The number of minimally invasive methods as an alternative to classical surgery methods is gradually increasing in cardiac surgery, especially with the advancing technology in the last 15 years. Especially in recent years, bypass surgeries performed with robotic surgery provide a very important advantage in terms of patient comfort and speed of recovery. Robotic surgery with a 4-inch incision In Health Go Travel Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic, it is possible to apply without touching the scalpel to the chest and stopping the heart with 3 holes opened under the armpit with a robotic bypass and a 4-centimeter incision only where the rib is located. With the camera placed through an incision, a 3-dimensional image is provided with 8-10 times larger and clearer images. One surgeon attaches surgical instruments to the robot arms, the other surgeon uses these instruments on the console with the camera. It can be done without stopping the heart Coronary artery bypass surgery, mitral valve surgery, congenital heart surgery and arrhythmia surgery are performed with robots in patients suitable for robot surgery. Coronary artery bypass surgery is performed without stopping the heart or stopping the heart (using a heart-lung machine). Mitral valve operations are performed by stopping the heart. Returning to normal life in a short time As in the classical bypass, the chest area does not open and the operation is performed without stopping the heart. With robotic bypass, the patient can return to his normal life much earlier. In robotic bypass, the infection rate and bleeding are much less, and the patient also has cosmetic advantages. In robotic bypass performed with very small incisions, there is no cosmetic scar in the patient. In addition, the patient reaches normal physical condition faster. Less pain, less infection Coronary artery bypass surgery, mitral valve surgery, congenital heart surgery and arrhythmia surgery are performed with robots in patients suitable for robot surgery. Coronary artery bypass surgery is performed without stopping the heart or stopping the heart (using a heart-lung machine). Mitral valve operations are performed by stopping the heart. With robotic heart surgery, the recovery period in patients is significantly shortened, and patients can usually return to work after 15 days. Bleeding, infection, pain and blood use are much less.

Turkey's tourism, sea, history, nature, cultural heritage, delicious cuisine, brewed tea and coffee are more effective value until foamy: Healing, namely health tourism! Health tourism, which gathers many areas such as medical (medicine), thermal (spa-wellness) and elderly care, is a service industry that serves millions of people worldwide and has an annual turnover of approximately 100 billion dollars. Last five years, giving more weight to this area and every day shining star coming to Turkey to be treated around the year 400 thousand people in the world. First organ transplant, heart disease, bypass, bone marrow transplant, oncology, orthopedics, choosing to Turkey for treatment of serious illnesses such as spinal surgery Why Turkey? improving the physical conditions of the hospital, enabling with modern medical equipment and technology, the rise of quality in the services sector, of Turkish physicians to take place right on the top all over the level of the world is creating preferred because of Turkey. All of this under the supervision of Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. As an independent organization, JCI is an accreditation body of USA origin and the world's important and accepted accreditation. JCI audits healthcare facilities for compliance with more than 4,000 standards. with JCI accreditation in Turkey's 54 hospitals. While these hospitals meet criteria such as scientific competence and qualified health personnel, equipment and service quality, they also offer patients a few important advantages. Cost: The most important factor. West, a by-pass 130 thousand dollars, while in Turkey the same quality, the same operation can be performed to 11 thousand dollars. In organ transplantation, this rate can be 1/4 or even 1/5. Waiting time: The aging of the population and the long waiting times in treatment in Western countries push people to look for alternatives. For example, in some European countries, the patient sometimes waits for three months even for a serious surgery. It is also a factor that some treatments in Europe are excluded from insurance coverage. People say, "I will be on time for my treatment and take a vacation." he thinks Ease of flight: Turkish Airlines, the global carrier flying to 303 destinations in 120 countries, has a great influence and power in this field. Most of the patients, who come from 3-hour flight points, prefer the short time and easy transportation. Service: The transfer of patients from abroad and their accommodation are provided. In the treatment process, a touristic package is prepared in line with their requests. Access: Patients come by searching the achievements and studies of Turkish physicians on the internet. Social media has a big impact. Since health is the most important need, the success and reliability of health institutions and doctors come to the fore as an important factor before patients. Organ transplants, heart disease, cancer therapies, spine surgery hospitals in Turkey and the achievements of the doctors who work at the hospital level to compete with the world. This 2 million people in 2023 to come to Turkey for treatment of sufficient reason. #vacation #healthtravelturkey #healthtourismturkey

More than half of all people with cancer receive radiation therapy as part of their cancer treatment. Doctors use radiation therapy to treat almost any type of cancer. The term "radiation therapy" often refers to external beam radiation therapy. During this type of radiation, high-energy rays come from a machine that targets rays outside of your body at a precise point on your body. During a different radiation therapy called brachytherapy (brak-e-THER-uh-pee), the radiation is placed inside your body. Radiation therapy damages cells by destroying the genetic material that controls how cells grow and divide. While both healthy and cancerous cells are damaged by radiation therapy, the goal of radiation therapy is to destroy as few healthy cells as possible. Normal cells can repair most of the damage caused by radiation. How is radiation therapy used in people with cancer? Your doctor may recommend radiation therapy as an option at different times during your cancer treatment and for different reasons, including: As the sole (primary) treatment for cancer Before surgery, to shrink a cancerous tumor (neoadjuvant therapy) After surgery, to stop the growth of remaining cancer cells (adjuvant therapy) In combination with other treatments, such as chemotherapy, to destroy cancer cells To alleviate symptoms caused by cancer in advanced cancer Radiation therapy can also help treat symptoms when cancer spreads. At this point, radiation is part of palliative care aimed at relieving a person's symptoms and improving their quality of life. It can also extend a person's life in some cases. Palliative radiation therapy usually involves lower doses and fewer treatment sessions than curative therapy. For example, in some people with bone cancer, palliative radiation therapy can help prevent the development of painful tumors. Types of radiation therapy There are two types of radiation therapy. These: 1. EXTERNAL RADIATION THERAPY This is the most common type. It contains an external machine that emits a beam of radiation that targets the treatment area. Different forms are available depending on the need. For example, high-energy rays can target cancer deeper in the body. 2. INTERNAL RADIATION THERAPY There are different types of internal radiation therapy. Both involve implanting or introducing a radioactive material into the body. Brachytherapy involves placing a radioactive implant in or near cancerous tissue. Implant can be temporary or permanent. Another type of internal radiation therapy involves receiving an injection of radioactive fluid. The aim is to limit the exposure of healthy tissue around the cancer to radiation. Doctors may recommend this treatment for prostate or ovarian cancer, for example. Your doctor may recommend both main types of radiation therapy based on the type of cancer or the condition of the disease. The decision as to which treatment to take will depend on: Cancer type The size of the tumor The location of the tumor, including nearby tissue types The person's age and general health How do you prepare? Before starting external beam radiation therapy, your healthcare team guides you through the planning process to ensure that the radiation reaches the required sensitive point in your body. Planning typically includes: Radiation simulation: During the simulation, your radiation therapy team works with you to find a comfortable position for you. You must lie down during treatment. Therefore, finding a comfortable position is vital. To do this, you lie down on a special table with the one used during radiation therapy. Cushions and restraints are used to position you correctly and help keep you still. Your radiation therapy team will mark the area where your body will be exposed to radiation. Depending on your situation, you can make temporary markings with a marker or use small temporary tattoos. Scan planning: Your radiation therapy team will have you have computed tomography (CT) scans to determine the area of ​​your body to be treated. After the planning process, your radiation therapy team decides what type of radiation and in what doses you will receive based on your cancer type and stage, your overall health, and the goals of your treatment. The precise dose and focus of the radiation beams used in your treatment have been carefully planned to maximize radiation to your cancer cells and minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissue. What are the expectations from radiation therapy? External beam radiation therapy is usually performed using a linear accelerator, a machine that directs high-energy radiation beams into your body. As you lie on a table, the linear accelerator moves around you to deliver radiation from several angles. The linear accelerator can be adjusted to your specific situation to give the exact radiation dose your doctor has detected. You will usually receive outpatient external beam radiation five days a week over a period of time. In most cases, treatments are usually spread out over several weeks to allow healthy cells to heal between radiation therapy sessions. Each treatment session is expected to take approximately 10 to 30 minutes. In some cases, a single treatment may be used to relieve pain or other symptoms associated with more advanced cancers. During a treatment session, you lie down in the position determined for the radiation simulation session. Molded systems are used to keep you in place. The linear accelerator machine can rotate around your body to reach the target from different directions. The machine buzzes. During the treatment, which takes only a few minutes, you stop and breathe normally. For some patients with lung or breast cancer, you may be asked to hold your breath while the machine is performing the treatment. Your radiation therapy team is in a room with video and audio connections so you can talk to each other. You should speak up if you are uncomfortable, but you will not feel any pain during your radiation therapy session.

Calcification problem is solved with Robotic Knee Surgery. Technological advances led to robotic knee surgery. Very high success rate The problem of arthritis in the knees negatively affects the lives of people over the age of 55. While surgery is the last resort for the disease, which consists of four stages, successful results have been obtained in the operations performed with Robotic Surgery in recent years. Manual knee replacement surgeries in the past years have been replaced by Robotic Knee Surgery. Technological advances led to robotic knee surgery “As it is known, technology is developing rapidly and medicine is trying to keep up with this technology. In terms of orthopedics, the search for using technological developments in medicine led to knee prosthesis. In the previous years, knee and hip prostheses were applied to all patients with the system called manual system. Operations were performed based on certain reference points. We have seen that there were dissatisfaction rates of up to 30 percent in the surgeries performed. These dissatisfaction prompts us to investigate. As the knee structure of every patient is not the same and the reference points are insufficient, our searches led us to Robotic Knee Surgery. Special prosthesis is prepared for the patient we introduce the patient's knee structure to the robot. The device examines the entire bone structure of the patient and provides us with data specific to the patient's structure. In the light of the data presented, a special prosthesis is prepared for the patient. During the surgery, we stimulate the knee prosthesis. With this stimulation, we see issues such as flexion, excitation, tension, and looseness of the knee. The best data, mathematical data is presented to us by the robot. In line with these data, we place the prosthesis at the point where we achieve the best result. Long-lasting results are obtained with robotic surgery With this surgery, we remove the harmful tissues, we do not damage the patient's ligaments; Surgery is performed with bone incisions. Because a specific prosthesis is placed in the most accurate way with the data obtained, its life is longer. We place prostheses that are more suitable for the walking mechanics of the patient. This situation contributes to the recovery process of the patient standing up on the same day after the surgery. Most importantly, it ensures the longevity of the prosthesis. The implanted prosthesis can be used for 20-25 years. Very high success rate We apply various treatments for arthritis problems that occur in patients aged 55 and over. It is a last resort surgery in patients with knee calcification problems. The success rate is higher than manual operations. With Robotic Knee Surgery, it is observed that patients with arthritis in their knees recover faster. #roboticsurgery #healthtourism
