Specialization and Surgical Approach
The surgeon performs minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery for stomach, colon, rectal, and pancreatic cancers. This approach often reduces recovery time and post-operative pain for patients. Additionally, Dr. Gökçe performs oncoplastic breast surgery, which combines tumor removal with aesthetic reconstruction. This method treats breast cancer while maintaining the natural appearance of the breast.
