Dr Faruk — Istanbul

Dr. Faruk Gençoğlu began his medical education at the Faculty of Medicine of Ondokuz Mayıs University in Samsun. In 2015, he continued his academic and professional training at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Cerrahpaşa Cardiology Institute. He completed his residency training in 2020 and became a board-certified Cardiovascular Surgeon.

During his residency training at the Cerrahpaşa Cardiology Institute, Dr. Gençoğlu received extensive clinical and surgical training at a high-volume tertiary center specializing in advanced cardiovascular procedures. He gained comprehensive experience across the full spectrum of adult cardiovascular surgery, including both conventional and advanced surgical techniques. Throughout his training and subsequent professional career, he has actively participated in approximately 3,000 adult cardiovascular surgical cases.

Dr. Gençoğlu’s clinical practice focuses primarily on minimally invasive, endoscopic, and robotic cardiac surgery, as well as advanced endovascular vascular interventions. He has extensive experience in the surgical management of coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders involving the mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valves, aortic diseases, carotid artery disease, peripheral vascular diseases, chronic venous insufficiency, and deep vein thrombosis.

He has advanced expertise in off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery, innovative minimally invasive cardiac surgical techniques, and endovascular aortic interventions.

Dr. Gençoğlu is among the pioneering cardiovascular surgeons in Türkiye performing advanced minimally invasive cardiac surgical procedures, which are available at only a limited number of specialized centers. He is among the select group of surgeons who can perform:

• Minimally invasive (endoscopic) ascending aortic surgery
• Minimally invasive aortic valve surgery

Through his expertise in minimally invasive cardiac and aortic surgery, Dr. Gençoğlu holds a distinguished position in the field at the national level.

Dr. Gençoğlu successfully performs endoscopic cardiac procedures through the axillary (underarm) approach, an advanced technique available at only a limited number of centers in Türkiye. These procedures enable selected valve and coronary bypass surgeries to be performed without dividing the sternum (breastbone), offering effective and reliable clinical outcomes.

He also performs robotic cardiac surgery using the Da Vinci Surgical System. By utilizing the enhanced precision and reduced tissue trauma provided by robotic technology, he aims to support faster recovery and a more comfortable postoperative experience for eligible patients.

In the treatment of aortic diseases, Dr. Gençoğlu evaluates and combines open surgical and endovascular treatment approaches according to each patient’s individual clinical needs. He performs EVAR (Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair) and TEVAR (Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair) procedures, providing effective and minimally invasive treatment options for patients with complex or high-risk aortic conditions.

Since 2023, Dr. Gençoğlu has been providing medical care at the Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic of Hisar Hospital Intercontinental. Scientific excellence, ethical values, and patient safety are the fundamental priorities of his professional practice.
