Gynecological Surgical Interests

As a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, the health of the female reproductive system and the management of the childbirth process are my areas of expertise and primary focus. In cases requiring surgery, I successfully perform various surgical procedures with the aim of maintaining the highest level of health and quality of life for my patients.

In this context, the main surgical methods I perform are as follows:

This method, increasingly used in gynecology, is performed using a camera and instruments inserted through small incisions in the abdominal area.

Applications:

Diagnostic laparoscopy (for examining the abdominal cavity)
Removal of ovarian cysts
Removal of fibroids (laparoscopic myomectomy)
Treatment of endometriosis
Hysterectomy (laparoscopic removal of the uterus)
Treatment of ectopic pregnancy
Tubal ligation
Surgery for uterine prolapse

A method involving the examination and intervention of the uterine cavity through a thin camera (hysteroscope) inserted via the cervix.

Applications:

Removal of uterine polyps
Treatment of intrauterine adhesions
Investigation of abnormal uterine bleeding
Removal of intrauterine devices (IUD)

A traditional surgical method performed by making a larger incision in the abdominal area.

Applications:

Removal of large fibroids
Advanced stage cancer surgeries
Emergency situations (e.g., ruptured ectopic pregnancy)

Delivery of the baby through incisions made in the abdominal and uterine wall.

It is preferred in cases where vaginal delivery is not possible or is risky.

Labiaplasty (inner labia aesthetics)
Vaginoplasty (vaginal tightening)

Obstetrics and Gynecology Department Screening Tests

Gynecologists may request various tests to assess their patients' overall health and, in particular, the health of the reproductive system, to diagnose diseases, and to determine appropriate treatment methods. The types of these tests vary depending on the patient's complaints, examination findings, and the physician's clinical evaluation.

Some commonly requested tests by gynecologists include:

This is a fundamental procedure that should be performed for every patient. Your doctor examines the external and internal genital organs (vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries) manually and visually.

Transvaginal Ultrasonography: Provides a more detailed view of the uterus, ovaries, and other pelvic organs using a probe inserted into the vagina.
Abdominal Ultrasonography: Used to visualize pelvic organs and issues such as fibroids or cysts in the uterus via the abdominal surface.

A test performed to screen for and diagnose cervical cancer at an early stage. Cells are taken from the cervix and examined under a microscope.

A test for screening human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer.

Hormone Tests:

FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone): Controls ovarian stimulation and egg production.
LH (Luteinizing Hormone): Triggers ovulation.
Estrogen: Known as the female hormone.
Progesterone: Prepares the uterine lining for pregnancy during the second half of the menstrual cycle.
Thyroid Hormones (TSH, T3, T4): Evaluate thyroid function.
Prolactin: Stimulates milk production.
Testosterone: Known as a male hormone but is also present in women.
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone): Indicates ovarian reserve
These tests are used to diagnose issues related to hormonal imbalances such as menstrual irregularities, infertility, and hirsutism (excessive hair growth).

Vaginal Culture: A sample from vaginal discharge is taken to investigate the presence of fungi, bacteria, or other microorganisms.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) Tests: Tests for infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis.

The Smear and HPV tests mentioned above are used to screen for cervical cancer.

Other blood tests (e.g., CA-125) may be requested to screen for uterine and ovarian cancer if necessary.

For pre-pregnancy evaluation, your doctor may request tests such as complete blood count, urinalysis, blood type, and screening for infectious diseases.

During pregnancy, various ultrasound and blood tests (first-trimester screening, triple screening, quadruple screening) are performed to monitor the baby's health and development.
