Clinical focus

Dr. Manavoğlu’s practice covers the range of ear, nose and throat conditions that are evaluated in an outpatient ENT setting. The assessment usually begins with a detailed history of the patient’s symptoms, followed by a clinical examination and, where relevant, a review of any imaging or test results that have already been obtained. On this basis, the findings are explained to the patient and the possible next steps are discussed in a measured way, taking into account the individual situation and any previous treatments.

Nasal complaints are among the concerns commonly brought to an ENT specialist. Patients who wish to learn more about surgery of the nasal septum can find general information on septoplasty on this site. Whether any procedure is suitable for a particular patient can only be determined after an individual clinical evaluation, and Dr. Manavoğlu discusses the expected course, alternatives and limitations of any proposed approach with the patient before a decision is made.

How Dr. Manavoğlu works with international patients

Dr. Manavoğlu 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 the practical aspects of 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, which can be helpful for an initial review of a case or for follow-up when travel is not immediately possible; in-person examination remains an important part of ENT assessment, and the specialist will indicate when this is needed.
