Needlescopic Surgery: A Minimally Invasive Advanced Technique

Needlescopic surgery is a modern and minimally invasive surgical procedure where internal organs are examined and treated through very small incisions. In this method, using a fine camera and special instruments, doctors can see directly inside the patient's body and perform the necessary procedures.

Why Choose Needlescopic Surgery?

  • Small Incisions: Compared to other types of surgery, needlescopic surgery involves very small incisions, resulting in less tissue damage to the patient's body.

  • Less Pain: Due to the small incisions, patients experience less pain and can recover more quickly.

  • Shorter Hospital Stay: Patients typically need to stay in the hospital for a shorter time after needlescopic surgery.

  • Faster Recovery: With this method, patients can return to their daily activities faster.

  • Less Bleeding: This procedure involves minimal blood loss.

  • Lower Risk of Infection: The risk of infection is lower compared to major open surgery.

How is Needlescopic Surgery Performed?

  1. Creating Incisions: Very small incisions are made in the patient's body.

  2. Inserting the Camera: A fine camera is inserted through one of the incisions.

  3. Using Instruments: With the help of the camera, doctors visualize the inside of the patient's body and complete the surgery using special instruments inserted through the other incisions.

  4. Closing the Incisions: After the surgery, the small incisions are closed.

For Which Diseases is Needlescopic Surgery Used?

Needlescopic surgery is used in the treatment of various conditions, such as:

  • Gallstones: Removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy).

  • Appendicitis: Removal of the appendix (appendectomy).

  • Hernia: Repair of hernias.

  • Bladder Stones: Removal of stones from the bladder.

  • Some Types of Cancer: Treatment of some early-stage cancers.
