Mehmet Bakal (64), who lives in Uşak and was diagnosed with rectal cancer, regained his health with robotic surgery at IUE Medical Point Hospital. Bakal said, “I regained my health in a short time. People around me do not believe that I had surgery.”
Izmir University of Economics Medical Point Hospital continues to heal with robotic surgery technology. Mehmet Bakal, who lives in Uşak and was diagnosed with rectal cancer, chose IUE Medical Point Hospital as a result of his researches and was operated with robotic surgery technology and regained his health. Explaining the disease process, Bakal said, “I was diagnosed with rectal cancer in Uşak. The staff there advised me to find a surgeon trained in his field. As a result of my research, I found IUE Medical Point Hospital and Prof. Dr. Özgür Fırat. I came and started treatment.”
“I returned to normal in a short time”
Emphasizing that he was operated with robotic surgery, Bakal said, “Our doctor Özgür told me that I needed surgery and that we had two options. Either I would choose the classical method or robotic surgery. I preferred robotic surgery and I had my surgery and regained my health. I returned to my normal life in a short time. When the people around me see me healthy and vigorous like this, they say 'It's like you've never had surgery'.”
“We took advantage of the advantages of the robot”
Prof. Dr. Özgür Fırat from the Department of General Surgery at IUE Medical Point Hospital emphasized the advantages of robotic surgery technology in rectal cancer surgery. Fırat said, “In the modern approach, the treatment of rectal cancer requires starting with chemotherapy and radiation therapy before surgery - depending on the patient's suitability. After completing these treatments, we recommended robotic surgery to our patient due to its advantages in rectal cancer surgeries. We performed a successful surgery with the patient's acceptance. He was able to do his own work 2-3 days after the surgery. We also experienced the advantages of the robot in our patient.”
