Pancreatic cyst Treatment in Prof. Dr. Ebru Ayvazoğlu Soy
About the clinic
Treatment for a pancreatic cyst at the clinic of Prof. Dr. Ebru Ayvazoğlu Soy in Ankara, Turkey, focuses on preventing the development of pancreatic cancer. Prof. Dr. Ebru Ayvazoğlu Soy leads the surgical team with over 10 years of experience in general surgery and transplant medicine. The clinic is known for using ERAS protocols. These protocols help patients recover faster after complex abdominal procedures.
Diagnostic options for pancreatic cysts
Accurate imaging is necessary to determine if a cyst is precancerous or benign. The medical team uses specific tools to visualize the pancreas and the cyst structure. Patients may undergo the following tests:
- MRI scan. This provides detailed images of the pancreatic ducts and cyst fluid.
- CT scan. A computed tomography scan helps locate the cyst and its proximity to blood vessels.
- Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). This test allows the doctor to take fluid samples from the cyst if needed.
Surgical treatment methods
Surgery is often required for mucinous cysts like IPMN or MCN because they can turn into cancer. Prof. Dr. Ebru Ayvazoğlu Soy performs these procedures using techniques that minimize trauma to the body. The surgery typically lasts between 2 to 4 hours depending on the cyst location.
- Laparoscopic surgery. This minimally invasive method uses small incisions and a camera. It leads to less pain and shorter hospital stays.
- Robotic surgery. The surgeon uses a robotic system for high precision during delicate tissue removal.
- Open surgery. This traditional method is used for complex cases involving large cysts or main-duct involvement.

How are we doing?
Prof. Dr. Ebru Ayvazoğlu Soy: more details about the clinic
Prof. Dr. Ebru Ayvazoğlu Soy is a private general surgery practice in Ankara, Turkey. The clinic treats conditions affecting the digestive system, breast, thyroid, and soft tissues. Prof. Dr. Ebru Ayvazoğlu Soy leads the practice and performs all surgeries personally. The facility uses modern perioperative pathways to improve patient safety and recovery speed.
Clinical Expertise and Academic Background
Dr. Soy is a Professor of General Surgery with extensive academic and clinical experience. She has authored nearly 100 articles in internationally indexed journals and received over 500 citations. She trained at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine and completed her residency at Başkent University. Her memberships include:
- International College of Surgeons (ICS)
- The Transplantation Society (TTS)
- Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation
- Turkic World Transplantation Society
- Turkish Surgical Association
Her scientific output includes over 200 papers and chapters in medical textbooks in both Turkish and English.
General Surgery and Proctology
The clinic treats a wide range of abdominal and digestive system diseases. Surgical plans are tailored based on diagnostic tests, clinical condition, and risk level. Specialists use Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols to reduce surgical stress. These include preoperative carbohydrate loading and multimodal analgesia for opioid-free pain control.
Proctology services cover diagnosis and treatment of anal region diseases. Options for hemorrhoid therapy include:
- Classic hemorrhoidectomy
- Stapled techniques
- Laser-based procedures
- Rubber band ligation for early-stage cases
For anal fistula surgery, the choice between tract excision or seton technique depends on sphincter proximity. Laser surgery for fistulas typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Patients who undergo minimally invasive laser treatments often return to daily activities within a few days.
Breast and Endocrine Surgery
The practice manages both benign and malignant breast conditions. For breast abscesses, the clinic uses ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle aspiration as the primary treatment. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. More complex multiloculated abscesses may need surgical drainage to empty multiple cavities.
Endocrine surgery focuses on thyroid disorders and papillary thyroid cancer. Dr. Soy favors modern decision-making, where thyroid lobectomy removes only the affected lobe for low-risk disease. This avoids unnecessary total thyroidectomy and reduces the need for radioactive iodine therapy. Guidelines are followed to avoid routine prophylactic lymph node dissection in low-risk cases.
Advanced Diagnostic and Surgical Methods
The clinic relies on detailed physiological mapping to ensure treatment accuracy. For hiatal hernia and GERD, planning includes endoscopy, manometry, and 24-hour pH monitoring. These tests confirm the diagnosis before any surgery is considered. When surgery is needed, the clinic uses small-incision techniques to reduce recovery time.
The practice is equipped for various diagnostic assessments:
- Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)
- Breast MRI and mammography
- Defecography and anal manometry
- Barium swallow contrast studies
- Endoanal ultrasound
Surgeons perform laparoscopic and robotic procedures for hernias and gallbladder stones. Abdominal hernias, including inguinal and umbilical types, are repaired using both open and closed methods. Most umbilical hernia surgeries are day procedures. Patients are typically discharged a few hours after the operation.
Services for International Patients
Prof. Dr. Ebru Ayvazoğlu Soy treats patients traveling from abroad. She previously served as Director of an International Patient Department. The clinic coordinates care through an online appointment request process. Education materials help patients understand every pre-operative and post-operative step. Dr. Soy consults in five languages, including English, Russian, Arabic, and German. Follow-up care focuses on long-term lifestyle management to prevent recurrence of chronic conditions.
