Surgical specialties
Bariatric and metabolic surgery
The bariatric service offers both surgical and endoscopic weight loss options. Sleeve gastrectomy removes about 75–80% of the stomach. What remains is a narrow, tube-shaped stomach.
- Sleeve gastrectomy
- Gastric bypass
- Gastric balloon placement by endoscopy
- Revisional bariatric surgery
Gastric bypass makes the stomach smaller and reconnects it to the small intestine. The gastric balloon, by contrast, needs no surgery.
Cancer surgery
Dr. Kara operates on stomach, colon, and thyroid cancers. If a selected cancer has spread within the abdomen, treatment may include HIPEC.
HIPEC delivers heated chemotherapy straight into the abdomen during surgery. It may be an option when the cancer started in the stomach, colon, ovaries, or appendix.
General surgery
General surgery covers digestive tract and abdominal conditions. Operations are open or laparoscopic, depending on the condition.
- Hernia repair
- Gallbladder surgery
- Gastroscopy and colonoscopy
- Thyroid surgery
- Anti-reflux surgery
Gastroscopy examines the upper digestive tract, and colonoscopy checks the lower one. Minor treatments can take place during the same procedure.
Diagnostic and surgical technology
Ultrasound helps assess gallbladder problems. With endoscopy, the doctor can examine the digestive tract and take biopsies when needed.
Laparoscopic surgery is available too, so operations can be done through small incisions.

Hello, two weeks ago I underwent two plastic surgeries (tummy tuck and breast augmentation with implants) with Dr. Cemal Kara and I'm delighted with the results. The procedures were performed perfectly, with complete professionalism, simply perfection. I traveled from afar and was very apprehensive before the surgery, but Dr. Cemal Kara's team provided me with incredible care and support both before and after the surgery. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the entire process (surgery, post-operative care, and patient care). Dr. Cemal Kara is an excellent surgeon and his team consists of very reliable and caring people. Simply superb. 10/10

Me and my sister had sleeve surgery with Dr Camal Kara clinic, we had so much good experience and we loved how we’ve been looked after and been cared from the nurses and the Dr it self from the first day we entered the hospital till we left.
Many thanks to Mert who went through with us on everything and explained us the process of getting sleeve surgery and been very good translator and been transport with VIP car :D.
I highly recommend if anyone wants to get any surgery done go for it with Dr Cemal Kara he had so many years of experience and very trustworthy surgeon.
it been 9 days since I got it done so far I lost 8 kg and I am already over the moon.
We was provided with 6 month multivitamin and 3 month collagen and 20 pieces of protein shake for the first 10 days of liquid process and many more.
With Dr Cemal Kara and his staff you are in a good hand.
Thank you so much
From me and my sister :)

I am major obese so it has come to a decision to getting surgery because I have tried everything. I am so glad and thankful to have made that decision because the doctors & nurses were really really helpful. They ensured we were comfortable, and took great care of me and my sister after surgery. I am beyond grateful and thankful to have met a wonderful team that were so devoted and so sweet towards me and my family during the visit in the hospital. Everything was perfect, the process was even explained clearly, thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️

I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Cemal Kara, and the entire team for their incredible care and support throughout my gastric sleeve operation in October 2021. Thanks to their expertise and guidance, I achieved amazing results—reaching 58kg within just one year.
Before the operation, I suffered from polycystic ovaries, but after the surgery, this condition completely resolved. I’m now thrilled to share that I am pregnant—something I had dreamed of for so long. This has truly been a life-changing experience.
Throughout the entire journey, communication with Dr. Kara, and the team was so easy. They were always patient, kind, and happy to answer all my questions, no matter how small. Their support gave me confidence every step of the way.
I was so happy with my journey that I recommended the same operation to both of my sisters-in-law, and I’m delighted to say they both had very successful outcomes too. We were kept updated throughout both of their procedures, which gave us great peace of mind. Once again, I can’t thank Dr. Kara, Mert, and their fantastic team enough.
I’m forever grateful for everything they’ve done. I couldn’t have asked for better care and support.

I was very impressed with Dr Kara and although still recovering, am pleased with my results.
Mert my interpreter has shown a lot of care and kindness and we are in constant contact, if I'm concerned about anything and he asks how I'm doing.
Would recommend ⭐👍😊
