The Department of Gynecology, Gynecologic Oncology and Obstetrics at the Baskent University Hospital Istanbul offers the full range of high-quality medical services for the prevention, diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the female reproductive system. The department also specializes in integrated management of pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal care both for mother and child. The primary focus of the department's clinical activities is the provision of high-quality medical care to patients with gynecologic cancers – uterine, cervical, ovarian, fallopian tube and vulvar cancer. The department's specialists are known as the best doctors in the field of their expertise and regularly demonstrate excellent treatment results. The high treatment success rates are facilitated not only by the professionalism of the medical staff, but also by the high-tech equipment of the department. Most gynecological interventions are performed using sparing laparoscopic techniques that require only a few miniature skin incisions. In addition, the department's specialists perform robot-assisted interventions using the innovative da Vinci surgical system. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Murat Naki.
The specialists in general gynecology are responsible for clinical gynecologic examinations, ultrasound scanning, colposcopy, hormone tests, treatment of menstrual disorders, menopause and its manifestations, treatment of infections of the genitourinary system in women, as well as sexually transmitted diseases, treatment of uterine fibroids and endometriosis. When treating most gynecologic pathologies, the department's gynecologists strive to apply only conservative methods. As a rule, drug therapy is sufficient. However, uterine fibroids or endometriosis may require surgical methods. The treatment regimen depends on the severity of the pathological process. Each clinical case is unique, and therefore the treatment regimen is appointed individually.
The department's specialists deal with the detection and treatment of gynecologic cancers every day. As a rule, women start searching for medical care not at the initial stage of cancer, so to completely cure the patient or achieve a long-term remission, a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach is required. Each clinical case is considered at the tumor board, which involves not only gynecologists, but also oncologists, radiologists, chemotherapists, radiation therapists and other specialists. The department's doctors set themselves the task to elaborate an optimal treatment regimen, which will not only give good results, but will be the most sparing for the female body. When treating gynecologic cancer in women of childbearing age, the specialists always try to preserve the reproductive organs, so the woman has the opportunity to become a mother in the future. The treatment of cancers of the female genital organs is based on the surgical removal of the tumor. The department performs all kinds of modern gynecologic operations to treat cancer, namely, classic open surgery, minimally invasive operations and robot-assisted interventions using the da Vinci surgical system. The technique of the surgical procedure is determined according to the stage of cancer, the size and localization of the tumor, the patient’s general health and the anatomical features of her body. Whenever possible, the department's specialists try to avoid open surgery, which requires a longer postoperative recovery than sparing laparoscopic interventions. However, surgery alone is not enough to cure cancer. The surgical treatment is complemented by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy and other treatments. In the case of advanced gynecologic cancers, the patients are provided with high quality palliative care, which aims to relieve pain and improve the quality of life.
Obstetric care is also an important focus of the department's clinical activities. The regular screening of pregnancy and monitoring of fetal development take place in modern diagnostic rooms with state-of-the-art ultrasound devices. Women give birth in comfortably equipped birthing rooms with all the necessary aids for a successful childbirth. If necessary, the woman in labor is provided with epidural anesthesia to relieve pain. The department also offers various relaxation techniques, acupuncture, homeopathy, aromatherapy, etc. All of these methods relieve pain during childbirth. With appropriate clinical indications, the obstetricians perform C-section.
