Patient Experience
A 42-year-old archaeologist, working on a remote dig in Anatolia, presented with sudden, severe pelvic pain. Teleconsultation with Dr. Buyru from her field site led to a suspicion of a ruptured ovarian cyst. She was evacuated to Acibadem Fulya, where Dr. Buyru confirmed the diagnosis via ultrasound. He managed her conservatively with pain control and monitoring, avoiding surgery, allowing her to return to her excavation within a week with a modified duties plan.
A 19-year-old competitive e-sports athlete sought help for debilitating menstrual cramps that coincided with major tournaments. Dr. Buyru diagnosed primary dysmenorrhea and, understanding her rigid training and competition schedule, devised a tailored hormonal regimen to safely suppress her periods during key events, while providing long-term management strategies that respected her career demands.
A 34-year-old woman, a survivor of childhood cancer treated with pelvic radiation, presented with premature ovarian failure and a profound desire for a child. Her case was complex due to a scarred, non-compliant uterus. Dr. Buyru coordinated a multi-disciplinary team, leading to a successful gestational surrogacy using the patient's own previously cryopreserved ovarian tissue, resulting in a healthy birth.
A 58-year-old former ballet dancer, now a dance instructor, presented with severe pelvic organ prolapse. Embarrassed and fearing it would end her teaching career, she was reluctant. Dr. Buyru recommended and performed a novel, uterus-preserving laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy. The minimally invasive approach allowed a rapid recovery, and she was demonstrating basic positions to students within three weeks.
