About the clinic
Larynx cancer treatment at Prof. Dr. Murat Topdağ ENT Surgery & Medical Aesthetics in Istanbul, Turkey, focuses on advanced head and neck oncology.

The clinic uses function-preserving techniques to help patients keep their voice and swallowing abilities after surgery.
Diagnostic methods for larynx cancer
Accurate staging is the first step in creating a treatment plan. The clinic uses imaging and tissue samples to determine the tumor size and location. Diagnostic options include:
- Physical examination. The doctor checks the neck and throat for abnormalities.
- Laryngoscopy. This procedure uses a thin tube to view the larynx directly.
- Biopsy. Tissue samples are taken via fine needle aspiration, excisional, or incisional methods.
- Imaging scans. These include neck ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, and PET scans to check for cancer spread.
Treatment and surgical options
The clinic provides a full range of therapies, from organ-preserving surgeries to advanced medical oncology. Prof. Dr. Murat Topdağ performs these procedures at Memorial Göztepe Hospital, a facility equipped for complex head and neck cases.
- Partial laryngectomy. This surgery removes only the diseased part of the larynx. It aims to preserve the natural voice and normal breathing.
- Total laryngectomy. The surgeon removes the entire larynx during a 3-6 hour operation. This requires general anesthesia and a hospital stay of 1-2 weeks. It involves a permanent tracheostomy for breathing.
- Radiotherapy. Patients receive daily high-energy ray treatments as outpatients to destroy cancer cells.
- Chemotherapy. This systemic drug therapy often works alongside radiotherapy to preserve the vocal organs.
- Immunotherapy and targeted therapy. These modern biologic treatments stimulate the immune system or target specific mutations in the cancer cells.
Prof. Dr. Murat Topdağ previously served at Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital and brings extensive expertise to every case. The clinic assists international patients with travel and accommodation needs to ensure a smooth medical journey.

Prof. Dr. Murat Topdağ ENT Surgery & Medical Aesthetics (KBB): more details about the clinic
Specialized Medical Background
Prof. Dr. Murat Topdağ graduated from Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine's English department. He completed his otolaryngology residency at Kocaeli University. His career includes positions at Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital and Memorial Göztepe Hospital.
The practice has a strong academic foundation. Prof. Dr. Topdağ has authored over 30 international SCI articles. His research appears in Otology & Neurotology and the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery. This academic focus supports function-preserving surgical planning for complex cases.
Advanced Rhinoplasty Techniques
The clinic offers several surgical and non-surgical options for nasal correction. Surgeons perform structural, preservation, and ethnic rhinoplasty. They also handle revision procedures for patients with prior unsuccessful surgeries. Non-surgical options include hyaluronic acid fillers and Botox for subtle changes.
Specialists use Piezo ultrasonic technology for precise bone shaping. This method relies on ultrasonic waves to cut bone tissue. Because it spares surrounding vessels and nerves, patients experience less swelling and trauma. Many patients return home the same day.
Surgical planning involves 3D computer simulations. Patients can see potential post-operative results during consultation. For closed rhinoplasty, surgeons make incisions only inside the nostrils. This prevents visible scarring and speeds up healing.
Head and Neck Oncology
The clinic treats various malignant conditions of the head and neck. Specialists manage cancers affecting these areas:
- Tongue and oral cavity
- Larynx (voice box)
- Thyroid and salivary glands
- Paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity
- Ear and inner ear tumors
Treatment plans match tumor stage and patient health. Options include surgical excision, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. For advanced tongue cancer, the clinic offers immunotherapy to boost the immune response. Thyroid cancer care follows a multidisciplinary approach with ENT and endocrinology specialists.
Otolaryngology and Rehabilitation Services
Beyond surgery, the practice addresses chronic ENT conditions and balance disorders. The team manages deviated septums, nasal polyps, and chronic sinusitis. Functional surgeries like endoscopic septoplasty correct internal deviations to improve breathing. Recovery typically requires nasal splints for about one week.
Patients with peripheral vertigo receive specialized balance recovery services. The clinic provides vestibular rehabilitation for conditions like BPPV and vestibular neuritis. This program combines symptom relief with long-term exercises to restore stable movement.
Diagnostics and Technology
The clinic uses diverse imaging and diagnostic tools for accurate treatment planning:
- CT and MRI scans
- PET/CT imaging
- Laryngoscopy for throat examinations
- Thyroid ultrasound and biopsies
- Nasal endoscopy and audiometry
Physicians review these results to determine if surgery or non-invasive management is needed. Before any procedure, patients undergo a full health evaluation covering allergies and surgical history.
Services for International Patients
The clinic provides medical services in English for international visitors. Medical reports and educational materials are available in English. The team offers accommodation support for out-of-town patients. Most surgical patients receive home-care instructions and follow-up schedules before discharge.
