<description>My name is Javon Carter and I am an American working at an international school in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

<title>Anja,Germany </title> 
<description>Your personnel took very good care of me. The nurses came very often in my room to look after the infusions and to give pain reliever if necessary. The treatment was good as well. The Doctors came after and asked how I was. Also the cooperation with your administrative staff like Cigdem was very good. She was there almost every day to ask if she can do something. The treatment was pretty fast and also the room was good. There was enough comfort. I would recommend your hospital to other people so far. I can not say anything about the future and how fast the curing process will go. So far I am quite satisfied. If the healing process will also go fast and well I am pretty sure I would do it again.</description>

<title>Coronary Artery Bypass Graft</title> 
<description>The nutrient vessels of the heart encircles the heart in a crown-like fashion, thus they are called the &amp;ldquo;coronary&amp;rdquo; arteries referring to the Latin word &amp;ldquo;corona&amp;rdquo;. This blood flow in these vessels is blocked in case of atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries. Beyond a specific degree of vessel obstruction, there is the risk of myocardial infarction and death. CABG operation is a well known procedure to decrease the odds of death and any major cardiac adverse events and to prolong life.&amp;nbsp;</description>

<title>Heart Valve  Replacement</title> 
<description>Heart valve operations are also performed via an incision done in the midline of the sternum (breastbone). Heart valve operations are performed to repair or replace the diseased valve(s) of the heart. The surgery is performed with general anesthesia. The operation generally lasts three to five hours depending on the extent of valvular damage and the number of valves to be operated. As the heart is stopped, the blood circulation is provided by the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) machine which also helps to oxygenate the blood.</description>

<title>Bulging Discs</title> 
<description>Bulging discs&amp;nbsp;are not uncommon, and frequently are displayed on MRIs as an abnormality for both young and older adults. Having a bulging disc is not necessarily a serious concern, and it may not even cause back pain. Bulging most likely happens as the body ages and degeneration of the intervertebral disc occurs. A bulging disc is formed when the soft, spongy center of the disc, the nucleus pulposus, pushes out and places pressure on the outer surrounding fibrous ligament, the annulus fibrosis that contains the center.</description>

<title>Herniated Disc </title> 
<description>A herniated disc&amp;nbsp;is a condition in which part, or all, of the soft, gelatinous central portion of an intervertebral disc (the nucleus pulposus) is forced through a weakened part of the disc. This results in back pain and leg pain (lumbar herniation) or neck pain and arm pain (cervical herniation) due to nerve root irritation.&amp;nbsp;</description>

<title>Spinal Stenosis </title> 
<description>Spinal stenosis&amp;nbsp;is a narrowing of the spinal canal, which places pressure on the spinal cord. If the stenosis is located on the lower part of the spinal cord it is called lumbar spinal stenosis. Stenosis in the upper part of the spinal cord is called cervical spinal stenosis. While spinal stenosis can be found in any part of the spine, the lumbar and cervical areas are the most commonly affected.</description>

<title>Degenerative Disc Disease </title> 
<description>Degenerative Disc Disease&amp;nbsp;refers to a syndrome in which a painful disc causes chronic pain. The condition generally starts in the disc space. A weakened intervertebral disc can create excessive motion in the adjoining vertebral level because the disc cannot hold the vertebral segment together as well as it used to.</description>

<title>Pinched Nerve </title> 
<description>&amp;ldquo;Pinched nerve&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;is a general term that is used to describe injuries to nerves or groups of nerves. Since nerves that run between the bony structures of the spine are most susceptible to &amp;ldquo;pinching&amp;rdquo; the term is most often used to describe compression of the spinal nerve roots.&amp;nbsp;</description>

<title>Radiculitis</title> 
<description>Radiculitis&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;Radicular Pain, is transferred pain &quot;radiated&quot; along the path of a nerve due to pressure on the nerve root at its connection to the spinal column. A common form of radiculitis issciatica, or radicular pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve from the lower spine to the lower back, gluteal muscles, back of the upper thigh, calf, and foot as often caused by nerve root compression from a lumbar disc herniation or bone spurs in the lumbar region of the spine.</description>

<item> 
<title>Radiculopathy</title> 
<description>Referred pain into the upper or lower extremities often accompanies back or neck pain. Referred pain can be the initial symptom of a compressed nerve root by a ruptured disc or neural foraminal stenosis from osteophytes. Radicular pain is usually described as sharp or even shock-like, and may be associated with certain activities or positions. The distribution of the pain may not always be classic, and often doesn&amp;rsquo;t respect dermatomal distributions.</description>

<item> 
<title>Sciatica</title> 
<description>Sciatic Pain results from the inflammation of the sciatic nerve and is usually marked by pain and tenderness along the course of the nerve on through to the thigh and leg. Sciatic pain usually starts in the buttocks and extends down the rear of the thigh and lower leg to the sole of the foot and along the outer side of the lower leg to the top of the foot. Pain may also be present in the lower back.&amp;nbsp;Several nerve roots leave the spinal cord and exit through holes in the sacrum to combine and form the sciatic nerve, which then passes between layers of the buttock muscles into the deep muscles of the back of the thigh.&amp;nbsp;A primary cause of sciatica is a herniated or bulging lower lumbar intervertebral disc that compresses one of the nerve roots before it joins the sciatic nerve. Sometimes, irritation of a branch of the sciatic nerve in the leg can be so severe as to set up a reflex pain reaction involving the entire length of the nerve. For example, if the nerve is pinched or irritated near the knee, you may feel the pain in the hip and buttock.</description>

<item> 
<title>Spondylosis</title> 
<description>The gradual deterioration of the disc between the vertebrae is also referred to as Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD). As people age, the composition of the cartilage of the body changes, resulting in thinner and more fragile cartilage. These changes cause the intervertebral discs and the joints that stack the vertebrae (also known as facet joints) to wear over time. This degeneration of the disc is also referred to as spondylosis. Spondylosis can be seen on MRI scans of the spine as a narrowing of the normal disc space between adjacent vertebraeAny level of the spine can be affected. Degeneration of the disc can cause local pain in the affected area.</description>

<item> 
<title>Spondylolisthesis</title> 
<description>Spondylolisthesis&amp;nbsp;describes a condition of forward slippage of one vertebrae in the spine over another. This condition in adults is most commonly due to degeneration (wear and tear) of the discs and ligaments that bind and support the spine. With aging, discs lose water content and ultimately height. As the vertebra on either side of the disc come closer to each other through the loss of disc height, the upper vertebra slides forward on the sub adjacent vertebra producing spondylolisthesis.&amp;nbsp;</description>

<title>Bone Spurs </title> 
<description>Bone spurs, also known as osteophytes, are bony projections that form along joints and are often seen in conditions such as arthritis. The bone spurs themselves aren\'t painful, but they can rub against nearby nerves and cause pain.&amp;nbsp;Bone spurs are largely responsible for limitations in joint motion. The reason for bone spur formation is the body&amp;rsquo;s attempt to increase the surface area of a joint to better distribute weight across a joint surface that has been damaged by arthritis or other conditions. Unfortunately, this is largely wasted effort by our body as the bone spur can become restrictive and painful.&amp;nbsp;Bone spurs are a signal of an underlying problem that often needs to be addressed. It isn\'t clear what causes bone spurs, but doctors believe they occur in reaction to changes in your joints due to diseases and aging &amp;mdash; most commonly osteoarthritis.</description>

<title>Whiplash</title> 
<description>This is an imprecise term for injury to the cervical vertebrae and adjacent soft tissues. It is produced by a sudden jerking or relative backward or forward acceleration of the head with respect to the vertebral column. People in a vehicle that is suddenly and forcibly struck from the rear may sustain \&quot;whiplash\&quot; injuries.</description>

<title>Blepharoplasty</title> 
<description>There might be flabbiness on upper and lower eye lids and puffiness particularly on lower eye lids as a result of ageing and gravity. Besides causing disorder in appearance, eye-sight can also be hindered via closure of eye with upper eye lids. With an aesthetic eyelid surgery, excessive skin and ruptured adipose tissue are eliminated from the skin, therefore a good appearance is obtained and the person is enabled to see comfortably. There remains a scar along lid on the upper eye lid. However this mark can only be seen if looked very closely as it will fit on the lid twist. Whereas on the lower lid, there remains a scar just below the eyelashes. On the continuing side of the mark, there is a normal skin line.&amp;nbsp;</description>

<title>Breast Reduction Surgery</title> 
<description>Though aesthetic breast reduction surgery seems to be a cosmetic surgery made to ameliorate outer appearance of a woman, it is a surgery that has functional benefits. Large breasts may cause shoulder and neck pain, lead to being hunchbacked in women. There might be numbness on arms in connection with pressure of brassiere slings on arm nerves.

If the plaque gets big enough, it prevents blood flow and&amp;nbsp;tissue &amp;nbsp;ischemia occurs.&amp;nbsp;Should the incident occurs in&amp;nbsp;the coronary(heart)&amp;nbsp;artery, it will lead to myocardial ischemia and sometimes myocardial necrosis. &amp;nbsp;Coronary angioplasty&amp;nbsp;is a procedure used to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. The procedure improves blood flow to the heart muscle and relives myocardial ischemia.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;In the procedure of angioplasty a small baloon inflated in blocked or narrowed artery region and usually the procedure is finished with implantation of a stent which is a mesh-like tube, often made of metal .</description>

<title>Gastric By-pass</title> 
<description>Laparoscopic Gastric By-Pass (R-YGB) surgery is the most frequently applied combined operation. The starting portion of the stomach is separated from the rest as to leave 30-50 cc. A part of the small intestines is by passed and connected to the newly formed small gastric pouch. Thus, the patients feel full faster with quite smaller meals. At the same time, the absorption of an important part of the high calorie nutrition is prevented.</description>

<title>Laparoscopic Billiopancreatic Diversion (Lap-BPD) </title> 
<description>It is the operation with highest metabolic control among the surgical treatment options for morbid obesity. Systemic diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus (Type II DM), hyperlipidemia, hypertrigliceridemia, hypertension etc. frequently co-exist particularly in super obese patients with BMI&amp;gt;50. The tendencies of the patients to more severe heart and kidney diseases, due to such accompanying diseases, increase. The sufficient metabolic control of these patients cannot be reached only with methods that restrict the stomach volume and regaining of weight can be more than expected.&amp;nbsp;</description>

<title>Laparoscopic Gastric Banding</title> 
<description>LAGB-Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band operation is the most frequent technique applied for obesity. This technique is applied without changing anatomic structure or without cutting any intra-abdominal organ. A pocket of 30-50 cc is formed in the entrance of the stomach by fully wrapping the starting part of the stomach. After this operation, the stomach is made a sandglass consisting of a smaller upper part, larger lower part and adjustable middle channel.</description>

<title>Laparoscopic Mini Gastric By-Pass </title> 
<description>Laparoscopic Mini Gastric By Pass (L-MGB) surgery is a type of the combined operations with dominant volume restriction and controlled absorption reducing features. The starting part of the stomach is made a tube as to leave about 100 cc just like the LSG-Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy. This tube is separated from the first part of the small intestine, which is duodenum. Thus, a duodenal by pass is obtained which is the main target of absorption reduction. The newly formed tube is opened as an entrance at about 200 cm space from the beginning of the small intestines. Thus, the patients feel full satiety with quite smaller meals. At the same time, the absorption of an important part of the high calorie food is prevented.</description>

<title>Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy</title> 
<description>LSG-Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery has started to be applied for the first time in USA as the first step of the surgical treatment for super-super obese patients. It is started to be preferred as direct permanent treatment since the high satisfaction of super-super obese (BMI&amp;gt;60) patients has been obtained. It depends on the principle, without changing any structure of the digestive system physiology, excising about 80% of the widened stomach and reducing the volume accordingly. The stomach is made a thin tube with&amp;nbsp; LSG-Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy operation and reduced to the diameter of intestine in average.</description>

<title>Gastric Bypass Surgery Package</title> 
<description>An important option, for patients that&amp;nbsp; diet and exercise are insufficient, is the Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass (R-YGB) surgery. In the first step, volume of the stomach is reduced to a volume of about 30-50 cc to ensure the feeling of fullness with smaller portions. In the second step, early contact of a portion of the small intestines is eliminated and absorption is partially reduced to ensure the excretion of the high-calorie foods taken in by the patients.</description>

<title>Mitral Valve Repair at Memorial Hizmet Hospital</title> 
<description>In general, mitral valve disease arises as related to several causes. Treatment is either replacement or repair of the valve. However, the mitral insufficiency resulting from the coronary artery disease is rather different from other mitral valve diseases outside some exceptional cases. In these cases, there are no structural problems in the valve; however, as a result of some anatomic changes, the function of the valve ensuring one way passage through the valve deteriorates.</description>
