Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bülent Dinç from the General Surgery Clinic of ANTALYA Training and Research Hospital and Specialist Dr. Mehmet İlker Turan from the General Surgery Clinic of Kepez State Hospital remove the thyroid gland or nodules with a surgery they perform through the area between the lower lip and the teeth.
25 Surgeries In 6 Months
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bülent Dinç, who performs thyroid surgeries with a closed method through the mouth together with Specialist Dr. Mehmet İlker Turan, stated that surgeries with this method have many advantages. Emphasizing that there is no scar on the neck in such surgeries, Assoc. Prof. Dinç said, "In addition, the likelihood of damaging the vocal cords and the nerve is lower. The risk of infection that may occur in open surgery is low. The pain is less. The patient’s return to normal life is also shorter compared to open surgery," he said. Specialist Dr. Mehmet İlker Turan said, "We performed 25 surgeries in a period of 6 months. In our country, Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine Hospital, Ege University Hospital, and us perform it. In the world, we are one of 32 centers," he said.
