Fistula Laser Surgery in Prof. Dr. Ebru Ayvazoğlu Soy
About the clinic
Anal fistula laser surgery at the clinic of Prof. Dr. Ebru Ayvazoğlu Soy in Ankara, Turkey, provides a modern, sutureless solution for this sensitive condition. This procedure uses laser energy to close the fistula tract from the inside, causing minimal tissue damage. The treatment is led by Prof. Dr. Ebru Ayvazoğlu Soy, a surgeon with over 10 years of experience in proctology and general surgery.
Treatment Method and Benefits
The clinic uses laser ablation to treat anal fistulas. This method avoids traditional cutting and stitches. A thin laser fiber enters the fistula tract and applies heat to seal it shut. This approach protects the sphincter muscles, which helps maintain bowel control. The surgery typically lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. Because the procedure is sutureless, patients experience less pain than with open surgery. The method also carries a low risk of the condition returning.
Recovery and Aftercare
Patients follow the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. These medical guidelines help the body heal faster after the procedure. Most people return to their normal daily activities within a few days. Complete healing of the area usually takes between 4 and 6 weeks. After the surgery, the medical team provides specific care instructions to support recovery:
- Regular dressing changes to keep the area clean
- Warm sitz baths to soothe the tissue and promote blood flow
- A diet high in fiber to prevent constipation
- Increased fluid intake to help with digestion

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.

She trained at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine and completed her residency at Başkent University. Her memberships include:

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.
