Dr.Aydin Saray graduated from Ankara University, Faculty of Medicine in 1992 with his M.D. degree in medicine. He started his plastic surgery training at Ankara University in November of 1992. He was the winner of the first prize in "Annual  Contest for projects in Surgery" at Medical School of Ankara University with his experimental study, named "Creation of a vascularized nerve graft by prefabrication" in 1995 and he was also, awarded the second prize in the same annual event with his study named "Effects of Pulsed Electromagnetic fields on the survival of random skin flaps" in 1996. He completed his General Surgery training at Ankara University. Dr. Saray has several major interests which include basic laboratory research, Paediatric Plastic Surgery, Microsurgery, and Hand Surgery with major emphasis on Surgery of the Peripheral Nerve.  He completed his plastic surgery training in March 1998 and he is currently working at Sevgi  Hospital as the staff plastic surgeon.
