About the department
The Department of Pediatric Surgery at the Memorial Sisli Hospital Istanbul offers the full range of modern surgical interventions for the treatment of various pathologies in children. The surgeons of the medical facility also provide the surgical treatment of congenital pathologies detected in the fetus at the stage of intrauterine development. The department's specialists admit young patients between the ages of 0 and 14 years. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Nuvit Sarımurat.
The department's medical team devotes enough time to counseling parents and does everything possible in order to make the treatment as painless as possible for the child. Whenever possible, the surgeons use laparoscopic and thoracoscopic access, which significantly reduces and facilitates the postoperative recovery period – after a couple of days, the child can already move and play freely. When planning treatment tactics, the doctors necessarily take into account the age of the young patient and the individual physiological characteristics of the growing organism. Both simple routine operations and advanced interventions are performed according to current clinical protocols.
