"I especially want to note that everything that was done at the highest level is mainly the merit of an employee named Zakhida
On the recommendation of Bookimed, I underwent a medical examination at the Anadolu Medical Center (Turkey). Why did you choose the Anadolu clinic? Because it was the only clinic recommended to me by Bookimed that responded very quickly to my requests, and only this clinic developed and sent me a program for my examination. Two other clinics, such as Medipol, limited themselves only to gratitude that I contacted them, and the Şişli Memorial clinic remained silent until the end without any feedback. I will not dwell on the provision of the Anadolu clinic with the most modern medical equipment, since many Turkish clinics today are equipped with the most modern equipment. I personally became convinced of this at the stage of choosing a clinic, when I got acquainted with the equipment of many clinics. The qualifications of Turkish medical specialists are generally high and they are really professionals in their field. But there is one very important point - the ability to plan and organize medical examinations. For a patient who comes to such institutions with great hopes, any attention or inattention rendered affects his psychological and moral state, and it naturally depends on this what attitude he will determine and form for himself towards the clinic itself. To be in constant contact with the patient from the moment of his desire to visit the clinic, prepare in every possible way for arrival, prepare medical data and analysis results, assist in booking a hotel, meeting at the airport upon arrival, exceptionally efficient planning of all examinations, eliminating any inconvenience for the patient from - for waiting in queues for tests, undergoing procedures and consulting a doctor and much more, this is a huge advantage of the Anadolu clinic over other clinics. I especially want to note that everything that was done at the highest level is mainly the merit of an employee named Zakhida. (international department of the clinic). Professionalism, an individual approach to each patient, impeccable organization of the entire work process, endless energy, high tolerance, femininity, pleasant appearance and many other positive qualities of a person - said about Zakhida. Zahida, please accept my deep gratitude and wish you all the best. Always remain the same joyful, radiant, beautiful and feminine! I also want to thank other employees of the Anadolu clinic, doctors, nurses, translators - thanks to your conscientious work and your high professionalism, I received a quality medical service. . I thank the Bookimed employees (Vladimir, Varvara) for your attention and for the excellent organization of the survey. All the best to you and your loved ones! With great respect, Uktam Eshmuradov (Uzbekistan).

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.
