Interventional Radiology · İzmir, Türkiye
Treatment through a pinhole,
not an operating room.
Image-guided procedures for varicose veins, fibroids, varicocele and more — performed under local anaesthesia through a puncture a few millimetres wide. Most patients walk out the same day.
Conditions treated from inside the vessel
Each procedure is planned from your own imaging and performed by Dr. Pıçak. Select a treatment to see the pathway, recovery and expected outcome.

Minimally invasive
A puncture instead of an incision. Less pain, no scar, far lower risk of infection.
Image-guided precision
Live angiography and ultrasound show the target throughout, so treatment stays inside millimetres.
Faster recovery
Most patients return to normal activity within days and can fly home after a short check.
Organ-preserving
The problem is treated while natural anatomy and function are kept intact.
One physician, from first message to final follow-up
The same doctor reads your imaging, performs your procedure and answers your questions six months later. Nothing is delegated to a call centre.
Share imaging and reports
Upload ultrasound, MRI or CT securely. No appointment needed to start.
Personal review, then a call
Dr. Pıçak reads your case within 48 hours and speaks with you by video.
Written plan and estimate
Procedure, length of stay, cost and travel dates, in writing before you book.
Arrival and same-day workup
The treating hospital confirms transfer options and schedules required tests after the hospital and treatment date are agreed.
The procedure
Local anaesthesia, typically 30–60 minutes, awake and comfortable throughout.
Discharge and first check
A few hours of observation, then back to your hotel with a written aftercare plan.
Cleared to fly
A final examination before departure, with discharge documents for your own doctor.
Follow-up at 1, 3 and 6 months
Scheduled video reviews of your control imaging, wherever you are.
A direct line, kept open
One WhatsApp number that reaches the clinical team, not a switchboard.
Mehmet Hakan Pıçak, MD
An interventional radiologist based in İzmir, Türkiye, Dr. Pıçak has spent more than ten years treating vascular and non-vascular disease through image-guided technique rather than open surgery.
His practice is built around a single principle: the physician who reads the imaging should be the one who performs the procedure and follows the outcome. International patients are treated to the same standard and the same schedule as local ones.
