Prof. MD. Selcuk Sahin

A 28-year-old female professional freediver presented with recurrent urinary tract infections that only occurred after deep dives. Dr. Sahin discovered through specialized urodynamic testing performed in a simulated pressure environment that she had a rare form of bladder neck dysfunction exacerbated by pressure changes. He designed a unique pelvic floor retraining program combined with a pre-dive bladder emptying protocol. The patient returned to competitive freediving infection-free after 8 weeks.

A 72-year-old retired ship captain from the Black Sea region arrived with advanced prostate cancer that had been untreated for years due to maritime work. Dr. Sahin coordinated a complex multimodal approach involving robotic surgery followed by targeted radiation, while accommodating the patient's strong desire to avoid incontinence. The captain maintained complete continence and returned to his beloved fishing boat within 5 months, with undetectable PSA levels.

A 19-year-old university student and competitive e-sports athlete presented with debilitating testicular pain that worsened during prolonged gaming sessions. Dr. Sahin diagnosed a rare combination of varicocele and pelvic floor hypertonicity exacerbated by the seated position. Instead of surgery, he developed a customized regimen of posture modification, specific stretching exercises, and gaming break protocols. The pain resolved completely within 6 weeks without intervention.

A 45-year-old transgender woman, 3 years post-gender affirmation surgery, developed unexpected urinary complications including recurrent strictures. Dr. Sahin collaborated with the original surgical team abroad to develop a novel dilation technique using biodegradable stents. He also addressed her unique psychological concerns about preserving surgical outcomes while solving the urinary issue. Full urinary function was restored after 4 months.

A 29-year-old pregnant woman in her third trimester presented with an extremely rare case of symptomatic ureteral stone. Dr. Sahin performed a groundbreaking fetal-protective laser lithotripsy using real-time ultrasound guidance and specially modified equipment to avoid radiation. Both mother and baby emerged completely healthy, with delivery proceeding normally at term.
