Mehmet Behram Çam, MD

Mehmet Behram Çam, MD is an otorhinolaryngology specialist at Acibadem Altunizade Hospital in İstanbul, where he practices within the Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) unit with a subspecialty focus on head and neck surgery and sleep disorders. With more than 21 years in medicine, his clinical work covers ear, nose and throat conditions, head and neck disease, sleep-related breathing problems and voice concerns in adult and pediatric patients.

Dr. Çam graduated from Marmara University Faculty of Medicine in 2005 and completed his specialty training at the Marmara University Faculty of Medicine Department of Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases between 2005 and 2011. He then worked at Kars Devlet Hospital from 2011 to 2013 and in private otorhinolaryngology practice from 2013 to 2015, before joining Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2015. In 2016 he attended Harvard University Medical School, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. He has co-authored peer-reviewed publications on topics including xylitol treatment of the nasal mucosa in an experimental model of rhinitis medicamentosa, incus augmentation with glass ionomer cement in primary and revision stapes surgery, the protective effects of vitamin E on cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in rats, a giant Warthin’s tumor case, bilateral very large Haller cells, and a book chapter on the effects of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea on daily life.

Clinical focus

A substantial part of Dr. Çam’s practice is head and neck surgery, including the assessment and surgical management of head and neck cancers and salivary gland diseases. He also evaluates patients with hoarseness and other voice changes, where a careful examination of the larynx helps clarify the cause before any treatment is proposed.

In otology, he performs middle ear surgery and assesses patients with hearing loss and vertigo, conditions that often require a stepwise diagnostic approach before options are discussed. His work in sleep disorders addresses snoring and sleep-related breathing problems, drawing on his clinical experience and his published work in this field. He also treats sinusitis and performs nasal surgery, tonsillectomy and adenoid surgery. In each case the decision to operate is weighed against non-surgical alternatives and the individual patient’s findings.

How Dr. Çam works with international patients

Dr. Çam 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 medical reports, imaging and hearing or sleep test results, arranges appointments and organises the hospital stay. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical ENT examination and a discussion of the possible options, including whether further tests are needed before a plan can be made. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their case or review findings remotely before deciding whether to travel.
