Menopause is listed as his subspecialty, and his clinical interests extend to pelvic pain, endometriosis, HPV-related conditions, gynecological cancers and minimally invasive surgical approaches.

Dr. Erdem graduated from Ankara University Faculty of Medicine in 2004 and completed his Obstetrics and Gynecology training at Taksim Training and Research Hospital in 2009. His further training includes a laparoscopy course with the World association of Laparoscopy surgeons at Laparoscopy hospital in New Delhi (2008), training in the Constasure incontinence system at Hospital severo ochoa in Madrid (2012), Gynecologic Oncology Surgery at Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Training and Research Hospital (2018) and Da Vinci robotic surgery training with Intuitive (2021). His career began in 2008 at Acıbadem Healthcare Services. He then worked in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Ağrı State Hospital (2010–2011) and Arnavutköy State Hospital (2011–2015), followed by Gynecologic Oncology Surgery at İstanbul Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Training and Research Hospital (2018–2020), the Gynecologic Oncology Clinic at Başakşehir Çam ve Sakura City Hospital (2020–2021) and Obstetrics and Gynecology at İstinye University Liv Hospital (2021).

Clinical focus

Dr. Erdem sees patients with a broad range of gynecological concerns. These include menopause and its associated symptoms, pelvic pain and functional disorders, and endometriosis. He also manages HPV-related conditions, including the treatment of genital warts and whole-body wart treatment. In gynecologic oncology, his areas of expertise cover endometrial cancer and cervical cancer.

His surgical practice includes hysterectomy and the treatment of uterine prolapse. He performs vNOTES scarless surgery and vaginal laparoscopy, approaches in which the procedure is carried out through the vagina rather than through abdominal incisions. His training also includes conventional laparoscopy, the Constasure incontinence system and Da Vinci robotic surgery. Which approach is appropriate depends on the individual diagnosis, the patient’s history and the findings of the clinical examination, and is discussed with each patient before any decision is made.

How Dr. Erdem works with international patients

Dr. Erdem consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, arranges appointments and organises 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 medical and surgical options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before travelling, although a clinical examination and any final treatment decision take place in person.
