International Patients

Urology treatment at international standards, in Istanbul. The process begins with a WhatsApp message from the country where you live.

Overview

A safe process that starts remotely

Many patients living abroad choose Istanbul, especially for treatments such as HoLEP, Rezum and penile prosthesis. Our aim is to make every step — from before travel to the follow-up process — simple, predictable and safe for you.

The process starts with a preliminary consultation from the country where you live. You share your current tests and complaints; your situation is assessed, and the treatment options suitable for you, the likely process and estimated timeframes are discussed openly. This way, you make your travel decision based on information.

Communication in German and English is possible. Because Assoc. Prof. Tonyalı worked at the University of Freiburg in Germany, he is familiar with international patient processes and expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What international patients ask

The most common questions about travel, timing and language.

No, the process starts remotely. By sharing your current tests, you can have an online preliminary review and learn about your suitability and the likely treatment plan. A face-to-face examination in Istanbul is required for a definitive diagnosis and treatment.

How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?

This varies according to the treatment to be performed. For many minimally invasive procedures, a short hospital stay followed by a few days of check-up is enough. Your estimated length of stay is notified in advance once your treatment plan is clear.
