Purpose of the Study:
- To assess Turkish surgeons' current experience and perceptions of SILS.
- To identify factors influencing the adoption and barriers to SILS in Turkey.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional survey was distributed to Turkish surgeons.
- Questionnaire assessed SILS experience, perceptions, education, and motivations.
- Data analyzed based on demographic characteristics.
Main Results:
- No significant factors influenced surgical approach preference.
- Personal achievement and satisfaction were primary drivers for performing SILS (57%).
- Lack of interest and perceived necessity were key reasons for not performing SILS (62.1%).
- Need for special equipment and training were major barriers (61%).
Conclusions:
- Turkish surgeons' adoption of SILS is primarily linked to personal satisfaction.
- Barriers to SILS adoption include perceived lack of necessity and training requirements.
