Clinical focus

Dr. Yalçın evaluates and treats a broad range of urologic conditions in adults, and his areas of expertise also include pediatric urology. In the field of male reproductive health, he sees patients with infertility and provides sexual dysfunction treatment, and he also manages sexually transmitted infections. His prostate work includes the assessment and treatment of prostate enlargement, an area reflected in his published research on laser enucleation of the prostate.

His practice further covers kidney diseases, kidney cancer, and kidney stones, as well as hematuria (blood in the urine), bladder health, and urinary incontinence. He also treats urethral diseases and addresses urogynecologic conditions. Where appropriate, Dr. Yalçın uses robotic surgery; the choice of approach depends on the individual diagnosis, imaging findings, and the patient’s overall health, and is discussed with each patient after evaluation.

How Dr. Yalçın works with international patients

Dr. Yalçın consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, for example MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and 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 who wish to discuss their case with Dr. Yalçın before deciding whether to travel.
