Additional source terms: THE WAFI PROCEDURE FOR RECTAL AND COLORECTAL CANCER ADVANCED MINIMALLY INVASIVE COLORECTAL SURGERY EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE AT Anadolu Medical Center – Developed and performed by Prof. Vafi Atalay About the WAFI Procedure The WAFI Procedure is an innovative surgical concept designed to protect the colorectal anastomosis following surgery for rectal and colorectal cancers. After the diseased portion of the intestine or rectum is removed, intestinal continuity is restored by creating a colorectal anastomosis. To protect this surgical connection during the critical healing phase, the WAFI technique uses a controlled tube-based ileostomy diversion system. This system temporarily diverts intestinal contents away from the anastomosis, helping reduce the risk of complications while maintaining bowel continuity. Unlike conventional diversion techniques that require the creation of a stoma and a second operation for closure, the WAFI system allows temporary diversion through a tube-based mechanism that can be removed once healing is complete. The procedure can be performed using laparoscopic or robot-assisted minimally invasive colorectal surgery, allowing precise oncologic resection while minimizing surgical trauma and supporting faster postoperative recovery. This specialized surgical approach is exclusively performed at Anadolu Medical Center.

Additional source terms: LAPAROSCOPIC LEFT HEMICOLECTOMY – MINIMALLY INVASIVE REMOVAL OF THE LEFT COLON Laparoscopic left hemicolectomy provides an effective minimally invasive treatment option for diseases affecting the left colon. The laparoscopic approach allows surgeons to perform precise colorectal surgery through small incisions while minimizing surgical trauma and supporting faster recovery. PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION Laparoscopic left hemicolectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure involving the removal of the left portion of the colon using advanced laparoscopic techniques. Small incisions are used to insert surgical instruments and a camera, allowing surgeons to perform the procedure with high precision. After removal of the affected colon segment, the remaining parts of the intestine are reconnected to restore digestive continuity. WHAT’S INCLUDED The treatment package includes: • Laparoscopic left hemicolectomy surgery • One surgical assistant during the operation • Pre-operative anesthesiology evaluation and routine anesthesia tests • Operating room services and surgical team • All procedure-related surgical materials and medications • Daily physician visits during hospitalization • Approximately 10 days inpatient hospital stay (including 1 day ICU monitoring) • Accommodation for one accompanying person • Standard pathological examination of the surgical specimen
