Bahçelievler Memorial Hospital General Surgery Department Prof. Dr. Ediz Altınlı gave information about the treatment of hemorrhoids with bluetooth. Stating that hemorrhoids, which are caused by the enlargement or swelling of blood vessels, negatively affect the comfort of life with complaints such as pain, discharge, swelling, itching and bleeding. Dr. Ediz Altınlı said, “Today, in addition to classical hemorrhoid surgeries, the Doppler device stands out among the treatments that increase the quality of life of patients and shorten the recovery period. Hemorrhoids treatment with the Doppler device, which is a solution to gas and stool incontinence problems in advanced age, is now carried out with bluetooth technology. Supporting the infrastructure of Doopler, the bluetooth technology that is synchronized with the device and does not require a cable makes the operation process comfortable for both the patient and the doctor. After the painless procedure, which lasts for 20 minutes, patients can return to their normal lives one day after the procedure. he said.
Treatment of the disease hidden in society with advanced technology
Altınlı continued his words as follows: “Hemorrhoidal veins are the blood vessels anatomically located at the breech exit and in the lower part of the rectum. The enlargement of these blood vessels and their swelling in the form of a pillow is called hemorrhoidal disease (hemorrhoids). The most important reason why the disease, which is seen in both women and men, is remembered with bad stories in the society, was the method of the procedure and the operations after which it is very difficult to return to daily life. In traditional surgeries, complaints such as removing the hemorrhoid and suturing the area, the necessity of long-lasting dressing and gas leakage afterward, kept the patients away from the treatment. Today, small incision surgeries called minimally invasive have begun to be applied to prevent the negative experiences of patients. Bluetooth and Doppler technology, which has been applied recently, gives successful results in the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease with the comfortable procedure it provides to both the patient and the doctor. The Doppler device is placed inside the breech, and with the bluetooth technology that supports the infrastructure of the system, the surgeon is able to use his hands comfortably during the procedure.
Painless and easy procedure in 20 minutes
Expressing that the process takes 20 minutes with Bluetooth and doppler technology, Prof. Dr. Ediz Altınlı said, “The patient under general anesthesia stays in the hospital for one day after the procedure and is discharged painlessly. Since the device is placed in the breech during the operation, the patient almost does not feel pain and there is no scarring. The patient can return to his normal life in a short time. After the Bluetooth Doppler procedure, there is no need for a sitz bath after hemorrhoid surgeries.” said.
Walking and swimming 1 day after surgery
Stating that patients can return to their normal lives one day after Doppler treatment with Bluetooth, Prof. Dr. Ediz Altınlı listed some points that should be considered after the procedure:

Do not ride a bicycle, motorcycle or horse for 3 months,
Rowing should not be done for 3 months,
