(Translated by Google) My wife had for many years (more than 10) a problem with bowel movement and somehow those who are sick in general, over time inevitably get used to a situation where they have not been able to find a permanent solution. We went to both specialists in Switzerland (we have been living in Switzerland for the last few years) and in Greece, where the suggested diagnoses (dents, adhesions) and solutions such as special drinks (Alexandria leaf tea) to facilitate evacuation, probiotics, exercise and appropriate diet. For a few adhesions we did a laparoscopic operation a few years ago, but nothing really changed. He had colonoscopies almost every 3 years because we were afraid of polyps and other things.
The bowel problem has been getting worse and worse over the past 2 years (folding the body or eating something that we know does not cause an allergy (or inflammation), the large intestine suddenly swells excessively), where at some point (in the last few months) we need one micro-enema a week, at least. And when we say at least we mean the micro-enema didn't help because the problem (bloating) was high in the gut, so we tried to solve the problem with a regular enema at home. We discussed the issue of bowel surgery many times but we were afraid because it is a delicate operation and no one knows what could happen, and we were also not informed enough (we had the image that such operations are carried out with a large incision in the body, where it scared us especially).
I had planned at the beginning of November 2022 to go on vacation for a week in Greece and at that time my wife suddenly developed this problem again. When something like this happens I often search the internet. I was looking to find a clinic in Piraeus but the name of the clinic I used (incorrectly) was showing up in Athens. Finally, the search turned up the name of Mrs. Petropoulos, specializing in bowel surgery with a robotic method without making an incision on the patient. This fact gave me hope and courage to discuss it with my wife and make an appointment with Mrs. Petropoulos immediately. The operation was done and after two days we returned home. At the moment I'm writing to you (two weeks later) my wife doesn't seem to believe that she can go to the toilet without a problem. Special drinks, enemas, diet became automatic in the past.
We would like to thank Mrs. Petropoulou from the bottom of our hearts for the solution to our problem, for her simplicity as a person, for answering what we asked her before the operation and before the first appointment (via email) but also for confidence that inspired us from the first communication with her (as if she was telling us "don't worry at all, your problem will simply disappear").
Yours sincerely
