Robotic knee replacement surgery in Turkey

Treatment: Knee replacement (Total)
Provider: Turan & Turan Health Group

Wendy Mitchell, 66, of Arizona, USA, describes her experience of travelling to Bursa, Turkey, for her second knee replacement operation:

"I observed my knee becoming worse while I traveled with my husband around Europe.

I made a call to my physician in my native state to ask about the timing.

I eventually learned that the earliest appointment I could get with my doctor was in May, which was six months away.

I began looking into the top doctors in Europe while I was there. Dr. Kayhan Turan's name was also mentioned. I filled out a contact form after reading all of his evaluations, and I was contacted later that day and scheduled a meeting for later today. I was surprised that everything went easily and was completed the same day within 3–5 hours, including all tests, the X-ray, the MRI, and visiting the Doctor!

I underwent my first knee replacement procedure in the United States five years ago, and to to compare my two procedures, I can say that in Turkey, I got robotic surgery. Five years ago, I underwent a standard knee replacement. But I was in a lot more discomfort. As a result, my most recent operation and the level of care I received here were much, much, better.

Traditional surgical methods can be replaced by robotic surgery. Robotic surgery is not automated; rather, it is carried out by skilled surgeons who employ computerized tools to increase surgical accuracy.

Patients may benefit in a number of ways when robotic surgery is utilized in place of conventional surgery, including:

Reduced blood loss during surgery, decreased risk of infection and other problems, reduced post-operative discomfort, less scarring, and improved cosmetic results. A faster transition back to regular daily activities.

I learned that people were considerate of my needs and provided me with exceptional care, which aided my mental health and helped me recover rapidly.

After spending a few days in the hospital, I was discharged and I kept on exploring Europe with my husband."
