Pulmonolgy

Our Chest Diseases department provides service with its expert doctor staff and advanced technological equipment in all health problems related to the respiratory system. In our department, which has an experienced physician staff especially in the field of bronchoscopy and interventional bronchoscopy, in the interventional bronchoscopy unit, many relaxing and therapeutic methods can be applied, such as relieving the stenosis in the trachea with a stent, closing the fistulas in the airways, treating benign tumors in the airway with electrocautery and argon plasma. In addition to the classical respiratory function test in the Respiratory Function Laboratory located within our department; CO Diffusion Test (DLCO) measurements, which are available in a very small number of centers on the Anatolian side, can also be performed.

In advanced stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, endobronchial volume reduction techniques (bronchoscopic endobronchial valve technique), which have been developed in recent years and have achieved successful results, are closely followed and successfully applied by our experienced doctors working in our department.

Allergens that cause respiratory allergic diseases (allergic asthma, allergic bronchitis and allergic rhinitis) are detected quickly and accurately by tests applied to the skin (skin prick test).

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is diagnosed and treated with the sleep test (polysomnography) performed in the Sleep Laboratory. Sleep test results are analyzed with a multidisciplinary approach together with the departments of Chest Diseases, Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases, and Neurology, and the necessary treatment plan is prepared.
