“EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF KIDNEY CANCER SAVES LIVES”
Explaining that kidney tumors do not show any symptoms of disease in the initial stages, Op. Dr. Ahad Safaralıyev: “They are usually detected during routine checks or triggers made for other reasons. Symptoms such as blood in the urine, lower back pain, weight loss and loss of appetite may indicate the presence of a mass in the kidney. Early diagnosis and treatment plays an important role in the management of kidney masses and can prevent disease progression. Although these tumors are very difficult to treat if they metastasize, they are resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. “Therefore, early diagnosis of kidney cancer saves lives,” he said.
Pointing out that laparoscopic surgery has a number of advantages over traditional open surgery, Safaralıyev said, “Since it requires smaller incisions, the recovery time of patients is generally faster. This method reduces the hospital stay of patients and allows them to return to daily activities more quickly. Laparoscopic surgery is performed with less blood loss. This reduces the need for transfusion and reduces the risk of postoperative complications. Additionally, less tissue damage caused by smaller incisions leads to reduced post-operative pain and less use of painkillers. This method provides better cosmetic results. “Because the incisions are smaller, the stitch marks are less obvious,” he said.
