About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric General, Abdominal, Cancer, Colorectal, Endocrine and Bariatric Surgery at the Baskent University Hospital Istanbul offers the full range of surgical interventions in the areas of its competence. The department's team of surgeons specializes in the surgical treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, including the liver, pancreas, gallbladder and bile ducts, endocrine glands, as well as pathologies of the anal canal, rectum and colon. In addition, the department performs surgery to treat morbid obesity in patients with a body mass index above 35. The clinical practice is especially focused on the treatment of cancers of the digestive system. Whenever possible, the department's surgeons prefer sparing minimally invasive interventions, after which the patient does not need a long hospital stay. Such surgical procedures exclude any pronounced pain, which reduces the need for pain medications. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Feza Yarbug Karakayalı.
The specialists in the field of general and abdominal surgery perform surgical treatment of benign and malignant diseases of the stomach, small intestine, esophagus, gallbladder, bile ducts, etc. In addition, the department performs operations to remove the appendix, surgical treatment of inguinal, umbilical and incisional hernias. In most cases, surgeons manage to avoid open surgery and perform the intervention using sparing laparoscopic techniques. Laparoscopic surgery does not require large skin incisions and does not leave any visible scars on the patient's body. When performing minimally invasive surgery, the surgeon makes only a few short incisions, while some surgical procedures can be performed through natural openings in the human body. However, such surgery does not always help achieve all the goals of treatment, and therefore, if clinically indicated, classical open operations are performed.
Gastrointestinal cancer is treated in close cooperation with gastroenterologists, oncologists, chemotherapists, radiation therapists and other experts in related fields. An interdisciplinary approach guarantees effective comprehensive cancer treatment, taking into account all the features of the disease. The specialists jointly think over the tactics of treatment, which aims to completely eliminate the patient from oncology or achieve stable remission in the case of terminal stages of cancer.
The department's scope of tasks includes the surgical treatment of proctological disorders. The doctors mostly deal with the treatment of patients suffering from hemorrhoids, anal fissures, fistulas, chronic constipation, fecal incontinence, rectal prolapse, perianal warts and other pathologies. Prior to the operation, the department's doctors carry out comprehensive diagnostics using rectoscopy, anorectal manometry and various laboratory tests. Only if conservative treatment does not yield results, the patient will be indicated for surgery.
Another important focus of the department's surgical team is the surgical treatment of morbid obesity. The experts make such a diagnosis in patients with a body mass index above 40, or with a BMI of 35 with concomitant diseases. The doctors of the department have extensive experience in the field of bariatric surgery. The department successfully performs such operations as gastric bypass surgery and sleeve gastroplasty. It is obvious that surgery is not a first-line treatment. The patient is initially prescribed conservative measures, which necessarily include diet and exercise. Only in case of ineffectiveness of conservative measures, the doctors have to resort to surgical methods. However, after the operation, the patient also has to follow a proper diet and exercise regularly. Such measures will help to consolidate the result and maintain a normal weight. It should be noted that obesity is a rather dangerous pathological condition, since it often provokes the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, arterial hypertension, heart failure, shortness of breath and other diseases that pose a danger to human life.
The department's range of services is complemented by pediatric surgery. The pediatric surgeons provide treatment to young patients under the age of 16. The surgeons mostly have to deal with surgical procedures to correct congenital anomalies. With appropriate indications, it is possible to perform sparing laparoscopic operations. The department's surgeons easily find a common language with children and make every effort to rid the child of the fear of treatment.
