Medipol, Preference of International Doctors

Ousman Tabit Abdoulaye, who got worse due to malaria, which is common in Africa, was given medicine and sent to his home in the hospital where he was hospitalized. However, when he woke up the next day and realized that he could not move his right arm and right leg and could not speak, 47-year-old Abdoulaye applied to Medipol upon the recommendation of his acquaintance living in Turkey.

It was understood that Abdoulaye, who was treated by our neurology and physical therapy and rehabilitation department doctors with a multidisciplinary approach, had a blockage in the veins of his brain that manage the right arm and leg due to malaria, and it was determined that paralysis occurred due to this. Abdoulaye started walking again within a month with the support of exercise and a walking robot in addition to the medication treatment that was started. Assoc.

What are Head and Neck Cancers?

Head and neck cancers constitute approximately 10% of all body cancers. Head and neck cancers include: oral cavity, lips, inner cheeks, gums, palate, tongue, floor of the mouth, nose, nasal cavity, sinus cancers in facial bone; pharynx, auricle and external auditory canal cancers, entrance of the esophagus and also salivary gland cancers, especially the larynx. Head and neck cancers are among the cancer types that are easy to diagnose early and therefore have a high treatment success rate. The effect of smoking in Head and Neck cancers is high as in all body cancers. Among the risks that increase the cancers of this region, apart from exposure to cigarettes and tobacco products, alcohol and HPV virus, poor oral hygiene and malnutrition are in the first place. Moreover, factors related to radiation therapy and nutrition have also been shown to be effective in the manifestation of the disease. Exposure to sunlight has an important place among the factors that cause lip and skin cancers.

Laryngeal, lip and tongue cancers are the most common ones in Turkey. Head and neck cancers are seen approximately 5 times more in men than in women. They are more common in older ages. The vast majority of head and neck cancers show symptoms in the early stages. Early recognition of symptoms and evaluation of the patient by an ENT and Head and Neck Surgeon are the most important factors that increase the chance of success in treatment. It should be noted that appropriate treatment is only possible with early diagnosis.

What are the Complaints of Patients with Head and Neck Cancer?

• Palpable swelling in the head and neck region
• Non-healing wounds on the lips, tongue, inner mouth and crusting that does not go away
• Hoarseness, deterioration of sound quality
• Difficulty swallowing, difficulty chewing, feeling of being stuck in the throat
• Numbness in the mouth
• Dental prosthesis does not fit as well as before
• Nasal congestion, nasal bleeding
• Ear pain, unilateral low level of hearing, hearing loss
• Fascial paralysis
• Difficulty in breathing
• Bloody salivary
• Skin discoloration in the head and neck region, painless growing wounds
• Non-volitional weight loss
Most of these complaints, which we have described above, can be found in the person without cancer. It is possible to make the distinction only with the examination of an ENT and head and neck surgeon.

How is A Diagnosis Made in Head and Neck Cancers?

The patient must first be examined by an ENT and Head and Neck Surgery Specialist. Detailed examination of the intraoral, nasal cavity, ear, neck and salivary glands should be performed using an endoscope. Today, thanks to the endoscopic examination, we have the chance to see all the diseased areas, making early diagnosis very easy. Then, if any, a piece of suspicious tissue is taken by biopsy and sent to Pathology for evaluation. Radiologically, imaging possibilities such as Ultrasonography (USG), Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance (MR) and PET can be used.

How is the Treatment of Head and Neck Cancers Planned?

Each patient's treatment is different. Multiple factors such as the location of the disease, the stage of the disease, the age of the patient and other health problems are effective in the treatment planning.
Treatment of head and neck cancers requires a multidisciplinary approach. Patients diagnosed with cancer should be evaluated in the tumor council. Specialists who should be in the Tumor Council of Head and Neck Cancers:

• ENT and Head-Neck Surgery Specialist
• Radiation Oncology specialist
• Medical Oncology Specialist
• Radiologist and
• Pathology Specialist, they should be there.
Depending on the patient's condition, physicians of different specialties may also be invited. The treatment plan is different for each patient. As we mentioned before; Depending on the location of the tumor, the stage of the cancer, the age and socioeconomic status of the patient, treatment and planning should be made. While a single treatment option may be sufficient for early-stage patients, combined treatments may be appropriate for some patients. Treatment consists of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy options. Double and triple combinations of these can be made. The primary treatment for many head and neck cancers is surgery. The treatment plan should be determined by the head and neck oncology council.

What is Joint Calcification? In Which Situations Is Hip Replacement Applied?
Ashtar Kulayev, who had difficulty in walking due to arthritis in hip, returned to his country after a successful hip replacement operation in Medipol.

What is Calcification (Osteoarthritis)?
Calcification is the wearing away of weight-bearing cartilages.

What are the Causes of Hip Calcification?
Calcification of the hip may occur due to the anatomical structure of the hip or trauma. Hip dislocation can also be shown as a factor.

What are the Symptoms of Hip Calcification?
Pain occurs due to bone friction caused by the wear of the cartilage. Pain and limitation of movement increase. Climbing up and down stairs, walking and squatting are painful and restrict patients' range of motion. Even at rest, the quality of life due to pain decreases drastically in the later stages.

In Which Situations Is Hip Replacement Performed?
Painkillers, intra-articular injections, physical therapy and injection applications are tried as remedy in the early stages of the disease. If the wear on the hip joint is severe, total hip replacement is the most appropriate surgical option. Hip replacement is a very successful surgery that gives the patient a painless and mobile joint.

Is it Possible to Eliminate Shortness and Restriction of Movement with Hip Replacement?
It is possible to correct shortness up to 3-4 centimeters during surgery. The limitation of movement can also be corrected in surgery. It is important in post-operative rehabilitation.

How Many Days Of Hospital Stay Is Required Hip Replacement Surgery?
Usually one or two days of stay is sufficient.

When The Patient Is Allowed To Walk After Surgery?
Patient is allowed to walk, usually on the same day.

How Long hip Prostheses last?

Hair Transplantation in Hospital Conditions is Important for the Best Result with the Lowest Risk

A hair analysis is performed together with the examination of the person who is considering hair transplantation. In addition, various tests are used to determine whether the hair loss is permanent or due to a disease. As a result of the analysis and tests, our experts decide whether the person is suitable for hair transplantation.

What Should Be Considered Before Hair Transplantation?
One week before the hair transplantation procedure begins, medication and substances that increase the risk of bleeding should be avoided. Smoking should be reduced as much as possible before the operation.

How Long Does The Hair Transplantation Procedure Take?
This process varies according to the number of grafts (hair follicles) to be transplanted to the designated area and the duration of the planned session. The estimated duration is between 4 and 8 hours.

Does Hair Transplantation Cause The Loss of Existing Hair?
This is not a common situation. Even if the hair body and follicles are unintentionally damaged during the hair transplantation process, the hair grows back.

Is Hair Transplantation a Painful Procedure?
Hair transplantation is done under local anesthesia, so the patient will only feel the anesthesia procedure while it’s applied. No pain is felt during the operation since the area will be numb. The pain that can occur after the procedure is taken under control by the painkillers prescribed by the physician.

When and How Does The Transplanted Hair Grow?
Approximately 15-20 days after the hair transplantation, the transplanted hair falls out. But this should not concern you. First hair starts to grow after 3-4 months after the procedure. Within the first year of the operation, the transplanted hair fully grows. In time, the hair will thicken and take shape according to its form.
