Clinical focus

Dr. Yassa assesses and treats a range of benign and malignant gynecological conditions. His areas of expertise include endometriosis treatment, the management of pelvic pain, fibroids, HPV and endometrial cancer. In urogynecology, he cares for women with pelvic floor disorders, urinary incontinence and uterine prolapse, and his practice includes pelvic floor rehabilitation as well as genital aesthetics. He also follows patients through the menopause, addressing symptoms and longer-term health considerations in this period.

Where surgery is considered, Dr. Yassa applies minimally invasive techniques, including robotic surgery, vaginal laparoscopy and vNOTES scarless surgery, in which the operation is performed through the vagina without abdominal incisions. The suitability of any particular approach depends on the individual diagnosis, previous treatments and overall health, and is determined after a full clinical assessment and discussion with the patient.

How Dr. Yassa works with international patients

Dr. Yassa consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, 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 available options, including whether a conservative or surgical approach may be appropriate. Video consultations are available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling, and these can be used for an initial review of reports or for follow-up after treatment.
