Clinical focus

In gynecology, Dr. Özleme evaluates and treats endometriosis, menstrual irregularities and menopause-related complaints. Her surgical work includes hysterectomy, vaginal laparoscopic surgery and vNOTES scarless surgery, an approach performed through the vagina without abdominal incisions. Whether a vaginal or laparoscopic approach is appropriate depends on the individual diagnosis, previous surgeries and the findings of the clinical examination, and this is discussed with each patient before any decision is made. She also sees patients with urinary incontinence and bladder health concerns, and offers genital aesthetic procedures, including vaginal tightening and vaginal whitening.

In obstetrics, Dr. Özleme follows pregnancies and supports delivery planning. Her areas of expertise include epidural delivery, water birth and cesarean delivery. The mode of delivery is planned according to the course of the pregnancy, the health of the mother and baby, and the mother’s preferences, and is reviewed as the pregnancy progresses.

How Dr. Özleme works with international patients

Dr. Özleme consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, arranges appointments and organises 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 with Dr. Özleme before deciding whether to travel; recommendations made remotely are provisional until an in-person examination and any necessary tests have been completed.
