Clinical focus

Dr. Hacıoğlu’s surgical work centers on the digestive system. He evaluates and operates on patients with gastrointestinal and colorectal conditions and manages diseases of the pancreas, the biliary tract and the liver. Further information on the conditions treated at the hospital is available on the liver disease treatment page. He also performs abdominal wall hernia repair, including inguinal hernia and umbilical hernia.

A second area of his practice is proctology. He treats hemorrhoids and other anorectal diseases, an area in which he has also contributed to published research. In endocrine surgery, his focus is on thyroid surgery and related endocrine surgical conditions. The suitability of any surgical option depends on the individual patient’s findings and is decided after a clinical assessment and review of existing results.

How Dr. Hacıoğlu works with international patients

Dr. Hacıoğlu consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the available options. Video consultations are available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Hacıoğlu before traveling to İzmir; a final treatment decision usually requires an in-person examination.
