Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Gümüş’s work is the care of patients with joint disorders, in particular osteoarthritis. Evaluation typically begins with the patient’s history and symptoms, a clinical examination and a review of existing imaging, so that the stage of joint damage and the effect of any previous treatment can be understood before options are discussed. When joint replacement is considered appropriate, he performs hip replacement surgery and knee replacement surgery. His subspecialty interests include robotic surgery, and he performs robotic knee surgery for suitable patients; whether a robotic approach is used depends on the individual case and is decided together with the patient.

Dr. Gümüş also treats sports and knee injuries, including cruciate ligament tears and meniscal tears, as well as orthopedic trauma. Wound care is a further area of his expertise, and he follows patients who need wound management in connection with orthopedic conditions or after surgery. In each of these areas, the choice between non-surgical and surgical treatment is based on the findings of the examination and imaging and on the patient’s own circumstances and expectations.

How Dr. Gümüş works with international patients

Dr. Gümüş 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, arranges appointments and organises the hospital visit. A first consultation with Dr. Gümüş 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 consultation is available for international patients who wish to review their situation with him before deciding whether to travel.
