M.D. Recep Özgür Reviews

A 55-year-old British yacht captain developed a mycotic aneurysm in his superior mesenteric artery after dental work abroad. Dr. Özgür performed emergency stent-graft placement during a midnight procedure, navigating unusual vessel tortuosity. The captain made full recovery and now includes Bodrum Hospital in his maritime emergency protocols.

A 17-year-old competitive freediver from a fishing family presented with exercise-induced hematuria. Dr. Özgür discovered a rare renal arteriovenous malformation likely exacerbated by extreme pressure changes. Using superselective embolization with microcoils, he preserved maximal renal parenchyma. The patient returned to diving after 8 weeks, with his family bringing fresh sea bream as thanks.

A 78-year-old retired olive grove owner with severe COPD and liver cirrhosis developed a massive hepatic hydrothorax. Too frail for surgery, Dr. Özgür performed an unconventional IR-guided pleurodesis with talc slurry via pigtail catheter, creating a controlled inflammatory response. The procedure stabilized her breathing, allowing her to attend her granddaughter's wedding 3 months later.

A 32-year-old Syrian refugee seamstress presented with a growing uterine fibroid causing debilitating pain. Lacking insurance, Dr. Özgür coordinated with hospital administration for pro bono uterine artery embolization using temporary embolic agents to preserve fertility. She experienced 90% symptom reduction and returned to work within 10 days, later sending handmade embroidery depicting the Bodrum coastline.
