General surgery is a method applied by repairing the organ or cutting out the problematic organ with surgery in diseases that cannot be treated by applying drug therapy or different medical treatment methods.

Surgical procedures are operations performed by general surgeons and specialist doctors. Anesthesiologists, nurses and surgical technicians are known as part of the team.

Laparoscopic surgery, one of the general surgery methods, is based on the principle of visualizing the abdominal organs by inserting a thin telescope through the belly button into the abdomen. Laparoscopy surgery is performed under general anesthesia.

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as "closed", "knife-less" or "bloodless surgery", allows direct observation of the disease or problem by illuminating the abdomen.

In this method, if necessary, treatment is applied with auxiliary devices inserted through 3-5 mm holes drilled at various points in the abdomen at the same time. With these devices, all of the intra-abdominal organs can be evaluated from a wider angle with magnification during the operation.

 

It is applied in many surgical procedures, especially in obesity treatment, gallbladder, inguinal hernia, appendicitis, reflux and stomach hernia.
