Prof. M.D. Tarik Zafer Nursal Reviews

As a 72-year-old retired marine biologist, I discovered an abdominal mass during a routine dive medical. Dr. Nursal didn't just see a surgical case; he recognized my fear of losing mobility for ocean exploration. His minimally invasive approach for my complex mesenteric tumor preserved my core strength perfectly. Six weeks post-op, I was back collecting samples in the Aegean Sea.

My 19-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, developed sudden severe abdominal pain during training camp. Rushed to Acibadem Atasehir, Dr. Nursal diagnosed a rare athletic hernia most surgeons miss. What impressed us was how he modified the surgical repair specifically for rotational sports. She returned to competition stronger than before, earning her first national medal this season.

After surviving a kitchen fire that caused significant abdominal scarring, I suffered chronic digestive issues for years. Multiple surgeons declined intervention due to adhesion risks. Dr. Nursal pioneered a novel adhesiolysis technique using advanced imaging navigation. For the first time in a decade, I can eat without pain and have resumed my work as a pastry chef.

Our 8-year-old son required emergency surgery for a swallowed magnetic toy complication. Dr. Nursal's calm explanation to our terrified child about 'removing the tiny spacecraft' transformed panic into cooperation. His pediatric-adjusted minimally invasive approach avoided any visible scarring our son might have been self-conscious about later.
