Closed (Laparoscopic) Surgeries

Closed (Laparoscopic) Surgeries: Fast Recovery with Minimally Invasive Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, which represents the most advanced point reached by modern gynecological surgery, is a “closed” operative technique performed through tiny, few-millimeter incisions made in the abdominal area instead of large cuts. Prof. Dr. Selçuk Erkılınç offers his patients a less painful and aesthetically more flawless treatment process by prioritizing the laparoscopic method in both oncological and routine gynecological cases.

How is Laparoscopic Surgery Performed?

Laparoscopy is carried out with the help of a thin camera (laparoscope) placed through the navel and precise surgical instruments inserted through other small openings. Thanks to high-resolution cameras, the inside of the abdomen is projected onto a screen down to the finest detail. Providing the surgeon with a much more detailed and magnified field of view compared to open surgery, this method allows the operation to be completed with millimetric precision.

What Are the Advantages of Closed Surgery?

When compared to traditional open surgery, the effects of the laparoscopic method on patient comfort are indisputable. The core benefits of this method, applied with the expertise of Prof. Dr. Selçuk Erkılınç, include:

• Fast Recovery Process: Patients are generally discharged within 24 hours after surgery and return to their normal lives in a much shorter period.

• Minimal Pain: Since there is no large surgical incision, postoperative pain levels are minimal, and the need for pain relievers is considerably low.

• Aesthetic Results: Instead of a large surgical scar in the abdominal area, millimetric marks remain, which disappear almost completely over time.

• Fewer Complications: The amount of blood loss is minimal, and the risk of infection is much lower compared to open surgeries.

In Which Conditions is Laparoscopy Used?

Prof. Dr. Selçuk Erkılınç successfully applies the closed surgery technique across a wide spectrum. The main procedures performed with this method include:

• Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus using the closed method.

• Myomectomy: Removal of fibroids without damaging the uterus.

• Ovarian Cysts: Treatment of chocolate cysts (endometriosis) and other ovarian cysts.

• Oncological Surgeries: Surgical treatments for early-stage uterine and cervical cancers.

• Tubal Ligation and Reversal: Surgical interventions related to fertility.

Why Prof. Dr. Selçuk Erkılınç?

Success in closed surgeries depends on the surgeon’s manual dexterity and case experience in this method, alongside the technology used. Combining oncological training with surgical discipline, Dr. Erkılınç aims to preserve the patient’s anatomical tissues and achieve the highest success rates, even in complex cases, by utilizing laparoscopic techniques.
