Robotic Adrenalectomy Turkey

What is adrenalectomy?

Adrenalectomy surgery is a procedure performed when cancer is detected in the adrenal gland or when benign adenomas cause metabolic pathology by secreting excessive hormones.

What are the indications for adrenalectomy?

Adrenalectomy is indicated in cases of known cancer or suspected cancerous lesions, lesions of a size that has a high probability of becoming cancerous (usually >5 cm),and in cases of metabolic diseases such as Cushing's syndrome, Conn's syndrome, and pheochromocytoma that cause excessive hormone secretion.

How is adrenalectomy done?

Adrenalectomy can be performed through open surgery or using minimally invasive surgical techniques such as laparoscopic or robotic surgery.

What are the advantages of robotic adrenalectomy?

Thanks to its precise vision, 7-axis movement capability, elimination of hand vibrations in the surgical field, and minimal incisions (8 mm trocars),robotic adrenalectomy results in:

  • Less bleeding
  • Faster healing
  • Less pain
  • Better surgical success.

How painful is an adrenalectomy?

When adrenalectomy is performed using the open method, it is a major surgery and can cause significant pain due to the size of the incision and the resulting muscle damage. However, with laparoscopic and especially robotic adrenalectomy, the need for pain medication is significantly reduced and the surgery becomes more comfortable because of the minimal incision and minimal damage to surrounding tissues.

Which is better? Laparoscopic or robotic adrenalectomy?

Robotic adrenalectomy, compared to laparoscopic adrenalectomy, allows for better dissection of surrounding tissues and vessels due to the precision and greater range of motion of the robotic arms. However, the higher cost of robotic surgery compared to laparoscopic adrenalectomy is a disadvantage.

How long is the hospital stay after an robotic adrenalectomy?

Robotic adrenalectomy is a minimally invasive technique, leading to rapid recovery and significantly shorter hospital stays. The average hospital stay is 24-48 hours.

How long does a robotic adrenalectomy surgery take?

While every surgery has its own story, robotic adrenalectomy takes approximately 2 hours. This time can vary depending on the reason for the adrenalectomy (cancer or adenoma),the patient's scars from previous surgery, and the surgeon's experience.

Who is the best adrenal surgeon in the world?

Answering this question would be biased and unethical. Adrenalectomy is a frequently performed surgery by Dr. Arif Demirbaş. Previously performed laparoscopically, we now perform this surgery using Da Vinci robotic surgery.

Surgeons performing robotic adrenalectomy

Robotic adrenalectomy performed with the Da Vinci robotic system is carried out by Dr. Arif Demirbaş for patients diagnosed with adrenal cancer, Cushing's syndrome, Conn's syndrome, and pheochromocytoma.

Robotic adrenalectomy cost in Turkey

In Türkiye, the average cost of robotic adrenalectomy, including hospital stay expenses, is between $10,000 and $12,000. The price varies depending on factors such as hospital conditions and the indications for the surgery. Robotic adrenalectomy is performed by Dr. Arif Demirbaş at Doruk Nilüfer Hospital using the Da Vinci robotic system.
