Hello everyone,

We want to address some false claims circulating on this forum. It has come to our attention that there's a mix-up associating our practice with an incident that occurred at a different facility. We have already reached out to the forum moderators to correct this misunderstanding.

Our practice is built on legal and ethical standards, focusing on transparency and integrity in all our actions. The incident mentioned is not connected to our hospital, Esencan Hastanesi, our accommodations at MyHouse N5 Suites Hotel, or Dr. Yuksel Yurttas personally. These false claims harm our reputation and the trust our patients place in us.

We are open to addressing any concerns or questions regarding our services and practices. Our commitment to providing safe, transparent, and high-quality care remains unwavering. We thank you for your understanding and support in rectifying these inaccuracies.

Best regards,

Dr. Yuksel Yurttas and Team

Yuksel Yurttas has crippled so many folks, including me. There were multiple people with bone infections, crooked legs. One patient Yurttas forgot to remove his ankle screws. Another patient had their fixator fall off during PT. Another patients bone never grew. Another patient got a stomach infection that traveled from her bone.

Here is the story of the Chinese girl who Yuksel Yurttas gave a bone infection to and she’s still recovering from:

http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=84918.0


And the list goes on and on… The only thing Yurttas is known for outside of N5 Suites is crippling people and giving them deformities. Yurttas is infamous in Turkey and the world for crippling patients only.

Thank you for consolidating most of the allegations in one message. This will help us to address many questions and concerns at once. As many of you know, we do not engage in any activity on the forum and will continue to refrain from doing so. After this message, anyone seeking information can reach us through our official communication channels.

We're dealing with not just false claims about us here but also some confusion that might mislead people researching the procedure. We need to set the record straight.

No patient under our care had severe bone infections after surgery. When you dig into the story shared in this forum before, you’ll see that the patient opted to continue their treatment with the health tourism company they paid, not with Dr. Yurttas. By then, Dr. Yurttas had already stopped working with that organization and was setting up his own team. Patients have the right to choose their doctor, and we weren't responsible for this case. For the past two years running Dr. Yurttas’ practice, we’ve had no such cases. We follow strict post-operative care protocols to prevent infections and treat them effectively.

Regarding the claim that someone's fixator fell off during surgery, that never happened. We had a patient with a stress fracture, which we treated appropriately. But, that’s completely a different case. We always make sure to provide the necessary support and keep open communication until our patients are fully recovered.

The stomach infection mix-up is because we don’t deal with the stomach at all. Limb lengthening is way off from touching anything near the stomach and causing such infections.

In some cases, some screws can be removed late for different reasons. Each case is unique, and it's not clear exactly what and which type of case is being referred to. Evaluating the purpose of each screw requires detailed medical knowledge specific to this type of surgery.

Bone healing is a natural process that's partly beyond our control. It varies from patient to patient, depending on the method used, the effectiveness of postoperative care, and some other factors such as smoking, diet etc. Bone healing issues occur in less than 5% of cases. Sometimes, patients' bones may heal slowly, quickly, or not at all. We monitor this with X-rays and exams every two weeks, and provide the right treatment and support.

After tibia lengthening, deformities can occur for various reasons, and they can be corrected with additional surgical interventions. We make it clear to patients that such complications can happen and the costs for some additional treatments are covered by the patient. In these cases, we only charge a minimal cost, but it's up to the patient to decide on getting the extra treatment.

Lastly, our website and the guides and documents we share before surgery detail potential risks and complications thoroughly, including how we address them and what is covered or not. Anyone can reach out to us for more information and to get these documents.

Thank you all for taking the time to read and consider our response. For any further information or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly.

Best wishes!

For the past two years running Dr. Yurttas’ practice, we’ve had no such cases. We follow strict post-operative care protocols to prevent infections and treat them effectively.

That patient had their initial surgery and their removal surgery WITH Dr Yuksel. Meaning he is responsible for the patients infection. It has been noted that the operating room of Dr Yuksel is not completely sterile, which is giving patients these infections.

Dr Yuksel used to work with Wannabetaller, but Yuksel was kicked out of the group due to him inserting cheap hardware into patients and crippling people.
Just because Dr Yuksel is not part of WBT RIGHT NOW, doesn’t mean he’s absolved of blame. As noted before, the patients initial surgery, lengthening, and removal WAS DONE UNDER DR YUKSEL.

Do you know that the practice of giving antibiotics to patients after LL is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN in Western countries? The reason being is that if there is actually an infection, the antibiotics will create a super resistant infection. The rate of infection in the USA is so low, that doctors can actually lose their license over it.

From the World Health Organization of the UN:

“Importantly, the guidelines recommend that antibiotics be used to prevent infections before and during surgery only, a crucial measure in stopping the spread of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotics should not be used after surgery, as is often done.”

https://www.who.int/news/item/03-11-2016-who-recommends-29-ways-to-stop-surgical-infections-and-avoid-superbugs#:~:text=Antibiotics%20should%20not%20be%20used,prevent%20and%20treat%20bacterial%20infections.


It is only in Turkey where the brilliant minds of Yuksel and WBT give antibiotics AFTER an orthopedic surgery. Do you understand why Turkish butchers do this? A lack of sterility in the operating room. Meaning an higher chance of getting an infection DURING surgery. Any western doctor would laugh at this. Completely against standard medical procedure.



  Regarding the claim that someone's fixator fell off during surgery, that never happened. We had a patient with a stress fracture, which we treated appropriately. But, that’s completely a different case. We always make sure to provide the necessary support and keep open communication until our patients are fully recovered.

Yes that did happen. It happened during PT. The patients fixator fell off. I was in the hallway when it happened, and I heard the patients screams during. I was her neighbor for Gods sake. When she came back from the hospital I won’t forget how your doctor treated her.


The stomach infection mix-up is because we don’t deal with the stomach at all. Limb lengthening is way off from touching anything near the stomach and causing such infections.

I reported the stomach infection because the patients had a bone infection. The infection traveled from her bone to her stomach. All the patients are under your care.


After tibia lengthening, deformities can occur for various reasons, and they can be corrected with additional surgical interventions. We make it clear to patients that such complications can happen and the costs for some additional treatments are covered by the patient. In these cases, we only charge a minimal cost, but it's up to the patient to decide on getting the extra treatment.

I have quotes FROM NUMEROUS ORTHOPEDIC surgeons from around the world saying the reason of my deformity is lack of planning in the operating room. A real orthopedic limb lengthening specialist would NEVER make the same mistakes Yuksel Yurttas has. Yuksel Yurttas is known worldwide for giving other surgeons worldwide patients to treat.

You can check my story for how Yuksel Yurttas crippled me. Not just me, he gave every tibia patient multiple deformities. If you go to Yuksel Yurttas, you are bound to leave with crooked legs and knee problems.

Ahh so additional treatments. Let’s see, you charge the patients more for fixing the problems the doctor created?
Some places in Turkey have package accommodations where you get PT and food along with the price.
But I guess for Yuksel Yurttas it’s an additional $10000 if you want straight legs.

  Bone healing is a natural process that's partly beyond our control. It varies from patient to patient, depending on the method used, the effectiveness of postoperative care, and some other factors such as smoking, diet etc. Bone healing issues occur in less than 5% of cases. Sometimes, patients' bones may heal slowly, quickly, or not at all. We monitor this with X-rays and exams every two weeks, and provide the right treatment and support.

Remember the patient you gave non union? He had to go to a doctor here in the USA to get fixed. He got non union because Yuksel told him to lengthen at 1.5mm/day.

His story:

All in all, Yuksel Yurttas, Wannabetaller, etc give a bad name to Turkish surgeons. These surgeons wouldn’t even be allowed to be a janitor in an American hospital. They would be sued out of everything if they operated in a country with actual medical standards.

Terrible.

I do want to jump in a clarify. Using antibiotics *after an incision closes* is what they’re referring to. And ONLY if there is no infection. They’re saying don’t use preventative antibiotics if there is no infection after a surgical wound heals. As many used to do. If you have an open wound with an infection you absolutely should take them.

You finally wised up :D I told you many times to stay away from Dr Yuksel Yurttas, but you accused me of being a troll and defended him... I do not speak without evidence. I have already written here the doctors you should stay away from. See my previous posts. Also you are right. Doctors and companies like Wannabetaller, Livelifetaller, AFA and Dr yuksel yurttas are ruining Turkey's name.

Preventatively taking antibiotics absolutely works. The governments/WHO advised against it because it's bad on a societal level (i.e. the development of resistance long term), but for the individual it's very worthwhile to take them. The only reason you wouldn't is if you actually care about 'society' and faceless other humans you'll never meet.

For another example: if I'm going to fk a hooker bareback, I'll absolutely be taking preventative antibiotics to prevent any possibility of chlamydia infection. It's an excellent choice for MY health. It's bad for YOUR health (as the development of antibiotic resistance on the population), but I don't give a damn about your health, only mine. And I'd expect no less in return. Take the meds, especially for something like LL.

Yes, that’s what I was referring to as well. They give antibiotics even if you’re doing Precice and don’t even have an infection. The next superbug will come from Yuksel Yurttas patient I guess.

It’s not worthwhile for an individual to take it. The patient who Dr Yuksel gave a bone infection to reported she was taking antibiotics instead of doing debridement. It’s been 2 years now, and she still has a bone infection due to the negligence of Yuksel Yurttas and the resistance of her infection to treatments. If a bone infection gets particularly bad, you can die if infected blood reaches your heart.

I can guarantee you she didnt get the infection BECAUSE of the antibiotics. She perhaps caught it on the operating table and the antibiotics failed to prevent it - no medication works 100% of the time, you still have much better odds taking antibiotics than not doing.

This is like saying you can still die if you wear your seatbelt therefore there's no value in doing so.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. She got the infection during the surgery, and the taking of antibiotics instead of debridement at the end caused it to be resistant.

The problem here isn't the taking of antibiotics, the problem is the non-sterile procedures on the operating table then. Which is certainly something to criticise them for, but the taking of an antibiotic is neither here nor there.

Antibiotics are a good pre-emptive measure IN CASE something went wrong. I do it all the time if expecting to be exposed to potentially harmful bacteria - for example, going to visit a country where food safety standards aren't all that high, I'll take antibiotics a day before and continue them until a day after I leave. Because it works, most times. The only reason western doctors don't do it is for the benefit of society, not the patient on the operating table. I don't give a damn about the long term societal implications or any other soy ideas, I only care for myself, and so I'd have definitely taken the antibiotics if offered (I can't even remember if they were, surgery was a year ago now).

Exactly. Yuksel Yurttas gave her an infection on the operating table and then tried to pawn her away like it wasn’t his fault.

You are a liar. You are downplaying everything. It wasn't just a minor "stress fracture", you gave Joseph a pylon fracture requiring major surgery to fix! He had to go back to the USA to have it corrected! And as far as I know, he's still recovering and cannot function well yet. He also got a 30 degree equinus contracture! Just watch the YouTube video.

Dr. Yuksel is a butcher. It's as simple as that. Anyone going with him is a fool.
