da Vinci Robotic Surgical System

The da Vinci Robotic Surgical System is an advanced minimally invasive surgical technology that helps perform certain oncological operations through small incisions. The surgeon controls the operation from a console, guided by high-resolution, magnified, three-dimensional images.

Articulated surgical instruments that mimic the movements of the human hand and wrist allow precise work in narrow, hard-to-reach anatomical areas. Steps such as cutting, tissue dissection and suturing are performed under the surgeon’s control; the system does not perform the operation on its own.

By supporting small-incision procedures in suitable patients and controlled work by the surgeon in the operating field, the system can be used in a variety of surgical procedures. Whether da Vinci robotic surgery is suitable is determined by the patient’s clinical condition and the surgeon’s assessment.

Elekta Unity 1.5 Tesla MR-Linac

MR-Linac is a “smart radiotherapy” method that destroys the tumor with radiation beams, targeting it with special imaging and measurements.

Equipped with more advanced hardware than conventional radiotherapy, MR-Linac offers new and important benefits to both the patient and the radiation oncologist thanks to the MR (magnetic resonance) imaging integrated into radiotherapy.

With the MR-Linac method, even tumors in moving organs can be irradiated and destroyed with pinpoint accuracy during treatment. While the tumor is being irradiated, the surrounding healthy tissue is protected with great precision. The most active and aggressive parts of the tumor can be identified and given a higher radiation dose.

Versa HD Linac

A modern linear accelerator (Linac) is a device that produces high-energy X-rays and electron beams to treat cancer patients. Radiation therapy is based on the interaction between matter and radiation. Thanks to the Symmetry feature of the Elekta Versa HD, tumor and healthy organ movements are monitored during treatment, helping to prevent possible errors. With special accessories with a precision of up to 1 mm, it also allows the treatment of brain tumors.

With the Surface Guided Radiotherapy System (SGRT):

• Reliable treatment

• Prevention of wrong-patient and wrong-site risk

• Continuous monitoring of patient movement

• No need for marker tattoos

• Mask-free treatment option for claustrophobic patients • No additional radiation exposure

Targeted Radiation in Cancer Treatment: Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy is a method used before or after external radiotherapy to increase the dose delivered to the tumor and thus improve local control of the disease.

Brachytherapy is a type of radiotherapy used in the treatment of cancer patients. It uses radiation to kill cancer cells. Biologically targeting cancer cells, brachytherapy is applied especially to cancerous areas in the body such as the breast, prostate, lung, brain, liver and stomach. It is frequently and successfully used in the treatment of gynecological cancers (uterus, cervix, vagina), lung cancer and skin cancers.

Robotic and Fully Automated Drug Preparation

In the chemotherapy unit, located on a separate floor of the hospital, patients receive their treatment in a comfortable setting, while their medications are prepared by fully automated robotic systems without human contact, under sterile conditions that protect both staff and patient safety.

Patient- and Environment-Friendly Anesthesia Device

At our hospital, routine low-flow anesthesia is performed with anesthesia devices that we have adopted as patient-, environment- and cost-friendly, together with the experience of our entire anesthesia team, led by our specialist physicians. With this practice, the fresh gas flow given to the patient per minute is reduced from 4–5 liters to 0.4–0.5 liters. The aim is to prevent lung problems that may develop, especially in long procedures.

High Accuracy in Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment - PET/CT

PET/CT is an advanced imaging method that combines positron emission tomography and computed tomography. It produces three-dimensional images of changes in the body and makes it possible to monitor cancerous cells. With high-quality lesion detectability and spatial resolution, it provides accurate detection of even the smallest cancer lesions. PET/CT is used particularly to locate newly developing metastases and to determine the stage of cancer.

C-Arm X-Ray That Shortens Surgery Time

With its precise imaging capacity of a 16 cm volume, the C-arm X-ray device produces three-dimensional images even in dense tissue and in critically ill patients. Automatic positioning and a wide patient clearance make routine surgical operations easier for our physicians and offer our patients a more comfortable experience. In addition, its high X-ray penetration improves diagnostic accuracy, especially in overweight patients.

Mammography with Simultaneous Biopsy

With our new-generation mammography device, effective images and successful results can be achieved in breast examinations. Thanks to high mAs values, new compression technology improvements, software and hardware, the average dose received during imaging is reduced and patients experience minimal stress. Stereotactic biopsy during mammography, one of the features patients look for most, is possible with our mammography device. In addition, with advanced breast tomosynthesis and 3D imaging, even the smallest lesions can be detected successfully, increasing the chance of early diagnosis of breast cancer.

Fingerprint-Operated Computerized Medication System

Our hospital aims to raise patient experience and safety to the highest level with up-to-date technological equipment. The medication management system is a special method of dispensing the medications prescribed to our inpatients from a closed system, in the required amount and in the patient’s name. In this system, which the nurse accesses in a controlled and secure way with a personal password and fingerprint, it is possible to see who took a medication, when, and in what amount. In this way, the system minimizes medication errors.

640-Slice CT System with Fast Scanning and High Diagnostic Value

The new high-end computed tomography system, which uses X-rays, plays an effective role in early diagnosis and treatment. By scanning 640 slices and a 16 cm area in a single rotation, its fast imaging technology significantly reduces the radiation dose given to our patients. Besides being one of the world’s most powerful scanners, the new CT system offers 3D examinations with the highest diagnostic value and quality. In addition, coronary CT angiography can be performed for our emergency patients 24 hours a day.

3 Tesla MRI with a Wider and More Comfortable Design

Used in the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases, 3 Tesla MRI is one of the most advanced imaging methods. In addition to high image quality that allows small lesions to be detected, it aims for maximum patient comfort. For many people, an MRI can be a dark, noisy and frightening experience. With its wider design and Cinema Vision MR video system, the 3 Tesla MRI offers patients a more satisfying experience. Thanks to the option of watching 3D films and television, the MRI can be completed without the need for sedation.

High Precision in Neurosurgery - Surgical Microscope

In delicate brain and nerve surgery, the surgical microscope’s sharp focus aims to protect the patient from the risk of paralysis and avoid damage to healthy cells. Especially in tumor surgery, it gives the best results by enabling safe surgery in identifying the tumor area and working with a focus on the tumor. With its special FusionOptics technology, advanced optics and three integrated fluorescence modes, the device allows focusing on every critical detail and provides the best possible support for precise movement during surgery.

New-Generation Endoscopy - High-Definition Endoscopy System

With the high-definition endoscopy system, advanced non-surgical endoscopic techniques are used to treat early-stage esophageal, stomach and colon cancers and polyps. HD imaging technology makes it possible to remove tumors of the digestive system with the ESD method without any incision in the body, and to clearly remove early-stage polyps in the digestive system. It is also used as an endoscopic treatment method for achalasia, as well as for rare conditions such as diffuse esophageal spasm and excessive contraction of the esophagus.

Minimal X-Ray Waiting Time - Mobile X-Ray

Thanks to its high image enhancement capability, the mobile X-ray device provides images that facilitate diagnosis and treatment. With its powerful battery system, motorized drive and flexible positioning, it can be moved quickly and easily to any department in the hospital. This keeps our patients’ X-ray waiting time to a minimum.
