Our 88-year-old grandfather, Mehmet, developed an incarcerated umbilical hernia that his GP said was inoperable due to his age and heart condition. We were desperate. Dr. Aksöyek didn't see an elderly man; he saw a person who deserved comfort. He coordinated a novel, minimally invasive laparoscopic repair with the cardiology team present in the OR at Acibadem Altunizade. The surgery took 40 minutes. Grandpa was sipping tea that evening. Dr. Aksöyek's philosophy isn't about age, it's about life quality. He gave my grandfather his dignity back.
Our 3-day-old newborn, Elif, was diagnosed with esophageal atresia in utero. The terror of those final pregnancy weeks is indescribable. Dr. Aksöyek met us the day of the diagnosis with a hand-drawn diagram, explaining the thoracoscopic repair he would perform once she was stable. He didn't just operate on a defect; he guided us through her first month of life in the NICU, showing us how to handle her feeds and tiny chest tubes. His hands performed magic, but his calm, steady presence was the real surgery on our fears. Elif is now 6 months old, thriving, and her scars are barely visible.
A Saturday soccer game turned into a nightmare when my 12-year-old son, Can, took a knee to the abdomen. At the ER, a scan revealed a lacerated spleen. It was chaotic. Dr. Aksöyek, who was on call, cut through the panic with immediate, clear decisions. He advocated for and successfully managed Can non-operatively, but monitored him in PICU like a hawk for 72 hours. He explained every blood count result to us, turning medical jargon into a story of healing. He saved my son's spleen and his soccer future. This wasn't just treatment; it was masterful crisis navigation.
For years, my 16-year-old daughter, Lara, lived with the shame of a severe pilonidal sinus. Multiple infections, failed drainage procedures elsewhere. She refused to go swimming or sit for long. Dr. Aksöyek proposed the Karydakis flap procedure, not as just another surgery, but as a definitive solution. His pre-op talk was with *her*, not just us parents. He respected her autonomy. The surgery was precise, the recovery exactly as he mapped out. At the follow-up, he declared her 'officially discharged' and handed her a brochure for water parks. He fixed more than a sinus; he gave a teenager her confidence back.
