About risks and side effects

All of our treatments are medical procedures. It cannot be said that there is no possibility of risks (side effects or complications) associated with medical procedures. Some risks can be avoided with specialized knowledge and appropriate treatment, but some occur due to unavoidable circumstances.

At our hospital, we always explain side effects and risks before treatment and make every effort to avoid avoidable risks.
