Department of Pulmonology and Somnology
Specialized in: pulmonology, somnology About the Department of Pulmonology and Somnology at Memorial Bahcelievler Hospital Istanbul
The Department of Pulmonology and Somnology at the Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital Istanbul offers the full range of highly accurate diagnostics and effective conservative treatment of diseases of the lungs and other respiratory organs. The department has all resources for provision of top-class medical care – highly qualified doctors with extensive clinical experience, cutting-edge diagnostic equipment for detection of pathological changes in the structure of the respiratory system, as well as effective advanced drugs and other conservative treatment methods. The department's specialists successfully treat pathologies of varying severity, ranging from simple bronchitis to complex types of pneumonia, bronchial asthma and lung cancer. The department is headed by Dr. med. Engin Aynacı.
The department includes a modern Respiratory Physiology Laboratory, which carries out spiroergometry, ergospirometry, measurement of diffusion capacity of the lungs, bronchial provocation test, arterial oxygen saturation measurement and many other diagnostic examinations.
In addition, the department's medical team specializes in bronchoscopy – flexible, rigid and videobronchoscopy. This examination is indicated for patients with suspected benign and malignant neoplasms, inflammatory processes, cystic fibrosis, bronchial asthma, etc. Bronchoscopy is an endoscopic method for examination of the respiratory tract, which is used for detection of pathological lesions of the mucous membrane of the larynx, trachea and bronchi. The procedure is carried out on an inpatient basis using a special instrument called a bronchoscope. The bronchoscope has the shape of a flexible or rigid tube with a diameter of 3-6 mm. It is equipped with a light source and a video camera. When performing the examination, the doctor displays images on a computer monitor. If necessary, during the bronchoscopy, the pulmonologist can take tissue samples for a biopsy. It should be noted that the department uses rigid bronchoscopy not only for diagnostic, but also for therapeutic purposes. For example, it is effective for the arrest of hemorrhage, removal of large foreign objects from the respiratory tract, aspiration of fluid from the lungs, removal of tumors, dilation of the bronchial lumen, etc.
An important focus of the department's work is somnology. The specialists in this discipline deal with the diagnostics and treatment of sleep disorders. Both sleep quality assessment and
treatment of its disorders are carried out within a specialized Sleep Laboratory. The clinical practice is mainly focused on the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, snoring and insomnia.

- Diagnostics and treatment of lung cancer
- Diagnostics and treatment of exogenous allergic alveolitis
