About The Service
A Surgical Opinion Before an Operation
General surgery at Estecenter begins with the question of whether you need an operation at all. Abdominal pain, a hernia, a breast change or a lump under the skin is examined in Istanbul so the cause is clear before a date is set.
- Consultation for hernias, anal symptoms, breast changes and soft-tissue lumps
- Examination that distinguishes a problem which can wait from one which should not
- Imaging or biopsy arranged when a diagnosis cannot rest on examination alone
The Operations Most Often Performed Here
The surgical list is practical: groin and umbilical hernias, haemorrhoids, fissures, fistulas, pilonidal sinus, lipomas, cysts, abscesses and excision or biopsy of a breast mass. Many are planned as day-case procedures under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the finding.
- Mesh or tissue repair chosen for the type of hernia, not from habit
- Anal conditions treated with a discreet examination and a proportionate operation
- Skin and subcutaneous masses removed and sent for pathology when that is required
Day-Case Care and the Days After
A short procedure still needs a proper recovery plan. You are told how to care for the wound, what pain is expected, and which changes should bring you back to the Şişli clinic or to urgent care if you have already travelled home.
- Local-anaesthetic options for suitable minor soft-tissue surgery
- Written wound care and activity limits for hernia and anal operations
- Pathology results explained when a lump has been removed or biopsied
Good general surgery is as much the decision not to operate as the operation itself.

General Surgery & Diagnostics
General Surgery Consultation
A general surgery consultation is an expert surgical assessment to diagnose your condition and plan the right treatment. Surgery is advised only when it is indicated.

General Surgery & Diagnostics
Abdominal Pain Evaluation
Abdominal pain evaluation is a thorough assessment to identify the cause of pain and guide treatment. It begins with clinical review rather than an operation.

General Surgery & Diagnostics
Hernia Evaluation
Hernia evaluation assesses inguinal, umbilical and other hernias to determine the best surgical approach. Repair is recommended only if it is indicated.

General Surgery & Diagnostics
Haemorrhoid & Anal Disease Evaluation
Haemorrhoid and anal disease evaluation diagnoses haemorrhoids, fissures and other anal conditions with a discreet, comfortable examination before treatment is chosen.

General Surgery & Diagnostics
Breast Disease Evaluation
Breast disease evaluation is a clinical assessment of lumps and other changes. Examination alone does not rule out cancer, so further tests are arranged when needed.

General Surgery & Diagnostics
Skin & Soft Tissue Lesion Evaluation
Skin and soft-tissue lesion evaluation examines lumps to decide whether removal or biopsy is needed. The decision follows clinical assessment of the lesion.

General Surgical Procedures
Inguinal Hernia Surgery
Inguinal hernia surgery repairs a groin hernia, often with mesh, to relieve pain and help prevent complications. The repair follows assessment of the hernia.

General Surgical Procedures
Umbilical Hernia Surgery
Umbilical hernia surgery repairs a hernia at the navel to close the defect and relieve symptoms. The operation is planned after the hernia has been assessed.

General Surgical Procedures
Haemorrhoid Surgery
Haemorrhoid surgery treats haemorrhoids that do not respond to conservative measures. It is not the first step for every case.

General Surgical Procedures
Anal Fissure Surgery
Anal fissure surgery is a procedure to heal a chronic anal fissure and relieve pain and bleeding. Many fissures are treated without surgery first.

General Surgical Procedures
Anal Fistula Surgery
Anal fistula surgery treats an anal fistula to close the tract and reduce the chance of recurrence. It does not promise that the fistula will never return.

General Surgical Procedures
Pilonidal Sinus Surgery
Pilonidal sinus surgery removes a sinus at the tailbone to treat infection and reduce recurrence. It does not promise that the sinus will never return.

General Surgical Procedures
Skin & Subcutaneous Mass Excision
Skin and subcutaneous mass excision removes skin and under-skin masses, and pathology is arranged when it is required to confirm the nature of the tissue.

General Surgical Procedures
Lipoma Removal
Lipoma removal is excision of a benign-appearing fatty lump for comfort or cosmetic reasons. Pathology is used if there is doubt, and the lump should not be self-diagnosed.

General Surgical Procedures
Sebaceous Cyst Removal
Sebaceous cyst removal excises the cyst to reduce recurrence and infection. The sac should be removed as part of the procedure.

General Surgical Procedures
Abscess Drainage
Abscess drainage treats a skin or soft-tissue abscess so that infection can be cleared and pain relieved.

General Surgical Procedures
Minor Soft Tissue Surgery
Minor soft-tissue surgery covers small day-case procedures on skin and soft tissue under local anaesthetic.

General Surgical Procedures
Breast Mass Excision / Biopsy
Breast mass excision or biopsy removes or samples a breast lump to obtain a diagnosis and guide treatment. The choice depends on the clinical findings.
