Assoc. Prof.Cengiz Dibekoğlu, MDGeneral Surgeon in Istanbul
I practice general surgery at Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital. Alongside hernia, upper gastrointestinal, and advanced laparoscopic general surgery, I focus particularly on colorectal and hepatopancreatobiliary operations; most of my procedures are laparoscopic or Da Vinci robotic when appropriate.
