Sleep Apnea Surgery in Dr. Selçuk Güney ENT Clinic (Vital Fulya Clinic)
About the clinic
Sleep apnea surgery at Dr. Selçuk Güney ENT Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, focuses on correcting airway obstructions to restore healthy breathing. The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate and was the first in Turkey to receive this accreditation in 2017. Treatment plans rely on precise diagnostic data to identify why a patient stops breathing during sleep.
Advanced Sleep Diagnostics
Diagnosis begins with a polysomnography, or sleep test. The clinic uses 33-channel monitoring to track the body during rest. This tool measures brain functions, blood oxygen saturation, and diaphragm movements. By analyzing these parameters, the medical team finds the exact location of the breathing block. This detailed map helps determine if the issue is in the nose, throat, or tongue root.
Surgical Correction for Sleep Apnea
A large tongue falling back and closing the trachea is a factor in 80% of apnea cases. While methods like radiofrequency or cutting the palate have limited effects, the clinic focuses on tongue root stretching surgery. This approach is the most preferred method for addressing the primary cause of blockage. The surgeon can address multiple points of obstruction in a single session. This multi-level treatment targets the nose, palate, and tongue root all at once.
Quality Standards in Istanbul
Dr. Selçuk Güney ENT Clinic operates within the Vital Fulya Clinic. It meets official government standards for international patient care. The facility avoids temporary fixes and instead focuses on physical corrections that keep the airway open. Patients receive a treatment plan based on their specific 33-channel sleep test results.

Dr. Selçuk Güney ENT Clinic (Vital Fulya Clinic): more details about the clinic
Dr. Selçuk Güney ENT Clinic is a private single-specialty medical facility in Istanbul. Founded in 1995, it sits within Vital Fulya Plaza in the Şişli district. The practice focuses on otolaryngology and facial aesthetics under Associate Professor Dr. Selçuk Güney.
Accreditations and Professional Standing
The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate. This confirms the facility meets official standards for treating patients from abroad.
Dr. Güney graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine. He completed his specialization in 1996 at Istanbul Göztepe Training and Research Hospital. His background includes international research at Tel-Aviv University through an Israel MASHAV scholarship.
Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialization
The clinic provides surgical and medical treatments for various ENT conditions. Rhinology and sinus surgery are the primary focus areas.
Specialists treat several ENT conditions:
- Chronic sinusitis through advanced surgical intervention
- Sleep apnea and snoring using multi-level obstruction analysis
- Eustachian tube problems and middle ear issues
- Tonsillitis and adenoid problems in children
- Head and neck tumors
For sleep apnea, the clinic offers polysomnography (sleep testing) with 33-channel monitoring. This diagnostic tool records brain functions, oxygen levels, and diaphragm movements during sleep. Surgeons can address multiple obstruction points in a single session to improve breathing.
Pediatric care focuses on children with breathing difficulties or recurrent infections. Common procedures include tonsil removal and managing ear problems related to adenoids.
Facial Aesthetics and Paralysis Care
The clinic applies its ENT expertise to Mimicplasty – a specialized framework for facial interventions. This approach focuses on balancing muscle power rather than standard aesthetic treatments. It addresses both cosmetic concerns and functional issues like facial asymmetry or synkinesis.
Facial services include several non-surgical methods:
- Targeted Botox injections to correct muscle power balance
- Hyaluronic acid fillers for volume and contour
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy
- Growth hormone-based skin treatments
Dr. Güney emphasizes precise muscle targeting to avoid functional loss or increased wrinkles. During consultations, he uses online image sharing to show patients expected results for rhinoplasty or facial procedures.
Diagnostic Equipment and Technology
The clinic uses specialized tools to evaluate the ear, nose, and throat. Diagnostic imaging and hearing assessments happen on-site, so treatment plans are tailored to each patient. Surgery is recommended only when medical management falls short.
Available diagnostic technologies include:
- Endovision – endoscopic examination for internal assessment
- Flexible nasopharyngoscope – for comfortable viewing of nasal passages
- Amplivox 270 – an audio device that measures precise hearing loss parameters
- Ear microscopy – for detailed visualization of the ear canal and eardrum
- CT scans and laryngoscopy for tumor or sinus evaluation
The clinic is housed in a smart building that is fully earthquake-resistant. The facility includes sterilization units and modern fire protection systems.
Services for International Patients
Dr. Selçuk Güney ENT Clinic primarily treats patients from abroad. The facility serves individuals from the USA, England, Germany, the Netherlands, and several Middle Eastern countries. The website is available in seven languages.
Patients can access online consultations with Dr. Güney before traveling. This allows for a preliminary review of symptoms and medical history. International visitors receive an individualized care plan before arriving in Istanbul.
