Dr. Ellada Manafova — female proctologist and general surgeon in Baku

Dr. Ellada Manafova has been a surgeon since 2005. She graduated from Azerbaijan Medical University, has worked in both civilian and military surgery, and served as a surgeon behind the front lines during the 44-day Patriotic War of 2020. She keeps her knowledge up to date at international congresses, including the ISUCRS congress of colorectal surgeons.

For her, the key point is this: no patient should wait for years out of embarrassment or fear. Proctological problems are very common. When people seek help in time, most of them can be solved in a simple way. More about the doctor

• A female surgeon and a female team

  Operations are performed by a female surgeon with a female anesthesia team. For women who feel uneasy about examinations and surgery in intimate areas, this is a great comfort.

• Complete confidentiality

  Examinations take place in private. Without your consent, your medical information is not shared with anyone, and no photos or videos are taken.

• Diagnosis first, then a decision

  Not every complaint means surgery. An acute anal fissure, early-stage hemorrhoids and many forms of constipation are treated without an operation. Surgery is offered only when it is truly needed. When is surgery needed?

• Modern, less traumatic techniques

  Laser (LHP), LigaSure and Longo for hemorrhoids; short procedures that relieve the muscle spasm in a chronic anal fissure; laparoscopy for the gallbladder. The goal is less pain and a quick return to everyday life. About laser treatment

• One anesthesia, several solutions

  When medically indicated, several problems are treated in the same session — for example, hemorrhoids, rectocele and urinary incontinence. The patient has anesthesia once and goes through one recovery period.

• Over 20 years of surgical experience

  Years in civilian and military surgery, international congresses and training in laser surgery.

• “I was so scared, but I didn't feel a thing.” A patient's first words right after surgery.
• “I was scared for nothing — it wasn't as bad as I thought.” A patient, 9 days after reconstructive surgery.
• “My doctor and the clinic team were incredibly supportive.” A patient's feedback after surgery.
• “Share this so that no one suffers the way I did.” A patient who had six procedures in one session. Hemorrhoids, an anal fissure, hernias and an abdominal skin correction were all treated under a single anesthesia.

Many of the patients in our stories put off treatment for years: some waited 15 years, others 30. Read patient stories. Every patient's situation is different, and results may vary.
