Op. MD. Yaman Khoraki, A  Thoracic Surgery Expert in Minimally Invasive Techniques, Lung Cancer, and Advanced Diagnostics

Op. MD. Yaman Khoraki is a specialized Thoracic Surgeon at Liv Hospital Ulus, dedicated to providing world-class care using the most advanced technology to ensure optimal clinical outcomes with a deeply patient-centric focus. His clinical expertise centers on Thoracoscopic Minimally Invasive Surgery (VATS), a technique crucial for treating conditions like Lung cancer and Pleural disease surgery. By prioritizing these minimally invasive approaches, Dr. Khoraki is able to offer patients the benefits of smaller incisions, reduced postoperative pain, lower complication rates, and a significantly faster recovery time, all of which contribute to enhanced patient comfort.

Dr. Khoraki's specialized interest extends to treating Hyperhidrosis and congenital deformities like Pectus Carinatum, where he utilizes modern, safe, and successful methods, including the Abramson method for complex chest wall reconstruction. He is highly proficient in advanced treatments and diagnostics, notably researching the utility of portable Thoracic Ultrasound devices. His work demonstrates that proficient thoracic surgeons can effectively employ this cutting-edge technology for quick and accurate decision-making in cases of Pleural Effusion, often directly at the bedside. With his training from Istanbul University, Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, coupled with observer experience at Yedikule Chest Diseases and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital, Dr. Khoraki delivers a comprehensive, evidence-based surgical service that places patient well-being at the core of all complex thoracic interventions.

 

Op. MD. Yaman Khoraki serves as an emerging academic authority in Thoracic Surgery, actively contributing to the foundation of evidence-based surgical practice through dedicated scientific research. His commitment to academic advancement is evident in his contributions to both national and international publications, where he focuses on validating new diagnostic tools and surgical techniques. Notably, his research highlights the high diagnostic value of Thoracic Ultrasound in pleural effusion decision-making, a key development in contemporary thoracic diagnostics. Furthermore, his work on the effectiveness and safety of the Minimally Invasive Surgery (Abramson method) for Pectus Carinatum is published in reputable medical journals, reinforcing his stature as a specialist who relies on objective data.

Dr. Khoraki extends his academic influence by authoring chapters in medical literature, including a contribution to the "Handbook of Congenital Chest Wall Deformities," positioning him as an important educator and source of specialized knowledge. He actively shares his findings at scientific meetings and maintains key memberships in major professional organizations, including the European Society of Thoracic Surgery (ESTS), the Turkish Society of Thoracic Surgery (TGCD), and the Turkish Respiratory Research Society (TUSAD). This rigorous involvement in research, publication, and continuous education ensures that the advanced treatments and clinical expertise provided to his patients at Liv Hospital are consistently aligned with the most current and highest evidence-based global standards.
