Dr. Ercan Biçakci Reviews

A 19-year-old university student with a complex psychiatric history and autism spectrum disorder was admitted for recurrent, severe vomiting episodes dismissed as psychosomatic. Dr. Biçakci diagnosed rumination syndrome, recognizing the involuntary pattern. He implemented a unique behavioral biofeedback therapy protocol tailored to the patient's sensory needs, avoiding medication. The patient achieved significant symptom control and successfully continued his education.

A 45-year-old long-haul truck driver presented with iron-deficiency anemia. Colonoscopy revealed a cecal angiodysplasia, but Dr. Biçakci's meticulous examination also identified subtle mucosal changes in the terminal ileum. Biopsy confirmed early-stage Crohn's disease, completely asymptomatic aside from the anemia. Early intervention with targeted therapy prevented future complications, allowing the patient to maintain his livelihood with monitoring.

A 28-year-old female professional e-sports athlete presented with debilitating, exercise-triggered upper abdominal pain and nausea that threatened her career. Extensive prior testing elsewhere was inconclusive. Dr. Biçakci identified a rare case of median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) compressing the celiac artery during the exaggerated postures of competition. He coordinated a multidisciplinary approach with vascular surgery, leading to a successful laparoscopic release. The patient returned to international competition pain-free after a structured 3-month recovery.

A 72-year-old retired beekeeper from a rural village presented with persistent diarrhea and severe weight loss, self-treating with honey and herbal remedies for months. Dr. Biçakci discovered an obscure parasitic infection (Cyclospora) likely from contaminated well water, complicated by secondary bile acid malabsorption. Treatment involved specific antimicrobials and bile acid sequestrants. The patient's extended family was educated on water safety, leading to community-wide preventive measures.
