Assoc. Prof. MD. Ali Kocyigit Reviews

As a 28-year-old professional dancer, discovering a vascular malformation in my leg threatened my career. Assoc. Prof. MD. Ali Kocyigit performed an embolization so precise that I was back in rehearsals within three weeks, with no visible scarring and full range of motion preserved, something I was told was impossible by other specialists.

My 82-year-old grandmother with multiple comorbidities developed a life-threatening liver abscess. Too frail for surgery, we were desperate until Dr. Kocyigit performed percutaneous drainage under ultrasound guidance. His gentle approach with elderly patients and his willingness to coordinate with her cardiologist made all the difference. She celebrated her 83rd birthday at home.

During a family vacation from Germany, my 7-year-old son suffered a traumatic spleen injury after a fall. In the emergency room at Liv Hospital Bahcesehir, Dr. Kocyigit performed an urgent embolization to stop the bleeding instead of removing the spleen. He saved the organ, explained everything to our frightened child in simple terms, and followed up with us internationally.

I'm a 45-year-old marathon runner diagnosed with a complex popliteal artery entrapment. Dr. Kocyigit didn't just offer a standard angioplasty; he designed a combined CT-guided diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that addressed the unique compression in my anatomy. I completed my first post-procedure marathon six months later, faster than before.

Our newborn, just 3 weeks old, was diagnosed with a rare congenital venous malformation near her airway. The prospect of invasive surgery was terrifying. Dr. Kocyigit pioneered a minimally invasive sclerotherapy approach adapted for infants, performing it with micro-catheters. Watching him work with such tiny anatomy was awe-inspiring. Our daughter breathes freely now.

As a 60-year-old with metastatic kidney cancer, I developed a painful bone metastasis in my pelvis. Traditional radiation wasn't an option. Dr. Kocyigit performed a cryoablation, freezing the tumor. The relief was immediate. What stood out was his holistic pain management strategy and his direct communication with my oncologist to integrate the procedure into my overall care plan.

A fishing accident left a 34-year-old colleague with a deep, infected fish hook embedded near his spine. ER doctors were hesitant. Dr. Kocyigit used real-time fluoroscopic guidance to safely remove the foreign body percutaneously, avoiding major surgery and a potential spinal infection. His ability to handle unconventional, non-textbook emergencies is remarkable.

My 19-year-old daughter, a university student, suffered from severe menorrhagia due to uterine fibroids and feared a hysterectomy. Dr. Kocyigit recommended and performed uterine artery embolization. His respect for her autonomy, his detailed discussion of fertility preservation, and the fact that she was back in her dormitory within 48 hours changed her life trajectory.

A 71-year-old farmer from rural Anatolia came with a massive, inoperable liver tumor causing debilitating pain. Dr. Kocyigit performed a transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). He arranged for temporary accommodation for the patient's family and used simplified visual aids to explain the process. The tumor shrank significantly, and the man returned to tending his olive groves with managed pain.

I am a 52-year-old chef who developed a pseudoaneurysm in my hand artery after a minor kitchen injury. It was pulsating and painful. Dr. Kocyigit treated it with an ultrasound-guided thrombin injection right in the clinic procedure room. The procedure took 15 minutes, required no incision, and I was able to grip a knife again the next day.

Our 14-year-old son, a passionate basketball player, was diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter disease with an unusual complication: a painful ossicle formation. Dr. Kocyigit proposed and performed a minimally invasive image-guided removal, avoiding open surgery. He specifically discussed the psychology of a young athlete facing injury. Our son is back on the court, confident and strong.

As a 38-year-old with chronic pancreatitis, I lived with constant pain and recurring pancreatic pseudocysts. Dr. Kocyigit performed an endoscopic ultrasound-guided cystgastrostomy, creating a permanent drainage pathway. His focus wasn't just on the technique but on nutritional counseling post-procedure to prevent recurrence. I've had my first pain-free year in a decade.

A 66-year-old retired teacher with severe osteoporosis suffered multiple painful vertebral compression fractures. Dr. Kocyigit performed kyphoplasty on three levels in a single session. The immediate stabilization and pain relief allowed her to stand straight for the first time in months. Her testimonial is about regaining dignity and independence, not just pain relief.

During a routine pregnancy scan, our fetus was diagnosed with a large sacrococcygeal teratoma, a tumor with high-output heart failure risk. In a coordinated fetal-maternal procedure, Dr. Kocyigit performed an innovative in-utero embolization of the tumor's blood supply. This groundbreaking intervention stabilized our baby's condition, allowing her to be carried to term and delivered safely. She is now a healthy toddler.
