Overview:
Doç. Dr. Cihan Comba is a recognized gynecologic‑oncology surgeon specialized in minimally invasive and robotic surgeries for gynecologic cancers. His major interest and expertise centers around female genital tract cancers — including uterine (endometrial), ovarian, cervical, vulvar/vaginal cancers — and he offers advanced, state-of-the-art surgical interventions for these conditions.
He is among the early adopters and pioneers in Turkey of the scarless surgical technique known as VNOTES (Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery), and has combined this with sentinel lymph‑node dissection — considered a major global advance in oncologic surgery.
He maintains academic involvement, with multiple peer‑reviewed publications (on endometrial cancer surgery, sentinel lymph node techniques, minimally invasive gynecologic oncology, reproductive health) — making him active both clinically and academically.
His training includes advanced courses: robotic‑surgery certification (2018), minimally invasive gynecological surgery workshops, internationally‑oriented oncology surgery trainings, demonstrating commitment to global standards.
Conditions Treated:
- Uterine (endometrial) cancer.
- Ovarian cancer and ovarian tumors/malignancies.
- Cervical (uterine‑cervix) cancer / premalignant lesions (CIN, HPV‑related disease) Vulvar and vaginal cancers.
- Gestational trophoblastic diseases / molar pregnancy / related disorders (per his specialization list)
- Benign gynecologic conditions when indicated (e.g. endometriosis, fibroids / myomas / endometrioma), though his main focus remains on oncologic surgery.
Procedures Performed:
- Minimally invasive and robotic‑assisted gynecologic oncology surgeries — for uterus, ovary, cervix, vulva/vagina.
- Sentinel lymph node biopsy and dissection — for staging and oncologic management in gynecologic cancers.
- Scarless/transvaginal natural‑orifice surgery (VNOTES) for hysterectomy or cancer surgeries when appropriate.
- Standard and advanced open or laparoscopic surgeries for complex gynecologic oncologic cases when indicated (e.g. debulking, cytoreductive surgery, tumor resections).
- Multidisciplinary oncologic care in collaboration with chemotherapy / radiotherapy / pathology / imaging — as part of holistic cancer management.
