Ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy (kidney stone removal) in Özel Deva Hastanesi

Deva Hospital is a private multi-specialty medical center in the Sahinbey district of Gaziantep, Turkey. It opened in 1994 and has since grown to 28 medical branches. The hospital has 160 patient beds and 5 operating rooms. Its 65 intensive care beds support patients who need complex surgical or emergency care.

Accreditations and Quality Standards

Several quality certifications cover the hospital's clinical and administrative processes. These include TS EN 15224:2012 and TS EN 15224 SKYS-HQMS quality management certifications. In a recent national quality audit, the facility scored 97.8. Both standards require medical services to follow structured safety and performance protocols.

Specialties and Clinical Capabilities

Deva Hospital's 28 departments offer both surgical and non-surgical treatment. Over 50 doctors cover adult and pediatric specialties.

Neurosurgery and Spine Care

Dr. Mustafa Ozkan leads the Brain and Nerve Surgery unit. His team focuses on brain tumors and spine health. For herniated discs, surgeons use endoscopic microdiscectomy. This small-incision technique relieves pressure on the nerve. Other complex conditions the department treats include:

• Cervical and lumbar disc herniation
• Brain hemorrhages and trauma cases
• Nerve compression in the wrist or elbow
• Brain tumors requiring surgical removal

Patients with back and neck pain can choose non-surgical options, such as ozone therapy and radiofrequency treatments.

Urology and Kidney Stone Treatment

The Urology department diagnoses and surgically treats urinary system diseases. Dr. Ali Murat Barazi leads the unit, with a focus on laparoscopic and laser-based procedures. For kidney stones, the clinic uses the Flexible URS method. Its stone clearance rates reach 92%–95%. Surgeons reach the kidney through the urinary canal, so no skin incisions are needed.

Other urological services include treatment for:

• Prostate and bladder cancer
• Female urinary incontinence using non-surgical ESWT
• Male infertility and sexual dysfunction
• Pediatric urology and circumcision

Cardiology and Heart Health

The Cardiology unit provides emergency and planned care for ischemic heart disease and rhythm disorders. Dr. Mehmet Resat Ayalp and his team treat heart attacks, heart failure, and valve diseases. Tests include color Doppler imaging and stress electrocardiography. For patients with blocked arteries, the hospital performs both angiography and bypass surgery.

Orthopedics and Bariatric Surgery

The Orthopedics and Traumatology unit is open 24/7. It treats bone fractures, joint dislocations, and sports injuries. Surgeons perform arthroscopic procedures and hip or knee prosthesis surgeries.

For weight loss, the Obesity Clinic offers sleeve gastrectomy. Surgeons remove about 80% of the stomach. This limits how much a patient can eat and stops the production of hunger-stimulating hormones.

Diagnostic Equipment

The Radiology department supports all medical units with advanced imaging for accurate diagnosis. Key systems include 1.5T MRI and CT scanners. Specialized exams include:

• Spectroscopy and Cardiac MR for detailed heart and brain analysis
• 4D Doppler ultrasound for vascular and pregnancy imaging
• Digital mammography for breast cancer screening
• Fluoroscopy and HSG for specialized structural studies

Within the hospital, a dedicated Breast Cancer Center handles full screening and treatment planning.

Services for International Patients

Deva Hospital treats patients from many countries, including the United Kingdom and Kyrgyzstan. Staff offer multilingual support in English, German, and Arabic to help with medical coordination. Online consultations are available for initial evaluations or to receive results remotely. During their visit, the coordination team helps international patients find their way across the 28 medical departments.
