I am Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fatma Özcan Sıkı. I work as a faculty member in the Department of Pediatric Surgery at Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine. My academic and clinical interests are focused on pediatric surgery, especially urinary system diseases, stone diseases, acute abdomen and gastrointestinal system anomalies in children. After completing my medical education, I aimed to contribute to this field with both clinical and scientific studies by receiving my specialization training in pediatric surgery. I have published many national and international publications so far. Among my studies, the place of minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of kidney stones in childhood, the use of new biomarkers in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and the post-surgical management of congenital diseases such as Hirschsprung disease stand out. In addition to my scientific productivity, I attach importance to student and resident education. At the same time, I take part in various scientific projects as a researcher and keep my knowledge up-to-date by closely following current developments in the field of pediatric surgery.
