Clinical focus

Anesthesiology is Dr. Ormancı’s primary specialty. In general terms, this field is concerned with the planning and delivery of anesthesia, the monitoring of a patient’s vital functions during procedures, and care in the period surrounding them. Within his unit, anesthesiology is combined with reanimation, and resuscitation is one of the areas of expertise listed for him. Resuscitation refers, broadly, to measures taken to support or restore breathing and circulation when these functions are compromised. Whether and how these services apply to an individual patient depends on that patient’s condition and the treatment being planned, and is decided by the treating team.

Palliative care is also among the listed areas. This branch of medicine focuses on relieving symptoms such as pain and on supporting the comfort of patients living with serious illness, alongside or independently of treatment directed at the disease itself. Patients and families considering palliative care can expect the approach to be discussed in the context of the patient’s overall situation, current treatments and personal goals, so that any plan reflects their individual circumstances.

How Dr. Ormancı works with international patients

Dr. Ormancı consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the hospital’s 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 itself. 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, which allows a patient abroad to speak with him in Turkish or English before deciding whether to travel.
