Mahir Bülent Özgen, MD is a urologist at Acibadem Altunizade Hospital in İstanbul, where he practices within the Urology unit. He has more than 26 years in medicine. His work spans several areas of urology, including urological oncology, andrology and male reproductive health, the treatment of sexual dysfunction, pelvic floor disorders, the diagnosis and treatment of prostate diseases, robotic surgery, the treatment of urethral diseases, and urogynecology.

Dr. Özgen graduated from İstanbul University İstanbul Faculty of Medicine in 2000 and completed his specialty training in urology at Marmara University Faculty of Medicine in 2010. He has been working within Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 2016. He consults in Turkish and English.

Clinical focus

A substantial part of Dr. Özgen’s practice concerns kidney diseases, including kidney cancer, kidney stones, kidney failure, and hydronephrosis. He also evaluates and treats hematuria (blood in the urine), urinary tract conditions, bladder diseases, urinary stones, and urethral diseases. In urologic oncology, he sees patients with cancers of the urinary and male reproductive systems. Prostate conditions, including benign prostate enlargement, form another part of his work. Where the clinical picture allows, robotic or laparoscopic surgical options may be discussed alongside other approaches, and the choice between them depends on the individual findings.

In andrology and male reproductive health, Dr. Özgen addresses infertility, sexual dysfunction, and sexually transmitted diseases. His practice also includes pelvic floor disorders and urogynecology, and he sees children with urological conditions within pediatric urology. Diagnostic and treatment decisions are made after examination and a review of existing results, and the options are explained to the patient so that the reasoning behind each step is clear.

How Dr. Özgen works with international patients

Dr. Özgen 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 organizes 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 and may be used for an initial review of a case or for follow-up, depending on the situation. Any recommendation regarding treatment or surgery is made only after the relevant findings have been assessed, and further tests may be requested if the existing information is incomplete.
