The bariatric and metabolic surgery program led by Dr. Mesut Caynak has announced a significant advancement in the adoption of the innovative “Caynak Technique,” a structured and protocol-driven approach to obesity surgery. This announcement comes as Dr. Caynak celebrates the renewal of his Master Bariatric Surgeon designation from the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC), a status awarded for excellence in patient safety and care quality.
Dr. Caynak’s surgical team, based in Antalya, has successfully completed over 3,500 obesity surgery procedures during the past decade. They are among a select few in Türkiye with SRC’s Master Bariatric Surgeon accreditation, maintained through every review cycle. The distinguished program operates in an internationally accredited hospital, adhering to a well-defined structure for pre-operative assessments, intra-operative safety measures, and post-operative care.
Addressing Growing Concerns in Obesity Surgery
As the global discussion about the complications and negative outcomes of obesity surgery intensifies, Dr. Caynak’s program has garnered attention for the Caynak Technique’s enhanced safety and reliability. By employing standardized safety protocols and multiple verification steps, the method helps patients achieve long-lasting health benefits with reduced risks compared to more traditional surgical methods. Consequently, Dr. Caynak’s program has become a draw for patients from the UK, Europe, and the United States who are in search of structured and outcome-oriented bariatric solutions.
Key Features of the Caynak Technique
The Caynak Technique is not just a single procedure; rather, it is a comprehensive, systems-based model designed to improve the safety and effectiveness of obesity surgeries. Key highlights of this technique include:
- System-level model: Standardization of operating room setup, anesthesiology coordination, instrument selection, crucial timing of steps, and multi-layer leak prevention.
- Verification at every stage: Each part of the surgery includes built-in checks and documentation designed to reinforce safety and consistency.
- 12-month follow-up: Ongoing surveillance of nutrition, physical activity, and potential complications at defined checkpoints.
- Renewed SRC designation: This renewal signifies strict adherence to rigorous, outcomes-based standards evaluated independently.
Dr. Mesut Caynak articulates the importance of a disciplined system: “Technically sound surgery is necessary but not sufficient. Consistent safety comes from a disciplined system that brings together the right team, standardized steps, and measured verification at every stage. The Caynak Technique packages these practices into a clear and reproducible pathway.”
Detailed Components of the Caynak Technique
The nuanced approach of the Caynak Technique incorporates a variety of system-level safety checks and structured workflows, designed to enhance surgical reproducibility and patient outcomes. Essential elements include:
- Operating room standards: Enhanced sterility and procedural setup that exceed conventional norms.
- Modern technology: Utilization of advanced instruments and energy devices managed by a qualified surgical team.
- Anesthesiology integration: Tailored to meet the unique demands of metabolic surgery with specific hemodynamic targets.
- Timeliness: Strict adherence to timing during critical surgical steps to lower risk and enhance precision.
- Leak prevention protocols: A systematic workflow that merges technical procedures with verification checks.
- Enhanced recovery focus: Encouragement of early mobilization, supported by a symptom-guided discharge process.
- Continuity of care: A designed 12-month follow-up system includes monitoring of nutrition, activity levels, and complication management.
Increasing International Demand
The Antalya-based program has noted a surge in patients from Türkiye, Europe, the UK, and the US seeking surgery led by Dr. Caynak. The program guarantees transparency through clear patient information regarding surgical indications, informed consent, and tangible outcomes, supported by various educational materials, animations, visual comparisons, and detailed counseling concerning potential complications.
Each patient remains under observation for a year following their procedure, with established benchmarks aimed at promoting sustained weight loss and metabolic improvement. Dr. Caynak emphasizes, “Our aim is to unite access with accountability. This means consistent criteria for candidacy, structured peri-operative care, and clear, trackable outcomes that patients and referring physicians can rely on.”
