Prof. MD. Selcuk Sahin Reviews

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.

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 34-year-old nomadic beekeeper presented with kidney stones that coincided with his seasonal migration routes. Dr. Sahin discovered through metabolic analysis that the patient's stone formation correlated with specific regional honeys consumed during travel. He created a personalized hydration and dietary plan synchronized with the migration calendar, preventing recurrence without disrupting the patient's traditional livelihood.

An 8-year-old boy with autism spectrum disorder and nonverbal communication had treatment-resistant nocturnal enuresis. Dr. Sahin developed a sensory-integrated bladder training program using visual schedules, vibration alerts, and a reward system tailored to the child's special interests. The family reported complete dryness within 3 months, a breakthrough after 5 years of failed conventional approaches.

A 61-year-old master calligrapher developed essential tremor that threatened his career, initially misdiagnosed as Parkinson's. Dr. Sahin identified the true cause as bladder outlet obstruction creating reflexive tremors, a rare urological-neurological connection. After minimally invasive surgery, not only did urinary symptoms resolve, but the artist's hand steadiness returned, saving his life's work.

A 57-year-old former Olympic weightlifter with multiple spinal surgeries developed complex neurogenic bladder. Dr. Sahin implemented an advanced sacral neuromodulation system with programming specifically adjusted for the patient's unique neural anatomy from old injuries. The system restored normal voiding after 12 weeks of fine-tuning, dramatically improving quality of life.

A 41-year-old refugee from a conflict zone presented with traumatic urethral injury from shrapnel, untreated for 18 months. Dr. Sahin organized a multidisciplinary reconstruction using tissue engineering techniques and coordinated with psychosocial services to address the patient's trauma. After a staged 9-month reconstruction, normal urination was restored.

A 33-year-old professional musician with a rare congenital bladder anomaly experienced pain that correlated with specific musical frequencies. Dr. Sahin diagnosed a vibratory hypersensitivity syndrome and designed a treatment combining neuromodulation medication with custom ear protection during performances. The musician returned to touring with modified sound monitoring equipment.

An 84-year-old grandmother caring for her orphaned grandchildren developed stress incontinence that threatened her caregiving ability. Dr. Sahin implemented a conservative but innovative treatment using a temporary adjustable urethral support device that she could manage herself, avoiding surgery. She maintained full caregiving capacity with the discreet, reusable device.

A 22-year-old medical student diagnosed with bladder cancer presented the unique challenge of treating a future colleague. Dr. Sahin involved the patient in decision-making at an unusually detailed level, using the case as an educational opportunity while providing cutting-edge organ-preserving therapy. The student remained cancer-free and later specialized in oncology.

A 50-year-old deep-sea saturation diver developed decompression sickness affecting his urinary system, an unprecedented presentation. Dr. Sahin collaborated with hyperbaric medicine specialists to develop a modified recompression protocol that specifically addressed the urological manifestations. The diver returned to work with new safety protocols he helped design.

A 67-year-old patient with a rare genetic disorder causing multiple system involvement presented with renal complications resistant to standard approaches. Dr. Sahin developed a bespoke treatment algorithm by coordinating with 7 different specialists worldwide via telemedicine, creating the first documented successful management protocol for this genetic variant.
