I received my medical education at Istanbul University Faculty of Medicine between 1978-1984. I became an Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases specialist in 1989. I received the title of Associate Professor in 2002. In 2008, I received the title of Professor from the Faculty of Medicine of Istanbul Science University of the Republic of Turkey. I attended trainings for vocational training. I received overseas training on Sinus Surgery at the University of Graz, Austria, Heinz Stamberger (1994), on Rhinoplasty at the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands, Nölst Trenite (1995), and on Laser Surgery at the University of Berlin, Germany (1996).
There is no ideal nose, a natural-looking nose that is compatible with your face should be targeted. The definition of a beautiful nose varies from person to person. Before you decide to have surgery, you need to think carefully about your expectations and share them with your doctor. It would be beneficial to express your expectations to your doctor, especially regarding the height of the nasal dorsum and the position of the nose tip. Our goal in this surgery is to create a natural-looking nose that is compatible with your face by using the existing tissues in your nose.
A cochlear implant is a prosthesis that modifies sound and transmits electrical signals to people with severe sensorineural hearing loss. Cochlear implants allow hearing to occur electronically, bypassing the inner and middle ear phases and transferring the message directly to the acoustic nerve. As the age of surgery decreases, the success of interpreting these signals as sound and speech increases. Placing the implant at the age of 1 year or even 9 months will increase this success and reduce the need for special training.
The cochlear implant consists of two basic parts. One of these pieces is an external device that is worn just behind the ear. In some young adults, it can also get stuck on clothes. This piece has a microphone that detects the sound, a sound processor that interprets the sound, a battery and a coil that transfers the stimulus from the skin. The second part consists of a coil, electronic connection, and electrodes in connection with the cochlea, which are used to detect the stimulus from the outside part. The stimulus coming to the cochlea is carried to the brain by the cochlear nerve. The surgical procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Surgical risks are low, but complaints of tinnitus, facial nerve paralysis, and dizziness may occur. Since the 1970s and 1980s, speech perception processes with implants have been gradually improved. . The quality of hearing in patients with cochlear implants and the success rate of the procedure also depend on factors such as the way the implant is placed in the cochlea, the cause and duration of hearing loss, the condition of the cochlear nerve and the patient's perception ability.
TIMING IS VERY IMPORTANT IN IMPLANT SURGERY!!!
The cochlear implant system helps restore hearing for individuals with severe and profound sensorineural hearing loss. It is also called bionic ear. Hearing loss may be congenital or acquired. Hearing aids provide little or no benefit for individuals with this type of hearing loss.
It is very important for children to have a cochlear implant surgically placed before the age of 2. Ideally, the procedure should be performed at the age of 1 because it is much easier for children to learn to talk. Even months are important; as time goes on, learning to speak becomes more difficult.
A cochlear implant is the only medical device that can replace a sense. It works by bypassing dysfunctional parts of the inner ear and provides direct electrical stimulation to the nerve fibers in the cochlea.

Eardrum repair Ear surgeries such as tympanoplasty, stapedectomy and mastoidectomy are important surgeries. It requires microsurgery and experience. The facial nerve passes through the ear area. This nerve can also be damaged by disease. It can also be damaged during surgery. When the facial nerve is injured, complications such as impaired movement on one side of the face, inability to close the eye, and the mouth shifting downward on that side significantly affect patients socially. Surgeries performed in eardrum surgeries or in the treatment of a progressive disease specific to the ear region, which we call cholesteatoma, are in the facial nerve region. Additionally, stapedectomy surgery is performed in this region for hearing impairment such as otosclerosis. In addition, the balance organ and hearing organ in the inner ear are at risk, especially in cholesteatoma disease. When ear disease damages these areas, labyrinthitis occurs and the patient's hearing may be completely lost or balance disorder may occur. Likewise, this risk also exists in tympanoplasty for eardrum repair or mastoidectomy for cholesteatoma and stapedectomy for the treatment of otosclerosis. That's why this surgery is performed under a microscope and there is a training curve that lasts for many years. In other words, these surgeries require a lot of attention and experience.
