I will confidently recommend you to my friends and family!
Good afternoon! I would like to leave a review: I would like to express my sincere gratitude to your company for the impeccable organisation of my examination. Every stage was thought out down to the smallest detail, which allowed me to feel completely safe and comfortable.
Special thanks to the doctors — Dr. Bülent and Dr. Kemal. They are top-level specialists whose attention to detail and professionalism command deep respect. I really appreciate the thorough approach they took to my diagnosis.
I would also like to thank the coordinator, Seda, for her sensitivity, and the female translators who accompanied me every step of the way and were a real support. I wish you prosperity, and the doctors further success in their noble work. I will confidently recommend you to my friends and family!

Qualifications
Dr. Atalay's expertise extends to endoscopy, gastroscopy, and colonoscopy. His contributions to medical literature are significant, with 31 articles published in national and international journals. His dedication to his field is also evident in his active participation in professional associations.
The tube ileostomy technique developed by Atalay is based on inserting a tube into the intestine instead of bringing the bowel out through the abdominal wall. This tube remains in place for approximately two weeks and functions similarly to a conventional ostomy by allowing stool to exit through the abdominal wall with comparable effectiveness.
The tube can be removed under outpatient conditions without the need for additional surgery. Its greatest advantage is that it eliminates the need for a separate ostomy-closure operation. Because it is used for a short period, it also helps patients avoid many of the long-term challenges associated with living with a conventional ostomy. From a cost-effectiveness perspective, it offers advantages over traditional ostomies that require a bag and remain in place for extended periods.
Atalay improved the previously unsuccessful tube ileostomy attempts reported in the literature and made the method safe for clinical use. This was achieved by specifying the tube material and incorporating an additional intestinal support mechanism. The technique was introduced into the medical literature by Vafi Atalay (Wafi Ataallah).
Research on this method has been published twice (2020 and 2021) in Colorectal Disease, one of the most respected journals in general surgery. A comparative study with conventional ostomy was also published in Cureus in 2022. Currently, a multicenter collaborative study on the tube ileostomy method is ongoing with New York University.
