Neurological rehabilitation at the clinic of Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır in Ankara, Turkey, provides a structured recovery path for patients following nerve injuries or microsurgery. This specialized care is essential for restoring function after complex procedures, as rehabilitation accounts for 50% of the total treatment success. The program is led by Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır, a specialist with over 20 years of experience who performed Turkey's second face transplant.
Nerve regeneration is a slow process that typically moves at a rate of 1 mm per month. Because of this, full recovery can take anywhere from several months to a full year. The clinic uses a variety of methods to help this process along and restore motor skills. These methods include:
The recovery process follows a clear, step-by-step trajectory. It begins with protection, rest, and edema control to reduce swelling. Once the initial healing starts, the program moves into passive and active movements. As the patient gets stronger, the focus shifts to strengthening exercises and occupational therapy. This structured approach helps patients return to their daily activities safely.
Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır brings high-level expertise to every case, having completed a doctorate in hand surgery and research at the Cleveland Clinic. He is known for a 95%+ success rate in microvascular free flaps. His ability to perform supermicrosurgery on vessels as small as 0.3 mm provides the precise foundation needed for successful nerve repair. Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır is also a member of the American Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery.
Patient compliance and close follow-up with the multidisciplinary team are vital for the best results. You can request a consultation to learn more about a personalized recovery plan through Bookimed.

Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır attained Professor status in 2019. He received Associate Professor status in 2011. His career includes research on composite tissue transplantation at the Cleveland Clinic. This experience shapes his work in face and limb reconstruction.
The practice reports high success rates for microvascular free tissue transfers. These complex procedures maintain a success rate of 95% or higher. Dr. Nasır also performed notable face transplant work in Turkey. This background supports both aesthetic and functional patient goals.
The clinic provides a variety of aesthetic and restorative surgeries:
Specialists use the Simon Classification to stage gynecomastia. This helps determine whether surgical excision or liposuction is needed. Tummy tuck options are personalized based on patient needs. These range from mini-abdominoplasty to extended techniques.
Reconstructive care focuses on tissue loss from trauma, burns, and tumors. The clinic uses a "reconstructive elevator" approach. This method matches surgical options to specific patient needs. Surgeons perform microvascular free tissue transfers for complex defects.
Hand surgery addresses conditions involving nerves, tendons, and bones. Surgeons treat acute fractures and nerve lacerations. They also perform toe-to-hand finger transfers to restore movement and sensation.
Gender-affirming pathways are available for transfeminine and transmasculine patients:
Specialists emphasize medical safety during these transitions. Patients must pause hormone therapy before surgery to reduce blood clot risks. Nurses monitor tissue color and temperature every hour after flap transfers.
The clinic uses several diagnostic tools to plan surgeries. Electromyography (EMG) measures nerve conduction velocity for hand injuries. MRI and CT scans help map tissue structures. For gynecomastia, breast ultrasound or mammograms confirm tissue health.
Treatment technologies include modern energy-based systems. Surgeons use VASER, laser-assisted, and power-assisted liposuction. They also apply radiofrequency tools and ultrasonic-wave devices. These technologies liquefy fat cells while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
Complex wounds are managed with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (VAC). This system reduces edema and increases blood flow to support healing. All microsurgery is performed under operating microscopes.
The clinic treats international patients with a health-tourism-oriented approach. Staff provide medical guidance in English and German. This means clear communication throughout long rehabilitation periods. Postoperative care includes detailed dressing and medication instructions.
Rehabilitation accounts for 50% of total treatment success. The clinic coordinates with therapists for customized splints and physiotherapy. Early mobilization is encouraged to prevent joint stiffness. Surgeons also provide sensory re-education programs for nerve repair patients.
