This surgical approach is very carefully sought as it can present several complications. Children are often the ones on whom this surgery is performed. Sleep apnea, recurrent tonsil infections, sinus and ear problems, abnormal dentofacial growth, and suspicion of a malignant mass are the common indications for this surgery. This procedure is done under general anesthesia, with no incisions placed on the outside of the skin. Both the adenoids and the tonsils are then ligated and then removed. The procedure roughly takes about 1 to 2 hours. • Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery The gallbladder is an organ located just below the liver. Its main function is the storage of bile, which is used for the absorption of fats from the small intestine. Due to many different factors, there are a few pathologies that exist in the gallbladder, indicating its removal. The most common indication for the removal of this organ is the presence of gallstones. People who complain of extreme abdominal discomfort after having a meal are suspected to have stones in their gallbladder. A proper physical exam is performed on such individuals at the Canakkale Hospital followed by an Abdominal Ultrasound and routine lab tests. Elevation of certain enzymes and stones on ultrasound are usually diagnostic features and indications for gallbladder removal and surgery. The gallbladder is removed through a Laparoscopic technique owing to the fewer side effects.

However, there are also many lung pathologies that are first excluded such as; upper airway obstruction, pneumothorax, and pleural effusion thorough examination and proper history taking at the Canakkale Hospital. The first and immediate step is to secure the airway and improve airway ventilation in such conditions. Chronic Respiratory Failure is due to excessive damage to the airway passages, resulting in less amount of oxygen being transported into the lungs. Such patients are identified with high levels of carbon dioxide or low levels of oxygen in their blood. These patients come with shortness of breath, extreme fatigue, having difficulty in breathing, cyanosis, and a distinct wheezing sound that can be heard during auscultation. Pulse oximetry, and arterial blood gases test determines the low levels of oxygen in the blood. Therefore, in order to raise levels of oxygen, high flow oxygen is given to such patients. Tracheostomy or mechanical ventilator are other options that are then used to help improve respiratory effort. For patients with COPD, there are two ways to revive such a patient which is employed at the Canakkale Hospital. Respiratory rehabilitation and lung volume reduction surgery are the two followed methods for such individuals.
