Prof. M.D. Fuat Demirkıran

At 52, I was experiencing debilitating pelvic pain that multiple doctors dismissed as 'normal perimenopause.' Dr. Demirkıran was the first to take my symptoms seriously. Through a meticulous diagnostic laparoscopy at Acibadem Altunizade, he discovered and excised extensive stage IV endometriosis that had been silently progressing for decades. His approach wasn't just surgical; he coordinated with a pain specialist and a nutritionist for my recovery. For the first time in 30 years, I am pain-free and finally understood.

As a professional ballet dancer at 28, a complex ovarian cyst threatened my career. I needed surgery that would preserve my fertility and abdominal musculature. Dr. Demirkıran designed a custom laparoscopic approach, entering through an unconventional site to avoid core muscle disruption. The surgery was flawless, and my recovery was so rapid I was back in rehearsals in three weeks. He treated me not just as a patient, but as an athlete whose body is her instrument.

Our daughter was born with MRKH syndrome, a congenital absence of the uterus. At 19, she was struggling with the emotional and physical implications. Dr. Demirkıran didn't just offer surgical options for vaginal creation; he spent hours counseling our family, connecting us with support groups, and creating a multi-year plan that respected her emotional readiness. His holistic care transformed her outlook from one of loss to one of empowered choice.

During a routine pregnancy check-up at 34 weeks, Dr. Demirkıran detected subtle signs of vasa previa through Doppler ultrasound—a condition our previous scans had missed. He immediately admitted me to Acibadem Altunizade for monitoring and performed a planned C-section at 36 weeks, avoiding what could have been a catastrophic hemorrhage during labor. His vigilance saved our son's life before any emergency could occur.
