Laparoscopic surgery allows you go home on the same day

The advancements in medicine have also led to revolutionary developments in the field of Urology.   

Laparoscopic surgeries, also called closed surgeries, have been used in urologic procedures for a long time. In addition, the use of endoscopy in Urology brought about the emergence of endo-urology.  

Urinary tract stones leading to unbearable pains are removed in a short time without making any incision and patients can resume their routine daily life on the same day.

For all eligible patients, laparoscopic surgery is preferred in all hospitals of the Hera Healthcare network. As the laparoscopic surgeries are carried out through tiny incisions and associated with less postoperative pain and shorter hospital stay, patient comfort and satisfaction are maximized.
