Prof. Dr. Ismet Aslan, Ear, Nose, Throat specialist from the high-tech Liv Hospital in Turkey, will consult patients in Sofia for free on October 13. Prof. Aslan will also be available for consultations at the hospital. Aslan is a highly acclaimed physician in Turkey and the U.S., and recently made a name for himself as the doctor who built a new language for a cancer patient from Bulgaria. He will be visiting the country at the invitation of the Health Information Center "Medical Karaj", as part of their initiative to provide Bulgarian patients with access to the latest advances in medicine by partnering with some of the best medical institutions and specialists from around the world.
Recently, Prof. Dr. Ismet Aslan helped a 35-year-old patient from Bulgaria with the insidious disease of tongue cancer. The young man noticed a change in his tongue, but doctors assured him it was nothing serious. After a while, however, he became doubtful and went to Istanbul, where it turned out to be a cancerous growth. With tongue cancer, the only option is surgery. Because of the disease, about 80% had to be removed from the patient's tongue, and it was subsequently reconstructed using muscle tissue taken from his arm. This way the man will be able to eat and speak as before.
Prof. Dr. Ismet Aslan graduated in medicine in Istanbul in 1991 and after successfully completing his specialty in Otolaryngology in 1996 he went to the USA. There he worked successively at prestigious institutions such as Harvard Medical School in Boston and Vanderbilt University in Nashville. In 2000, he returned to his home country with the experience and skills he had acquired, and became one of the most sought-after specialists for head and neck surgery. In 2002, he earned the scientific rank of associate professor, and in 2007, professor. He currently practices at Liv Hospital, where the high-tech equipment available allows him to work at the highest level in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of specialists. The ENT department at Liv Hospital provides a full range of services for children and adults for diseases of the middle ear, eardrum, nose, throat and facial nerves. Complex conditions such as oral, salivary gland and thyroid cancers are also treated. Modern endoscopic, laser and robotic methods are used.
