Clinical focus

Dr. Uysal’s clinical work centers on anesthesia for surgical procedures and on perioperative anesthesia care, which refers to the anesthetic management of a patient before, during and after an operation. This includes reviewing a patient’s medical history and current condition ahead of surgery, planning and delivering anesthesia during the procedure, and monitoring the patient as anesthesia is withdrawn. The choice of anesthetic approach depends on the type of surgery, the patient’s overall health and the surgical team’s requirements, and is discussed with the patient beforehand.

His practice also includes resuscitation, the recognition and management of acute, life-threatening deterioration in a patient’s condition. As part of the Anesthesiology & Reanimation unit, he works alongside surgeons and other specialists so that anesthetic care is coordinated with the wider treatment plan. His experience spans university hospital, general hospital and private medical center settings in Eskişehir and Gaziantep.

How Dr. Uysal works with international patients

Dr. Uysal speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who need support in other languages. For patients traveling from abroad, 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 options. Because anesthetic care is planned around a specific procedure, information about the intended surgery and any previous experience with anesthesia is useful at this stage. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to speak with Dr. Uysal before deciding whether to travel.
