Clinical focus

Dr. Uğraş assesses and treats patients with digestive system conditions, including colorectal surgery, gastroenterological and coloproctological surgery, and small intestine cancer. He also manages gallbladder disease, including cholecystitis, and abdominal wall hernias such as inguinal hernia and umbilical hernia. In the anorectal field, his practice includes the treatment of hemorrhoids, anal fissure and other anorectal diseases.

How Dr. Uğraş works with international patients

Dr. Uğraş consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the 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 options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Uğraş before deciding whether to travel to Bursa.
