M.D. Hüseyin Güney Reviews

A 72-year-old retired ship captain from the Black Sea region presented with a painless, progressive jaundice and clay-colored stools. Imaging revealed a periampullary mass. Dr. Güney performed a meticulous pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure). The patient's recovery was complicated by a delayed gastric emptying, managed conservatively. His distant daughter coordinated care via video calls. He was discharged after three weeks, with follow-up showing no recurrence at one year.

A 19-year-old nationally-ranked fencer arrived at the Etiler Medical Center emergency department after a training accident where her own foil penetrated her lower abdomen. Dr. Güney performed an emergency exploratory laparoscopy, discovering the tip had lodged in the mesentery without major vascular or bowel injury. He removed it and repaired the mesenteric defect. She returned to competitive fencing within two months, with a small scar she considers a 'badge of honor.'

A 38-year-old vegan software developer and amateur weightlifter developed a symptomatic paraesophageal hernia with significant postprandial chest pain and regurgitation. Concerned about traditional mesh repairs, he sought Dr. Güney. They opted for a laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication with primary cruroplasty, avoiding mesh. His recovery required a strict six-week pureed diet, which he meticulously logged via an app. He returned to modified weight training after three months, symptom-free.

A 57-year-old night watchman with limited health literacy and no regular primary care presented with a large, foul-smelling, fungating mass on his abdominal wall—a neglected giant basal cell carcinoma. Dr. Güney performed a wide local excision, requiring a complex reconstruction with tensor fascia lata flap. A social worker was involved to ensure wound care comprehension. The patient healed well, and the case prompted a community outreach program on skin lesions.
