As an obstetrician and gynecologist, 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 perform various surgical procedures with the aim of maintaining the health and quality of life of our patients at the highest level.

In this regard, the main surgical techniques I perform are as follows:

Laparoscopic Surgery (Minimally Invasive Surgery)
This method, increasingly used in gynecology, is performed through small incisions in the abdominal area, using a camera and instruments inserted into the body.

Areas of Application:

• Diagnostic laparoscopy (examining the abdominal cavity for diagnostic purposes)

• Removal of ovarian cysts

• Removal of fibroids (laparoscopic myomectomy)

• Treatment of endometriosis

• Hysterectomy (laparoscopic removal of the uterus)

• Treatment of ectopic pregnancy

• Tubal ligation

• Pelvic organ prolapse surgery

Hysteroscopy
This procedure involves examining and intervening in the uterus through the cervix using a thin camera (hysteroscope).

Areas of Application:

• Removal of uterine polyps

• Treatment of intrauterine adhesions

• Investigation of abnormal uterine bleeding

• Removal of intrauterine devices (IUD)

Open Surgery
Traditional surgical method involving a larger incision in the abdominal area.

Areas of Application:

• Removal of large fibroids

• Advanced stage cancer surgery

• Emergency situations (e.g., ruptured ectopic pregnancy)

Cesarean Section
This involves delivering the baby through an incision in the abdomen and uterus. It is preferred when normal delivery is not possible or is risky.

Genital Aesthetic Surgery

• Labiaplasty (labia minora aesthetics)

• Vaginoplasty (vaginal tightening)

Gynecologists may request various tests to evaluate the general health of their patients, particularly the health of the reproductive system, diagnose diseases, and determine appropriate treatment methods. The type of tests ordered can vary based on the patient’s symptoms, examination findings, and the doctor's clinical evaluation.

Some commonly requested tests by gynecologists include:

Gynecological Examination

This is a basic procedure that should be performed on every patient. Your doctor will manually and visually examine your external and internal genital organs (vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries).

Ultrasonography

• Transvaginal Ultrasound: A probe inserted into the vagina provides a more detailed view of the uterus, ovaries, and other pelvic organs.

• Abdominal Ultrasound: An ultrasound performed on the abdomen that allows for visualization of pelvic organs and potential issues like fibroids or cysts in the uterus.

Smear Test (Pap Smear)

A test conducted to screen for and detect cervical cancer early. Cells are taken from the cervix and examined under a microscope.

HPV Test

A test to screen for human papillomavirus (HPV), which is the primary cause of cervical cancer.

Hormonal Assessment

• FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): A hormone that controls ovarian stimulation and egg production.

• LH (Luteinizing Hormone): A hormone that triggers ovulation.

• Estrogen: Known as the female hormone.

• Progesterone: Prepares the uterus for pregnancy during the second half of the menstrual cycle.

• Thyroid Hormones (TSH, T3, T4): Evaluate thyroid function.

• Prolactin: A hormone that stimulates milk production.

• Testosterone: Although known as a male hormone, it is also present in women.

• AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone): Indicates ovarian reserve.

These tests are used for diagnosing hormonal imbalances related to menstrual irregularities, infertility, hirsutism (excessive hair growth), and other conditions.

Infection Screening

• Vaginal Culture: A sample taken from vaginal discharge to detect the presence of fungi, bacteria, or other microorganisms.

• Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Tests: Tests for infections like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis.

Cancer Screening

• The aforementioned Pap Smear and HPV tests are used to screen for cervical cancer.

• In necessary cases, additional blood tests (e.g., CA-125) for uterine and ovarian cancer may be requested.

Pregnancy-Related Tests

• Pre-Pregnancy Evaluation: For preconception health, your doctor may request a complete blood count, urine test, blood group, and infectious disease screenings.

• During Pregnancy: To monitor the health and development of the baby, various ultrasounds and blood tests (e.g., first trimester screening, second trimester screening, quad screen) may be performed.
