General Surgery

Umbilical Hernia is a type of hernia that occurs when the abdominal wall around the belly button weakens and the abdominal organs herniate, causing swelling and protrusion. Umbilical Hernia can occur immediately after birth or in adults for various reasons.

Incisional hernia (Incisional Hernia, Post-operative Hernia) is the name given to hernias that occur at the incision site after a surgical intervention. They occur approximately 3-4 months after the surgical incision site and are formed when the abdominal organs and tissues herniate and protrude from the incision site.

Varicose veins refer to the enlargement of veins, which can become visible under the skin in a twisted manner. Varicose veins in the legs are a venous disease that is observed in approximately one in every five or six people in the community. In the treatment of varicose veins, it is necessary to remove the diseased superficial veins that cause varicose formation, as it is not possible to correct the problematic valves.

Tears in the anus due to long-term constipation and diarrhea are called anal fissures and anal cracks. Anal cracks can cause symptoms such as pain, tenderness, burning and bleeding. The most common cause of anal fissure is constipation and long-term diarrhea. The resulting crack is very painful. Patients describe defecation as passing broken glass.

Genital warts are among the most common and rapidly increasing sexually transmitted diseases today. They occur through the infection of the HPV virus. Genital warts can be seen on the vaginal wall, external genital areas, and the anus, anal canal, and cervix in women.

A scar is a mark that appears on the skin for various reasons (such as trauma, surgical intervention, tattooing, various skin lesions, etc.).

Hemorrhoids are swellings that occur due to the dilation of veins in and around the anus. Hemorrhoids are a common disease that is seen in approximately 20-25% of the population. Not every hemorrhoid treatment is surgical. The vast majority can be cured if they are applied correctly with recommendations and medication.

Although ingrown hairs are more common in men, they are also a disease that affects women. Although they mostly occur in the coccyx area, they are also a skin disease that can be seen in areas such as the back, neck, armpits, scalp, and belly button. The most common age is between 15-35.

The treatment of boiling water burns is determined by the degree of the burn, the size, location and severity of the burned area. The first thing to do in boiling water burns is to quickly cool the burned area.

A keloid is an abnormal and excessive tissue growth that occurs on skin that has been traumatized for any reason, such as an injury, abrasion, surgery, tattoo or piercing.

Appendicitis is the disease that occurs as a result of inflammation of the organ called the appendix, the length of which varies from person to person, at the junction of the large intestine and the small intestine (occurring with the obstruction of the lumen of the appendix for any reason (fecolloid, gland, lymph node)).

Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy) is one of the methods used for gallbladder surgery. It is performed on patients who require surgery due to gallbladder problems and is done through smaller incisions compared to open surgery. This type of surgery results in smaller scars, less pain, and shortens the patient's hospital stay, thereby speeding up the recovery process.

Laser treatment for pilonidal sinus (ingrown hair) can be performed on selected and suitable patients. The pilonidal sinus disease should not be advanced (complicated). The treatment involves thoroughly cleaning and properly curetting the pilonidal sinus cavity, followed by treating this not very large cavity with a laser probe.

Inguinal hernia is a disease seen in all age groups and genders. It occurs when the abdominal wall weakens. Inguinal hernia is the protrusion of the abdominal organs from the groin through the weak side of the abdominal wall. Inguinal hernia is more common in men and constitutes the majority of all hernias.

Inguinal hernia surgery can be performed using open or closed (laparoscopic) methods. For both methods, general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia can be used.

The gallbladder is an organ located just below the liver in the right and upper abdomen. Its main function is to store and concentrate bile produced in the liver and to contribute to digestion by draining the bile into the bile duct. The most commonly used method for gallstones is laparoscopic surgery.

Lipomas are fatty glands that occur in any part of the body. They appear as yellowish masses of various sizes, surrounded by a capsule. They usually cause visual problems. Their treatment is surgical removal. They are usually benign. They do not cause health problems.

Patients with atherosclerosis and obstruction due to diabetes in the leg or foot veins are treated non-surgically with angiography methods (Balloon/Stent). Procedures are performed by entering through the groin vein or the veins in the ankle.

Moles are skin lesions formed by cells that produce melanin pigment in the skin. Moles can be found anywhere on the body and have many forms. They are usually benign skin lesions. However, some moles can turn into skin cancers called malignant melanoma over time.
