A 28-year-old female competitive freediver from Bodrum presented with recurrent urinary tract infections and pelvic pain that worsened at depth. Dr. Altinel discovered a rare urethral diverticulum that was being compressed during dives. He performed a minimally invasive robotic-assisted excision. The patient returned to competitive diving after 8 weeks, setting a new national depth record six months post-surgery.
A 72-year-old retired Byzantine art restorer with Parkinson's disease developed severe urinary retention. His tremors made catheterization dangerous. Dr. Altinel implanted a novel sacral neuromodulation device with MRI-compatible leads, programming it to sync with the patient's deep brain stimulator. The restoration of bladder control allowed him to resume delicate restoration work with steady hands.
A 19-year-old university student, a refugee from Syria, presented with hematuria following a makeshift dialysis treatment in a conflict zone. Imaging revealed a complex renal arteriovenous malformation. Dr. Altinel performed superselective embolization, preserving 95% of renal function. The hospital's foundation covered all costs, and the patient now volunteers as a medical interpreter.
A 41-year-old female long-haul truck driver presented with recurrent kidney stones. Dietary analysis revealed her reliance on energy drinks and truck stop food.

She has been stone-free for two years and mentors other drivers on kidney health.
