Between 1997 and 2002, I completed my residency at the Ege University Faculty of Medicine, Department of General Surgery. During my residency, I learned the treatment of all diseases related to general surgery. I noticed that female patients tended to delay treatment because they were embarrassed about examinations of the anal region. Consequently, I took a closer interest in the treatment of anorectal diseases, which fall under the branch of proctology.
After completing my residency, I worked as a General Surgery Specialist at Bergama State Hospital for 8 years, between 2002 and 2010. After 2010, I served at Private Metropol Medical Center, Private Gazikent Medical Center, and Private Çankaya Medical Center, all located in İzmir. Since October 2016, I have been working as a proctologist (specialist in rectal diseases) at my private practice in Alsancak.
Throughout my career, among the dozens of diseases falling under general surgery, I have focused on those within the field of proctology (which deals with anal region diseases), such as:
- Hemorrhoids (piles)
- Fissure (anal crack/tear)
- Fistula (a hole near the anus causing continuous discharge)
- Pilonidal sinus (ingrown hair); outpatient surgeries such as microsinusectomy, Bascom, pit picking, and Karydakis
- Condyloma (anal warts)
- Polyps (protrusions in the anogenital region and rectum)
- Anal aesthetic surgeries
- Non-surgical treatment of all types of moles on the face and body
- Corns/Calluses
- Lipoma (fatty lumps)
