Gazi University (Turkish: Gazi Üniversitesi) is a public university located primarily in Ankara, Turkey. It was established in 1926 by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk as Gazi Teacher Training Institute.

In 1992, the faculties and vocational schools in Bolu became Abant Izzet Baysal University.

Achievements

[edit]

Turkey's third face transplant, a partial face transplant, was performed on March 17, 2012, on Hatice Nergis, a twenty-year-old woman, at the university's hospital by a team led by surgeon Selahattin Özmen. The patient from Kahramanmaraş had lost her upper jaw six years prior, including mouth, lips, palate, teeth and nasal cavity by a firearm accident, and was unable to eat. She had undergone in the past around 35 reconstructative plastic surgery operations. The donor was a 28-year-old woman in Istanbul, who committed suicide.[5][6][7]
