My acquaintance with Prof. Dr. Fatih Şendağ began after my symptoms recurred following my first endometriosis surgery. Although I was confident in his medical expertise, I was quite anxious about having to undergo a second surgery within a year due to the progression of my condition. With his accurate diagnosis and guidance, we planned and completed the surgery within just one week.
If this had been my first operation, I might not have been able to write with such certainty — but I truly did not expect such a comfortable recovery. To give specific examples: even the laparoscopy incisions were smaller, I stopped taking painkillers on the second day, and by the fourth day, I was traveling by car on vacation. I didn’t experience any movement restrictions.
My two biggest fears before surgery were the use of surgical drains and gas pain, but he did not use any drains, and I did not experience shoulder pain from gas either.
I completed this process with gratitude and relief, having lost only four days of my vacation, and I’m filled with joy at being free of the disease and having gone through this journey under the care of such a skilled doctor.
I sincerely hope there will be more professionals as competent and compassionate as him.
