The top medical and surgical specialties offered at the Medical Park Izmir Hospital are mentioned below: 1. Pancreatitis 2. Breast Cancer 3. Cataract 4. Adrenal Gland Surgery • Pancreatitis Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas. This organ is responsible for the production of many important enzymes in the body, therefore any pathology in it can cause a lot of destruction in the abdomen. Patients usually come with complaints of upper abdominal pain which gets worse after eating and radiates to the back. Doctors at the Medical Park Izmir Hospital make sure to exclude any other causes after examining the patient. The radiation of pain is usually the characteristic finding in such patients. Blood tests to check for elevated pancreatic enzymes are immediately sent. An abdominal ultrasound is done to analyze the extent of inflammation. Moreover, a CT scan and MRI scan give conclusive evidence and show if there is any blockage in the pancreatic duct. Treatment of such patients begins by giving them analgesics to manage the pain. ERCP is then conducted to examine the obstruction, and surgery is then performed to drain fluid or damaged tissue. • Breast Cancer Breast Cancer is one of the most common cancers found in women. There are many risk factors associated with breast cancer such as a positive family history, old age, obesity, exposure to radiation, and smoking. There are a bunch of symptoms that point towards breast cancer. One of the most common ones is the presence of a lump in the breast tissue. Women who complain of changes in the skin over the breast or the invention of their nipple are very carefully investigated at the Medical Park Izmir Hospital. A breast exam is usually very helpful in finding lumps; however, a breast ultrasound is conducted to check for any mass that might not be detected manually due to its small size. This also helps distinguish if the mass is solid or a fluid-filled cyst. After that, a biopsy is taken of that mass if there is suspicion of cancer, and then later through an MRI scan, the extent of cancer can be evaluated. All of these steps help in the early detection of the cancer-producing cells so that they can be removed surgically. Chemotherapy often follows such surgeries to make sure no other metastatic cells are left in the body. Medical Park Izmir Hospital provides great care to its patients recovering from breast cancer. • Cataract Cataracts develop when the lens of the eye opacifies, resulting in blurred, or double vision. It is usually a condition of old age, but it can also be present at birth. Some of the signs and symptoms that patients present with cataracts are cloudy or blurry vision, presence of halos around lights, perception of double vision, increased sensitivity to light. Based on the history of complaints and a proper eye exam, ophthalmologists diagnose these patients. These patients are then recommended surgery, to get their opacified lens removed. The surgery involves the breakdown of the defective lens by a process called phacoemulsification. After that, a new lens is placed in its position. The new intraocular lens then helps restore vision; however, it is advised to not place a lot of strain on the eyes after this surgery. • Adrenal Gland Surgery Adrenal Gland Surgery is also known as laparoscopic adrenalectomy. This involves the removal of both the adrenal glands. These glands are responsible for the production of many hormones in the body. They also regulate metabolism, maintain blood pressure, and blood glucose in the body. There are three techniques involved in the removal of the two glands. One is the minimally invasive laparoscopic surgical procedure, in which a small incision is made on the abdomen from which the tumor is removed after careful guidance of a camera. Large or cancerous adrenal tumors are removed by the open technique, in which the abdomen is cut to carefully remove the glands. Another procedure called Cryoablation is also being used to treat adrenal tumors.
