While advancing technology facilitates every aspect of life, it also provides solutions for diseases that seem impossible to treat in the field of health. Liv Hospital General Surgery Clinic aims at the best achievable results and high patient comfort with advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgeries. Robotic surgery, which is considered to be the highest point of surgery, is successfully applied in many surgeries. Liv Hospital, which is rapidly progressing towards becoming a robotic surgery training center with its extensive experience, keeps the comfort as well as patient's health at the highest level with the supportive intensive care provided after the surgery and its competent physician staff from different disciplines. In open surgery, you have to make an incision covering the abdomen to reach the inside of the abdomen, while in the laparoscopic-robotic (closed) technique, the operations can be completed with a few incisions of 0.5-1 cm in size. Thanks to its features such as 3-dimensional images, it allows even complex interventions to be performed with closed surgery method.

In Liv Hospital Chest Diseases Department, various chest diseases, lung cancer diagnosis and treatment as well as allergy tests are performed and consultancy is given on ways to quit smoking. The department also offers alternative treatments for sleep problems caused by chest diseases, breathing difficulties during sleep and snoring problems.

Bronchoscopy Laboratory

In the bronchoscopy laboratory with rigid bronchoscopy, fiberoptic bronchoscopy (with the most advanced videobronchoscopy) and EBUS, it is possible to diagnose many lung diseases, especially lung cancer, to treat with argon plasma coagulation (APC), electrocoagulation, cryotherapy, and to place endobronchial stents.

In the sleep laboratory of the department, many sleep diseases, especially snoring, are diagnosed and treated. When necessary, the decision of surgical treatment, which is taken with a multidisciplinary approach, is made by ENT physicians.

Cigaret is the most important risk factor in the development of many diseases such as lung cancer and COPD, coronary heart diseases, hypertension, vascular diseases, gastrointestinal diseases and various other types of cancer.

Allergy Tests

With the allergy tests performed in Liv Hospital Chest Diseases Department, the substances that the patients are allergic to are determined and information is given about the ways of protection. Physicians who see whether they affect lung capacity in respiratory tests performed for COPD patients, advise their patients on smoking cessation methods when necessary.
 
Sleep Laboratory

The best way to start a new day full of energy is through a healthy sleep. For a better life, a more productive work life and happier, a healthy sleep is essential for every person.
Liv Hospital, which has established a special laboratory for sleep, which has such an important place in our lives, performs the diagnosis and treatment of people with sleep problems. Before the treatment in the Sleep Laboratory, the physicians who research the causes of patient's sleep problem, after the tests, start pressurized oxygen therapy if the problem is caused by chest diseases. Sleep problems may not only be caused by chest diseases. This problem can sometimes be of interest to Neurology, Ear-Nose-Throat and Psychiatry. In such cases, the Sleep Laboratory directs patients to the relevant departments with a multidisciplinary approach and ensures the completion of the treatment.
