About the clinic
Sleep apnea surgery at Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sema Koç International Clinic in Antalya, Türkiye, helps patients who struggle with breathing during sleep. This specialized treatment is led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sema Koç, a surgeon with over 20 years of experience who has performed 10,000+ operations. The clinic holds JCI accreditation, which confirms it follows high international safety standards for every patient.
Diagnosis and Surgical Options
Treatment begins with a thorough check of the patient's sleep patterns and airway. The clinic uses polysomnography, also known as a sleep test, to measure oxygen levels and breathing pauses. An endoscopic examination allows the doctor to see physical blocks in the nose or throat. These tests help Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sema Koç create a plan for each person.
The clinic offers several surgical methods to help open the airway:
- Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP): This method reshapes the throat tissue to stop it from blocking the air.
- Laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP): The surgeon uses a laser to shorten the uvula or soft palate.
- Radiofrequency ablation: This technique uses heat energy to shrink excess tissue in the throat.
- Pillar implant: Small inserts are placed in the soft palate to make it stiffer and reduce snoring.
Advanced Robotic Surgery
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sema Koç uses the Da Vinci robotic system for snoring and sleep apnea cases. This transoral robotic surgery allows for high precision through the mouth without external cuts. It is a minimally invasive choice that helps the surgeon reach difficult areas in the throat. This technology helps patients recover faster and with less discomfort.
Who Can Have Surgery
Surgery is often recommended for people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. It is a good choice for those who cannot tolerate CPAP machines. Patients with clear physical issues, such as a deviated septum, large tonsils, or a long uvula, also benefit. Most people return to their normal daily activities in a few days. Full healing of the throat tissues usually takes a few weeks.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sema Koç International Clinic: more details about the clinic
Turkey, Antalya
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sema Koç International Clinic is a private ENT and head-and-neck surgery practice. It is located in the Muratpaşa district of Antalya, Türkiye. Established in 2020, the clinic provides medical and aesthetic surgical care. It focuses on functional ear-nose-throat treatments and facial plastic surgery.
Accreditations and Major Achievements
The clinic holds accreditation from Joint Commission International (JCI). This certification reflects a commitment to global healthcare quality and safety standards. The medical team reports a 100% satisfaction guarantee for all surgical procedures.
Founding surgeon Dr. Sema Koç earned her medical degree in 2001. She received her associate professorship in ENT in 2013. The clinic highlights her extensive surgical volume:
- Around 23 years of medical experience
- Over 3,500 rhinoplasty operations
- More than 1,170 general ENT operations
These milestones support the clinic's specialization in high-volume nasal and head-and-neck procedures.
Otolaryngology and Aesthetic Surgery
Rhinoplasty is the clinic's flagship procedure for both aesthetic and functional needs. Dr. Sema Koç performs primary and revision surgeries to improve facial harmony and breathing. The team uses ultrasonic Piezo technology to shape nasal bones with high precision.
Septoplasty corrects deviations in the nose's cartilage and bone structure. This procedure treats several chronic conditions:
- Nasal congestion and breathing difficulties
- Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea
- Reduced quality of life from poor airflow
The clinic also treats sleep-breathing disorders and pediatric issues. Specialists offer sleep apnea surgery when CPAP devices or lifestyle changes fail. For children, adenoid and tonsil removals use plasma technology. This method reduces bleeding and supports faster recovery.
Hearing and balance care is central to the practice. Dr. Sema Koç completed a master's degree in Audiology in 2014. The clinic treats various types of dizziness, including vertigo and Meniere's disease. Head and neck cancer care is also available for international patients.
Diagnostic and Treatment Technology
The clinic uses specialized equipment to evaluate ear, nose, and throat health. For balance and dizziness, the team uses Video-Nystagmography (VNG) and Posturography testing. They also use the Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) to assess vestibular function.
Respiratory and hearing diagnostics include a variety of precise tools:
- Laryngoscopy and Otoscopy
- Nasal Endoscopy and Audiometry
- CT imaging for chest and nasal structures
These tools allow for detailed 3D nasal simulations before aesthetic surgeries.
International Patient Services
The clinic offers organized "Aesthetic Vacation" packages for patients traveling from abroad. A professional team manages date selection and hotel reservations in Antalya. Private transportation is available via luxury vehicles with a professional guide.
The team provides services in five languages: Turkish, English, Russian, Arabic, and German. The clinic coordinates travel so patients can return home by day 5. Postoperative care includes a tracking protocol to monitor healing after discharge.
