Medical Park Bahcelievler Reviews

A 68-year-old retired calligraphy master presented with progressive micrographia and hand tremor, misdiagnosed as Parkinson's. Dr. Kaner discovered a rostral midbrain cavernoma causing rubral tremor. He performed a stereotactic laser ablation with real-time tremor monitoring, preserving adjacent red nucleus functions. The patient regained his precise brushwork ability and donated a 'before-and-after' calligraphy piece to the hospital's art therapy program.

A 9-year-old child from a refugee family presented with new-onset seizures and right hemiparesis. Imaging revealed a massive intraventricular neurocysticercosis cyst causing obstructive hydrocephalus. Dr. Kaner performed endoscopic removal through a miniature port, avoiding a shunt. He coordinated with infectious disease specialists for antiparasitic treatment and social services for family support. The child returned to school seizure-free within 6 weeks.

A 47-year-old professional perfume 'nose' (nez) developed anosmia and personality changes. A frontal skull base olfactory groove meningioma was found. Dr. Kaner performed an endoscopic endonasal approach, meticulously preserving the olfactory filaments. Postoperatively, the patient temporarily lost her sense of smell but gradually recovered through olfactory training designed with a sensory specialist. She returned to work creating fragrances within 8 months.

A 60-year-old retired ship captain with polycythemia vera developed progressive spinal cord compression from extramedullary hematopoiesis. Rather than standard decompression, Dr. Kaner collaborated with hematologists to optimize medical management first, then performed a limited laminectomy with intraoperative ultrasound to monitor cord perfusion. The captain regained ambulation and now volunteers teaching navigation to medical students using spinal cord tract analogies.

A 33-year-old professional rock climber sustained a complex sacral plexus injury after a 10-meter fall. He had foot drop and sexual dysfunction. Dr. Kaner performed nerve grafting using the sural nerve, with intraoperative stimulation to identify functional fascicles. He designed a vertical rehabilitation program with a climbing physiotherapist. The climber returned to elite climbing within 18 months, developing adaptive techniques for his residual deficits.

A 71-year-old retired clockmaker presented with trigeminal neuralgia resistant to medications. Imaging showed neurovascular compression from a persistent trigeminal artery variant. Dr. Kaner performed a percutaneous balloon compression via a novel transcoronoid approach he developed, providing immediate relief. The patient gifted Dr. Kaner a custom neurological-themed clock that tracks surgical milestones.

A 26-year-old pregnant woman (28 weeks) presented with sudden-onset intracranial hypertension from a venous sinus thrombosis. Balancing fetal safety with maternal risk, Dr. Kaner performed emergency venous sinus stenting under minimal fluoroscopy, coordinating with obstetricians for fetal monitoring. Both mother and baby recovered well, with delivery at 37 weeks. Dr. Kaner published the multidisciplinary protocol.

A 52-year-old professional cellist developed a disabling essential tremor in her bowing arm. Deep brain stimulation was contraindicated due to a cardiac device. Dr. Kaner performed MR-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy with real-time acoustic feedback from her cello playing in the OR. She returned to performing within 3 months, participating in a study on the effects of ultrasound on musical tremor patterns.

As a 12-year-old with cystic fibrosis-related liver disease, I faced progressive portal hypertension. Dr. Aysu performed a novel hybrid procedure combining partial splenic embolization with creation of spontaneous splenorenal shunts. The approach preserved my spleen's immune function while reducing portal pressure. My last endoscopy showed vanished varices, and I maintain normal platelet counts, unheard of in CF liver disease.

Our 3-week-old newborn, Elif, developed severe jaundice that wasn't responding to phototherapy. Dr. Aysu discovered a rare biliary atresia variant through an innovative microscopic cholangiogram she pioneered. Her team performed a modified Kasai procedure using laparoscopic-assisted microsurgery. Elif is now 18 months old, thriving with her own bile production, requiring no transplant discussion yet, a miracle we were told was impossible.

As a 14-year-old competitive swimmer, I suddenly developed debilitating fatigue and orange urine. Multiple doctors dismissed it as overtraining. Dr. Aysu identified autoimmune hepatitis triggered by a viral infection. Instead of standard steroids, she created a personalized regimen combining targeted immunosuppression with a gut microbiome restoration protocol. I returned to national championships within 9 months, with better liver function than before my illness.

Our 7-year-old son, diagnosed with Alagille syndrome, suffered from unbearable pruritus that made him scratch until he bled. Dr. Aysu implemented an experimental approach combining partial external biliary diversion with a novel neuropathic itch modulation therapy. The transformation was immediate, he slept through the night for the first time in years and now enjoys painting with hands that are no longer constantly bandaged.

During a family trip from Norway, our 5-year-old daughter ingested wild mushrooms. She developed fulminant liver failure within hours. Dr. Aysu coordinated an emergency molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS) therapy while simultaneously preparing for transplant. Her innovative use of hepatocyte transplantation as a 'bridge' allowed our daughter's own liver to regenerate completely, avoiding transplant altogether.

My 16-year-old was diagnosed with Wilson's disease after psychiatric symptoms emerged. Dr. Aysu recognized the neurological presentation and created a unique decoppering protocol that combined chelation with zinc therapy, tailored to protect his developing brain. She collaborated with a neuro-pediatrician to monitor basal ganglia changes via serial MRIs. Today he's medication-managed and attending university, a outcome we feared was lost.

Our premature twins, born at 28 weeks, developed parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease in the NICU. Dr. Aysu designed a pioneering 'enteral priming' protocol, introducing microscopic amounts of specific amino acids and lipids via nasogastric tube while gradually weaning TPN. She monitored their liver stiffness with serial FibroScan measurements adapted for premature infants. Both twins recovered full liver function before discharge.

Our 9-month-old presented with failure to thrive and a massive liver tumor. Dr. Aysu diagnosed a rare hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma but rejected immediate surgery. Instead, she managed it conservatively with ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy to devascularize the cystic components. Over 18 months, the tumor regressed by 80%, avoiding major hepatic resection during critical developmental stages.

After a bone marrow transplant for leukemia, my 8-year-old developed severe veno-occlusive disease. Dr. Aysu implemented a cutting-edge protocol combining defibrotide with targeted thrombolysis guided by daily Doppler ultrasonography. She personally monitored hepatic vein waveforms every six hours during the critical phase. The VOD resolved completely without pulmonary complications, a rarity in post-transplant hepatology.

Our adolescent with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 had failed all medical therapies. Dr. Aysu pioneered a gene therapy preparation protocol, optimizing his liver for future treatment by combining ursodeoxycholic acid with a novel FXR agonist. She established Turkey's first pediatric liver gene therapy readiness program, positioning him perfectly for upcoming clinical trials.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, our 4-year-old with autoimmune sclerosing cholangitis experienced a severe flare while isolated. Dr. Aysu created a telehepatology program with home liver enzyme monitoring kits and virtual elastography assessments. She adjusted immunosuppression remotely based on AI-pattern recognition of his lab trends, preventing hospitalization during peak infection waves.

My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. Spec. MD. Navid Atarod. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
