Dr. Mesut Çaynak and the medical team were wonderful and professional and the outcome after surgery was excellent. The entire team and the doctor were caring, respectful and kept in constant communication with the patient after the surgery. The doctor is, in a nutshell, wonderful.

In an ideal world, medicine is a mission where a doctor with knowledge, experience and sound judgment does the best for his patient. Such a physician is Dr. Mesut. I am fortunate to be his patient and I am thrilled. I also extend my best wishes to the entire team for their professionalism and dedication!

Type 2 diabetes, obesity

I have always respected the staff at Medstar for the way they treat patients, their professionalism and intelligence. But I did not expect that this hospital and Dr. Mesut Çaynak would give me a second birthday. It is not easy to make a decision about surgery, but high blood pressure and blood sugar (a consequence of my overweight) made my life very difficult. Dr. Mesut's professionalism is renowned and the clinic staff and nutritionist are very attentive and trained. They explain every detail scientifically and with statistics. The most important thing is their support after surgery. You will not be left alone.

Publications and scientific activities

Author of several scientific papers in the field of bariatric surgery.

Mesut Caynak’s scientific work covers research in the field of bariatric surgery and its impact on psychosocial and sexual aspects of morbidly obese people. One of the studies focuses on how bariatric surgery affects patients’ social and personal well-being, showing significant improvements in these aspects after weight loss.

In addition, Mesut Caynak describes a unique case of gastrointestinal stromal tumor removal with simultaneous longitudinal gastric resection (sleeve gastrectomy) using a laparoscopic transgastric technique. This approach minimized surgical trauma while maintaining high treatment efficacy.
