So we started looking for a good hospital to do the surgery, we choose Hizmet Hospital in Turkey because;

• The correspondence and e-mailing with Mrs.Duygu Altunbas was up normal, she was our guide and eyes in Turkey
• Explanation was made perfectly from Mrs.Altunbas with the smallest details
• Dr. Sait Halil was so professional, he explained exactly what he’s gonna do and he did put the extra mile.
• Staff were very nice, friendly and smiley people. You don’t feel among strangers but between your family and friends.
• The anesthesiologist was very professional
• After surgery they ( the hospital and staff ) provided us with transport back to the hotel and we kept the wheel chair with us all the time we’re in Turkey.
• Our special thanks and regards to Mrs.Altunbas, she’s a real nice lady and made our stay easier in Turkey( we love u )
• Dr.Sait Halil, really you’re a great doctor.
• Songul thanks
• Many thanks to all the staff
