    About

    Op.Dr.Gökhan ATEŞ

    As a surgeon managing both evaluation and surgical treatment, I consider it important to follow my patients with a holistic approach from diagnosis through recovery.

    I completed my medical education at Samsun Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Medicine and my residency in general surgery at Erzurum Atatürk University. In 2016 I received advanced training in ERCP and EUS in Germany.

    In Antalya I see patients at Medical Park Antalya Hospital for general surgery, obesity surgery, liver and gallbladder surgery, breast diseases and laparoscopic procedures.

    BMI alone does not determine a treatment decision; accompanying conditions and examination findings are assessed together.

    Patient Information

    General Surgery in Short Answers

    Summary information on frequently asked topics. A physician examination is always required for a definitive diagnosis and treatment.

    Which conditions does general surgery cover?

    General surgery deals with the diagnosis and surgical treatment of conditions such as gallbladder disease, hernia, thyroid, breast, gastrointestinal disorders, hemorrhoids, anal fissure, anal fistula, pilonidal sinus disease and certain cancer operations. The treatment plan is created individually after examination, imaging and laboratory assessment.

    Who can be considered for laser hemorrhoid treatment in Antalya?

    Laser hemorrhoid treatment is one of the minimally invasive options that may be considered in patients whose hemorrhoid stage is found suitable after examination. It may not be appropriate for every patient; an accompanying anal fissure, anal fistula or bleeding can change the treatment plan.

    When is laparoscopic gallbladder surgery needed?

    Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery may be considered in cases of pain caused by gallstones, inflammation, risk of pancreatitis or recurrent complaints. The decision is made according to ultrasound, examination findings, laboratory results and the patient's clinical condition.

    Who is suitable for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair?

    Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is one option that may be considered in suitable patients. The method is chosen according to the type of hernia, whether it is bilateral, previous operations and the patient's general condition.

    Who may be a candidate for sleeve gastrectomy?

    Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical option that may be considered in patients with obesity who have a suitable body mass index and health status. The decision is based on diet history, accompanying conditions (type 2 diabetes, sleep apnoea, hypertension), metabolic status and a detailed medical evaluation.

    This content is provided for general information purposes. A physician examination is required for diagnosis and treatment.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    If I use a GLP-1 weight-loss or diabetes injection, should I stop it before surgery?

    This decision is made individually. Because GLP-1 and dual GIP-GLP-1 medicines such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro can slow gastric emptying, they must always be reported to your surgeon and anaesthetist before surgery and anaesthesia. Do not stop the medicine on your own; nausea, vomiting, reflux, the dose-escalation period, diabetes and the type of planned operation are assessed together to make a safe plan.

    If rectal bleeding occurs at a young age, can it simply be assumed to be hemorrhoids?

    No. At a young age rectal bleeding is often caused by benign conditions such as hemorrhoids or anal fissure; however, if there is recurrent bleeding, anaemia, abdominal pain, weight loss, a change in bowel habits or a family history of colon cancer, colorectal evaluation should not be delayed. A colonoscopy may be planned if considered necessary.

    Is using a mesh in inguinal hernia surgery harmful?

    In inguinal hernia surgery, mesh is one of the standard surgical materials used in suitable patients to reduce the risk of recurrence. The method is not the same for every patient; open, laparoscopic TEP/TAPP or other techniques are chosen according to the type of hernia, the patient's general condition and the surgeon's assessment.

    For which conditions can I make an appointment?

    The main areas assessed within general surgery are obesity surgery, liver and gallbladder surgery, breast diseases, hernia and proctological conditions. You can request information about your symptoms by phone or WhatsApp.
