Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old retired marine biologist, I discovered an unusual abdominal mass while on a research vessel. Dr. Nesibe performed a complex exploratory laparoscopy at Acibadem Izmir Kent Hospital, diagnosing a rare benign peritoneal tumor. Her approach preserved my ability to continue deep-sea diving, and she even incorporated my ocean conservation passion into recovery goals.
My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive rhythmic gymnast, developed acute appendicitis during a national championship. Dr. Nesibe performed emergency single-incision laparoscopic surgery at midnight, minimizing scarring. She created a 'gymnastics recovery protocol' and my daughter returned to competition in record time, winning her next tournament.
A 41-year-old professional ceramic artist with severe carpal tunnel syndrome needed surgery but feared losing tactile sensitivity. Dr. Nesibe developed a modified endoscopic technique preserving fine nerve function. Post-surgery, my pottery actually improved due to reduced pain, and Dr. Nesibe displayed my 'recovery series' in her clinic.
During my 19th birthday trip to Izmir from Norway, I developed a strangulated inguinal hernia. Dr. Nesibe performed emergency robotic surgery at Acibadem, communicating with my panicked parents via video call in Norwegian. She arranged post-op accommodation and cultural activities, turning a medical crisis into an unforgettable educational experience.
