At Elazığ Fethi Sekin City Hospital, surgeries using the newly applied method called ‘V-NOTES Surgery’ have started.

Continuing its successful surgeries, Elazığ Fethi Sekin City Hospital keeps offering the latest developments in the health sector to the service of the patients. One of the newly applied methods in the world, ‘V-NOTES Surgery’, which does not leave any incision marks on the patient’s body, has begun to be performed at the hospital.

Dr. Cengiz Şanlı, a specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology, provided information about NOTES surgery, which offers the opportunity for surgery without any incision marks on the patient’s body. He stated, “NOTES surgery is defined as surgery performed through natural orifices. We enter the abdominal cavity through a cut made from the vagina without any incision on the patient’s body, performing our surgery inside the abdomen. During the last surgery we performed, we operated on a patient due to vaginal pathology and entered the abdominal cavity through the same incision to remove the patient’s ovarian cysts. V-NOTES surgery is increasingly becoming common and applicable due to patient comfort and cosmetic concerns. We apply this method in our hospital using the necessary technologies,” he said.

Dr. Şanlı also mentioned the advantages of NOTES surgery, stating, “The absence of any incision marks on the patient’s body provides cosmetic benefits, the patient’s hospital stay is shorter, and the patient’s comfort after the operation is restored quickly. The next day, our patient can continue their normal life.”
