Clinic Review

Medicana Ataköy Hospital

Medicana Ataköy is a multidisciplinary medical centre that became the 15th hospital of the Turkish Medicana network in 2023. It is located in the Bakırköy district in the European part of Istanbul, combining a convenient location with advanced medical technology.

As a state-of-the-art medical centre, Medicana Ataköy boasts the latest equipment and intelligent implementation of innovative technologies at all stages of visitor care. The hospital’s philosophy is based on three core values – quality medicine, patient safety, and maximum comfort. This medical centre has established itself as a reference centre for diagnosis and treatment in Turkey.

As part of the Medicana network, Ataköy Centre holds international quality certificates from OHSAD, JCI, and SHKS.

The hospital was founded as a multidisciplinary hub of advanced medicine and modern technology, providing the best solutions to a wide range of problems. One of the principal features on which Medicana Ataköy was founded is the distinctive professionalism of the medical staff. Thus, most of the doctors working there are professors and associate professors who are national leaders in their respective fields. In their work, they combine many years of experience with unique innovativeness. And all junior medical staff working with patients undergo long and complex training. That’s why any patient can be 100% sure that they are in safe hands when they come to Medicana Ataköy for treatment.

Attention to detail is evident at all levels of the clinic’s work, starting with the very design of the hospital. It not only allows for all necessary examinations and diagnostic procedures in one facility but also provides patient comfort and convenience at every step. From the choice of colour scheme to interior details and lighting, everything has been carefully considered and implemented to reduce the stress of visitors to the clinic. Special attention is paid to the youngest patients – the paediatric wards and waiting rooms have bright play areas.

The digitalisation strategy followed by the Medicana network greatly simplifies the hospital’s organisational processes. The clinic offers services such as online specialist consultations and second opinions; instant access to medical records, test results, referrals and prescriptions; comprehensive online physiotherapy and rehabilitation programmes, newborn and nursing care; and seamless online payment systems. This saves a tremendous amount of time for both healthcare providers and patients.

Maintaining a hospital’s hygiene and sterility at the perfect level is always an important priority for the hospital, especially in a post-Covid world. Many spaces are equipped with non-contact technologies, the waiting rooms are spacious to avoid crowding, and advanced air purification and circulation systems make a stay at Medicana Ataköy safe even for immunocompromised people.

Equipment available at Medicana Ataköy

  • 3 Tesla MRI. The 3 Tesla line of magnetic tomography scanners is considered to be the most accurate in medicine. The highest quality, detailed and accurate images allow doctors to make correct diagnoses and better plan surgical treatment. MRI is used to examine soft tissue in the fields of oncology, neurology, orthopaedics, and cardiology and can be used in check-ups.
  • Force CT is a CT scanner with motion freezing and 4D imaging functions. As a result, it can improve image quality when diagnosing elderly patients and obese people. The technology is used in the early diagnosis of many diseases, including lung, heart and kidney pathologies.
  • Digital mammography with 3D tomosynthesis. Mammography is the most reliable method for early diagnosis of breast cancer. Among the existing machines for this procedure, the digital mammography with 3D tomosynthesis used at Medicana Ataköy is the most accurate and reliable option. It allows for multiple images from different angles and creates a 3D picture of breast tissue in 1mm slices.
  • 4D breast ultrasound is used to diagnose breast cancer in women with high breast tissue density for whom conventional mammography methods are not effective enough.
  • Digital subtractive angiography (DSA) is used for detailed visualisation of all vessels in the body. This method can use fluoroscopy to identify narrowing, malformations and fistulas in vessels in various areas of the body, including the brain, abdomen, skin, arms and legs.
  • Da Vinci robot - a state-of-the-art device of the latest generation used for robotic surgery in oncology, urology, gynaecology, and cardiovascular surgery. High precision movements and minimal blood loss make such interventions safer and shorten the recovery process compared to open interventions.
  • MRI-guided FUSION biopsy is used to diagnose prostate cancer in patients with elevated PSA levels. The method has a higher accuracy and, if a tumour is detected, allows for more precise planning of subsequent treatment.
  • The HOLEP method is used exclusively for prostate surgery. It is a minimally invasive intervention that uses a holmium laser to remove an enlarged prostate gland. Compared to open surgery, HOLEP has the advantage of low risk of long-term genitourinary complications.
  • The excimer laser is used to perform vision correction. It uses ultraviolet light to correct the anatomical structure of the eye for diagnoses such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. With the excimer laser, treatment can be tailored to each patient’s corneal shape and refraction.
  • Femtolaser. Ophthalmologists at Medicana Ataköy use femtolaser to treat cataracts and perform LASIK surgeries. The technique involves creating an incision in the cornea using a laser beam instead of a blade, which allows less damage to the surrounding tissues while correcting anatomical defects.

The advanced interventional cardiology procedures used at Medicana Ataköy ensure successful and rapid treatment. By avoiding the need for open intervention, this approach results in faster recovery, less discomfort associated with treatment, and a lower risk of complications.

To make a correct diagnosis, patients are prescribed an extensive package of examinations, including both laboratory tests and more narrowly focused instrumental investigations: endoscopy, colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy, ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (used to diagnose biliary tract diseases).

The hospital is often visited by patients with such diagnoses as inflamed bowel syndrome, ulcers, various oncologies, and liver diseases (cirrhosis, hepatitis, cancer). A wide range of methods are used for their treatment, which are individually tailored to each patient to meet the individual needs of their body.

Endocrinology and metabolic diseases

One of the key areas of Medicana Ataköy is the treatment of diseases of the thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas and adrenal glands.

For the treatment of each patient, doctors choose an individual strategy that takes into account the peculiarities of his/her body, the development of the disease, congenital predisposition and lifestyle. Both conservative and more radical treatments, including minimally invasive surgery, are available to help patients.

Bariatrics at Medicana Ataköy

Bariatric surgeries are used to control appetite in patients with severe forms of obesity. Medicana Ataköy's team of highly qualified experienced surgeons offer patients safe and effective weight loss procedures using the latest techniques and technology:

Laparoscopic gastric bypass. In this operation, the surgeon forms a small ‘pouch’ out of stomach tissue designed to accommodate smaller portions of food. It connects to the small intestine to restore digestion, bypassing most of the stomach and duodenum.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. In this method, a significant portion of the stomach is removed, leaving the stomach in a ‘sleeve’ shape. As a result, the amount of food consumed is reduced and the production of ghrelin (‘hunger hormone’) is inhibited.

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. In this operation, the upper part of the stomach is encircled by an adjustable band that limits the amount of food that can enter the organ. Unlike previous interventions, the band can be adjusted and removed.
