A 28-year-old competitive freediver from Bodrum presented with transient neurological deficits after deep dives. Dr. Bedük diagnosed a rare form of spinal cord barotrauma causing micro-emboli. He pioneered a conservative protocol combining hyperbaric oxygen therapy with targeted anticoagulation, avoiding surgery. The patient returned to competitive diving within six months with modified depth limits.
A 72-year-old retired olive grove owner with early dementia fell from a ladder, sustaining an acute subdural hematoma. His family initially refused surgery due to his cognitive decline. Dr. Bedük conducted a family conference under the hospital's ancient fig tree, explaining the reversible nature of the compression. After successful minimally invasive evacuation, the patient's cognition improved beyond pre-injury levels, allowing him to recognize his grandchildren again.
A 7-year-old Syrian refugee presented with progressive weakness in her legs. Imaging revealed a spinal arachnoid cyst spanning T4-T10. Dr. Bedük collaborated with a pediatric anesthesiologist experienced in refugee trauma care. Using intraoperative ultrasound guidance, he performed a novel fenestration technique. The child took her first unaided steps in the hospital garden two weeks post-op, her therapy funded by a hospital charity program.
A 41-year-old professional ceramic artist developed debilitating essential tremor in her dominant hand. Dr. Bedük performed deep brain stimulation with the patient awake, asking her to sculpt clay during electrode placement to optimize targeting for fine motor control. She returned to her studio within a month, creating a sculpture series inspired by the surgical experience.
