About Asst. Prof. Dr. Meltem Açıl
Asst. Prof. Dr. Meltem Açıl is an anesthesiology specialist practising at Acibadem Adana Hospital and Acibadem Adana Ortopedia Hospital. Her listed clinical interests — intensive care treatment, palliative care, advanced life support and pain management — cover the full arc of anesthesiology’s responsibility: the care that surrounds an operation, and the care that continues when patients are at their most vulnerable.
She trained entirely at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, graduating in 1996 and completing her specialty training in anesthesiology and reanimation there in 2002. She has worked with Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 2009.
Her published work includes a case report on pheochromocytoma syndrome first evaluated as Takotsubo syndrome, and a study on how different anesthesia approaches affect postoperative bowel movements in cesarean section operations — both reflecting the anesthesiologist’s dual world of critical diagnosis and everyday surgical care.
For international patients treated at the two Adana hospitals, Dr. Açıl’s role is the coordinated anesthesiology support around planned procedures — assessment before surgery, anesthesia care during it, and attention to pain management and critical care needs afterwards. She consults in Turkish and English.
