Acıbadem Ankara Multidisciplinary Hospital opened in 2012. The clinic has state-of-the-art equipment and cooperates with health insurance companies to guarantee patients’ safe treatment. Acıbadem Ankara Medical Center is located on 11,000 m2 of closed area. It has 103 beds in multi-speciality rooms, four operating theatres and a neonatal intensive care unit. The medical departments of Ankara Acibadem Hospital include:
The Acibadem clinics are technology-intensive and are committed to constant upgrading of equipment. Here, patients are provided with exceptional conditions for the successful treatment of all kinds of illnesses. Innovative technologies at the Acibadem Ankara Clinic include:
One of the newer Whole Body MR imaging technologies is used to detect tumours at an early stage. The duration of the procedure is 40-45 minutes. The machine is made so that it can scan the whole body in one session using special software. This method aims to detect tumours at an early stage in many parts of the body, including the brain and neck. Whole body MRI scans can be used as an additional diagnostic tool in people who are at high risk of developing cancer or undergoing routine check-ups.
Flash CT is a radiological diagnostic device that is most commonly used for heart and lung examinations. It scans the organs in 0.25 seconds and has a low level of radiation exposure. In the case of lung X-rays, it is not even necessary to hold your breath. If sensitive organs such as the thyroid gland are to be examined, the doctor can do so with a reduced dose of radiation. Its diameter makes it possible to have a CT scan even if you are afraid of confined spaces.
Doctors use this machine to visualise vessels that are located all over the body. As a result of the examination, the specialist receives an image with detailed detail, which helps them make an accurate diagnosis. The examination is carried out with the help of a contrast agent that the doctor injects into the patient’s vein. The radiation dose is kept to a minimum. Thanks to DSA, even the thinnest veins are visible during the examination.
With this method, doctors get a large three-dimensional image of the breast tissue in sections of up to 1 mm. Compared to other mammography devices, the radiation dose on this machine is 30% lower. The examination is not carried out through a single image, but through many digital images in the form of thin layers. In this way, the doctor checks problem areas in breast cancer in more detail.
The system is used for early diagnosis of prostate cancer. In patients with suspected prostate cancer, an MRI scan is first performed. The doctor then marks the suspicious areas on the scans. This is followed by an ultrasound scan, which is combined with the MRI findings. This produces a detailed 3-dimensional image. During the biopsy, the system serves as a kind of navigational aid for taking the prostate tissue more precisely.
With the da Vinci robotic surgery system, the surgeon performs the operation while sitting at a special console. The intervention is carried out through small incisions, similar to laparoscopic surgery. Robotic surgery is used in many medical fields, such as urology. Surgeons often prefer the da Vinci robot for a radical prostatectomy. It is also used in gynaecology, bariatrics and thyroid surgery.
The hospital offers a preventive body check-up, which doctors select based on the needs of the patient. When choosing a package, specialists are guided by the patient’s age, gender and lifestyle, and also take into account their medical history. A check-up is not just an analysis, but an examination that helps to assess the full extent of a person’s health. Based on the results of such check-up, information is provided on the measures that the patient should take to eliminate the disease or reduce the risks of its development. All laboratory services within the scope of the check-up are carried out in accordance with TS EN ISO 15189 standards. The diagnostic programmes at Acibadem Ankara include these options:
Once patients have undergone a check-up programme, all of their results are saved. During subsequent check-ups, it is possible to compare the data from the previous check-up and trace the development of the disease.
Acıbadem Ankara’s neurosurgery and neurology departments diagnose and treat cerebrovascular diseases, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Patients with neuromuscular diseases and peripheral nervous system syndromes are also treated here.
In addition to EEG and EMG examinations, the Acibadem Ankara Clinic performs intraoperative monitoring during operations on the brain and spinal cord. The purpose of this procedure is to protect the function of the brain, cranial nerves and peripheral nerves.
This is important because if the brain or spinal cord is damaged, the person may lose the ability to move, feel, hear or speak. And neuromonitoring during surgery is exactly what helps prevent possible damage.
The principle is as follows: during surgery, the intraoperative neuromonitoring team assesses nerve tissue function. If they detect the possibility of damage, they inform the neurosurgeon at an early stage of the intervention. With this information the doctor can change the surgical strategy and avoid damage to the patient’s nerve tissue.
In the neurosurgery department, brain biopsies, paediatric neurological diseases and spinal surgery are performed.
In addition, neurosurgeons work in cooperation with neuroradiologists, anaesthetists and psychiatrists. This allows for a more comprehensive approach to treatment. Instruments such as PET-CT, Cyberknife and Gamma Knife are used here to diagnose and treat brain tumours.
The cardiology department at Acibadem Ankara treats all types of heart diseases, including heart rhythm disorders, valve abnormalities and hypercholesterolemia. A patient database is maintained at the Acibadem Cardiology Department and surgical quality assurance studies are performed. Investigations and interventions performed here include:
Breast diseases, especially breast cancer, are one of the health problems that are becoming increasingly common in society. Acıbadem Ankara offers state-of-the-art breast cancer diagnosis and treatment services that focus on patient safety. They also provide psychological support to help patients get through the treatment process more easily.
The clinic has many devices that are essential in the diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases. These include a 3D digital mammography device, 4-D ultrasound, biopsy equipment, PET-CT units, Cyberknife, 1 Varian Trilogy and 1 Varian DHX RapidArc linear accelerators.
Diagnosing and treating breast cancer requires the involvement of doctors with different specialisations. This approach is needed to share views and make decisions together. At the breast cancer centre, the patient is examined by doctors from oncology, general and plastic surgery, radiology, pathology and genetics. In addition, nutritional counselling, psychosocial support, physiotherapy and rehabilitation are part of the treatment process. At Acibadem, the surgeons try, if possible, to preserve the patient’s breasts, or restore the natural look of the breasts through plastic surgery.
Acibadem Ankara has a specialised intensive care unit that is divided into units:
It has everything you need to respond quickly and keep you sane in an emergency, such as an artificial respirator and haemodialysis system.
In the Urology Department, doctors carry out examinations and operations such as:
The clinic also conducts intensive research into new methods of screening for prostate cancer and treatments for prostate infections. Nerve-preserving radical prostatectomies and cystectomies are also frequently performed in the urology department. In addition to treating male urological diseases, paediatric urology and female urology are available here. paediatric urology focuses on the treatment of congenital or acquired diseases of the urinary tract. For instance, hydrocele, testicular neoplasia, circumcision and hypospadias. Female urology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of urinary incontinence (stress and compression incontinence) and interstitial cystitis.
