Malazgirt State Hospital has made a groundbreaking achievement in the field of orthopedics.

MUS (IHA) – Operator doctors Hasan Mehmet Tıraş and Yunus Elmas, who work at Malazgirt State Hospital in Muş, successfully performed a total knee prosthesis surgery for a patient suffering from gonarthrosis (knee osteoarthritis), marking the first time such an operation has been successfully carried out in the district.

Following the successful operation, Temel entered a rapid recovery process. Op. Dr. Hasan Mehmet Tıraş, who performed the surgery, emphasized the importance of the operation, stating, “This surgery is the first total knee prosthesis surgery performed in our hospital.

Malazgirt State Hospital Chief Physician Uzm. Dr. Esma Söylemez expressed her happiness regarding this important development, saying, “We send our best wishes to Mrs. Saniye. This surgery is being performed for the first time in our hospital. Our patient started walking on the second day. We will perform many more successful surgeries in the future. We will continue our efforts to provide healthcare services to the people of Malazgirt at Western standards. I thank the entire team.”

Saniye Temel, who regained her health after the surgery, stated that she feels very good now, saying, “I thank our doctors and the entire hospital team very much.”

Saniye Temel’s husband, İhsan Temel, mentioned that private hospitals had asked them for 200,000 lira for this surgery, saying, “The doctors at Malazgirt State Hospital performed this surgery here. I thank the entire hospital team very much.”
