Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Yılmaz’s practice is uro-oncology, which covers the diagnosis and treatment of tumors of the urinary tract. This includes prostate cancer, kidney cancer and other kidney tumors, and bladder tumors. Robotic surgery is one of his subspecialty areas and may be considered as a surgical approach where it is clinically appropriate; the choice of technique depends on the individual diagnosis, imaging findings and the patient’s overall health, and is discussed with each patient after evaluation.

Dr. Yılmaz also focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of prostate diseases, including benign prostatic hyperplasia, and on the treatment of urethral disorders. Within urogynecology, he addresses pelvic floor disorders and pelvic floor rehabilitation, bladder health and urinary incontinence. Treatment planning in these areas typically follows a careful review of symptoms, examination findings and any previous investigations, so that the options can be weighed in relation to the specific condition and the patient’s circumstances.

How Dr. Yılmaz works with international patients

Dr. Yılmaz 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, 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. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation or review existing findings before deciding whether to travel; any recommendations made remotely are confirmed after in-person examination where this is clinically necessary.
