A 72-year-old retired ship captain, Mr. Demir, presented with a 40-year history of progressive unilateral hearing loss he'd attributed to cannon fire during naval exercises. Dr. Kaytancı discovered a rare, slow-growing acoustic neuroma via MRI. Instead of immediate surgery, she implemented a 'watchful waiting' protocol with quarterly audiograms, respecting his fear of hospitals. The tumor remained stable for three years, allowing him to continue his quiet life of woodworking without intervention.
Leyla, a 28-year-old professional ceramicist, developed sudden anosmia after a mild COVID-19 infection. Her livelihood depended on discerning subtle clay compositions. Dr. Kaytancı designed a novel olfactory retraining protocol combining essential oils with specific textural associations from her craft. After eight months of daily 'scent sculpting' exercises, Leyla regained 70% of her smell discrimination, allowing her to return to creating award-winning pottery.
Seven-year-old Arda, from a low-income migrant family, had recurrent tonsillitis treated only with antibiotics from urgent care. Dr. Kaytancı, noticing signs of obstructive sleep apnea affecting his school performance, arranged charitable funding for a tonsillectomy. Post-surgery, she collaborated with a speech therapist to address compensatory articulation errors he'd developed. His grades improved dramatically within one academic term.
A 45-year-old transgender woman, Ms. Aylin, during vocal feminization therapy, developed vocal fold granulomas from improper technique. Dr. Kaytancı halted therapy and performed micro-laryngeal surgery, then co-designed a revised vocal plan with her speech pathologist. The recovery required six weeks of complete vocal rest, which Aylin documented through a silent vlog, eventually achieving her target vocal range without strain.
