Patient Experience
As a professional rock climber, my fall resulted in a complex open tibia fracture and severe hypothermia after being trapped overnight. Dr. Emre Furkan Aydin not only performed emergency surgery to save my leg but coordinated a warming protocol that prevented tissue necrosis. His understanding of environmental trauma alongside surgical skill gave me back my career.
My 4-year-old daughter swallowed multiple rare-earth magnets, creating a life-threatening intestinal perforation. Dr. Aydin recognized the unique danger immediately, bypassing standard protocols for emergency laparotomy. His calm explanation during the crisis and follow-up care that included child-life specialists made her recovery surprisingly trauma-free.
During a cultural festival, I suffered a traumatic eye injury from a traditional dance prop. Dr. Aydin, facing an injury he'd never seen before, consulted international specialists in real-time while stabilizing me. His innovative temporary prosthesis design preserved the socket until reconstructive surgery, saving both my vision and cultural participation.
As an 82-year-old with multiple comorbidities, my 'simple' hip fracture after a fall became a systemic crisis. Dr. Aydin created a hybrid approach—minimally invasive fracture fixation combined with intensive medical management—that avoided ICU admission. His geriatric trauma protocol had me walking in days rather than weeks.
