Kidney cyst Treatment in Assoc. Prof. Dr. Haluk Söylemez

About the clinic

Treatment for kidney cysts is available at the clinic of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Haluk Söylemez in Istanbul, Turkey. The medical team follows protocols based on EAU guidelines to manage both simple and complex cysts. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Haluk Söylemez leads the practice with over 15 years of experience in urology and has published 100+ scientific articles on laparoscopic surgery and endourology.

Diagnostic process for kidney cysts

The clinic uses advanced imaging to evaluate the size, location, and nature of the cyst. Doctors apply the Bosniak classification system to determine if a cyst is benign or requires surgical intervention. The diagnostic suite includes:

Ultrasonography (USG). This is often the first step to monitor cyst size and structure.
Computed tomography (CT) scan. A detailed scan to assess the cyst wall and internal density.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Used for a highly detailed view of complex cysts.
Blood and urine tests. These check kidney function by measuring creatinine, urea, and urinalysis markers.

Treatment methods and surgery

The choice of treatment depends on whether the cyst causes pain or affects kidney function. The clinic offers a full range of options from monitoring to minimally invasive surgery.

Observation and follow-up. This approach is for small, simple cysts that do not cause symptoms. It involves regular ultrasound scans to avoid unnecessary procedures.
Percutaneous aspiration and sclerotherapy. This is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. The doctor uses ultrasound guidance to drain the cyst with a needle and injects alcohol to prevent it from refilling.
Laparoscopic cyst surgery. This minimally invasive surgery uses small incisions to remove the cyst wall. It typically requires a hospital stay of 1–3 days. Patients usually return to their normal activities within 2 weeks.
Open cyst surgery. Surgeons use a larger incision for this traditional method. It is reserved for highly complex cases or when there is a suspicion of malignancy.

Specialist expertise

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Haluk Söylemez graduated from Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine in 2001 and earned his associate professorship in 2013.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Haluk Söylemez: more details about the clinic

Turkey, Istanbul

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Haluk Söylemez is a specialized urology and andrology clinic in Istanbul's Fulya district. The practice focuses on diagnosing and treating urinary system conditions and male reproductive health. Dr. Haluk Söylemez leads a team of eight doctors who provide both surgical and non-surgical care. The clinic operates from a single dedicated building with a workflow designed for international patients.### Expertise and Clinical StandardsThe clinic follows evidence-based protocols aligned with European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines. Before starting therapies, specialists conduct thorough evaluations for underlying vascular disease, diabetes, or hypertension. For surgical interventions, the clinic uses specialized devices designed to reduce infection risks. After penile implant procedures, patient and partner satisfaction rates exceed 90%.### Urology and Andrology SpecializationsThe clinic manages conditions across adult and pediatric urology. Specialists use a stepwise approach for male sexual health. Treatment begins with lifestyle changes before progressing to advanced medical or surgical options.

Male Sexual Health and Andrology

Dr. Haluk Söylemez offers multiple pathways for treating erectile dysfunction and other male health concerns:

ESWT – A non-invasive treatment using low-intensity sound waves to improve blood flow.
Regenerative Therapies – Options including SVF (stromal vascular fraction) and exosome therapy.
Penile Implants – Surgical placement of malleable one-piece or three-piece inflatable prostheses.
Cosmetic Procedures – Non-surgical thickening using hyaluronic acid fillers and glans filler techniques.
Andrological Surgery – Correction of penile curvature (Peyronie's disease), vasectomy, or reversal procedures.

ESWT sessions involve 1,500 pulses and last 10–20 minutes. Patients can resume daily activities immediately.

Kidney and Bladder Care

The medical team treats urinary tract conditions and stone diseases using modern fragmentation techniques:

PNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) – A closed, minimally invasive surgery for clearing large kidney stones.
URS and Laser Lithotripsy – Endoscopic removal of stones using specialized laser devices.
ESWL – Shockwave therapy to break stones without surgical incisions.
Cyst surgery – Laparoscopic or open removal of symptomatic kidney cysts or tumors.

Laparoscopic cyst surgery usually requires a 1–3 day hospital stay. Most patients return to normal activity within two weeks.

Prostate and Pediatric Urology

Specialists manage prostate health through PSA monitoring, biopsies, and surgical treatments for enlargement or cancer. The clinic performs laser prostate surgeries like HoLEP and Greenlight for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The pediatric urology program treats undescended testis, hypospadias, and performs circumcision. For urinary incontinence, options include Botox, bladder pacemakers, and sling surgeries for stress-related leakage.

### Diagnostic Technologies

Correct treatment starts with detailed physical examinations and modern imaging. The clinic uses several diagnostic tools:

Penile Doppler Ultrasound – Provides detailed imaging of penile blood vessels.
Advanced Imaging – Access to CT, MRI, and transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS).
Endoscopy – Diagnostic cystoscopy and urethroscopy for direct visualization of the urinary tract.
Laboratory Testing – Complete urinalysis, urine culture, and Multiplex STD testing.

These tools help specialists distinguish between simple and complex conditions before recommending surgery.

### Services for International Patients

The clinic prioritizes English-speaking communication for foreign patients traveling to Istanbul. Patient coordinators are also available in German, Russian, Arabic, and Turkish. The facility manages the entire care process – from initial consultation and diagnostic testing to long-term monitoring.

Haluk, my doctor of 5 years, thank God, performed my prostate surgery. He checks on me and, whenever I call, he always answers with the same friendly, smiling attitude. He is a very valuable person and a really great doctor. In my opinion, he is the best doctor in Istanbul. I always recommend him to my circle, and I’m recommending him to you as well—meet him, and you’ll understand what I mean.

I visited Dr. Haluk söylemez and underwent a surgical procedure. The medical follow-up was excellent—truly outstanding. I highly recommend everyone to work with him and his team. The medical staff were exceptional. Both the doctor and the translator, Mr. Mohammed, were professional and attentive. He was easy to communicate with and always available at any time.

I have no complaints about Haluk bey. However, at the doctor named Prof. Coşkun Şahin, my penile prosthesis surgery was performed with an incision from above without my knowledge, and as a result, my nerves were damaged. I have a significant loss of sensation. What can be done to cope with or minimize this situation? Wishing everyone a good day.

Due to the health issue I was dealing with, the approach I received during the process I applied for was truly very professional. During the examination, the way he conducted a detailed assessment and explained the situation clearly became a great source of trust for me. Saying that he is one of the best urology specialists in Turkey may be a bold claim, but his knowledge and patient communication support this view. He managed the process in a planned way and provided the necessary guidance clearly. I’m extremely satisfied with both his care and the outcome. I definitely recommend him.

Peace, mercy, and God’s blessings be upon you. My experience with the Bıroni: I went to a well-known clinic in Kuwait and they gave me the wrong treatment. They told me that shockwave therapy has no benefit. This was said about a year and a month ago (around August), and I didn’t benefit from anything in Kuwait. The doctor was German, and he prescribed the wrong treatment. I went to Thailand two weeks ago. The doctor examined me and told me I needed 6 shockwave sessions because the Bıroni I have is mild, but it could get worse. I was afraid it would increase, so I said I have to do treatment. I was prescribed Colchicine 0.6 mg for 6 months + shockwave sessions. Honestly, it was very expensive. The sessions were 13,000 baht, meaning about 125 dinars per session. I didn’t have time for the sessions because it takes about two weeks or more, and I felt the cost was overpriced. I searched on Google and found a Turkish doctor—there was a big price difference. It was around 3 to 4 times higher in Thailand. Same device (SWT), and the one had a modern device. Everything led me (by God’s will) to the clinic of Dr. Haluq in Turkey. I spoke with a respectful Syrian assistant and a translator for Dr. Haluq. I made an appointment and went. He examined me with his own hands without even doing an ultrasound. I also paid extra. He registered me for 6 sessions + 3 plasma injections. The total cost in Thailand was 1,200 USD, while in Turkey it was 2,400 USD, and that was even without plasma injections. In Turkey, with the injections and shockwaves, it cost 1,200 USD. The doctor is really respectful and skilled, and his hands are light and he’s very cooperative. He wasn’t money-minded at all, and he helped me with the treatment request + a device that supports solving the Bıroni problem. There were no pointless upsells or “benefits” that aren’t real—same price as on the website, where the device was cheap: 800 Turkish lira, about 5 dinars. Now I’ve had the 4th session and I already took two plasma injections; one more remains, plus two shockwave sessions left. From the very first session, I felt the difference, and every day I felt better than the day before, الحمدالله … I said I should write my personal experience so someone else can benefit from it. … الحمدالله والشكر لله because I improved. Even before I finish the remaining two sessions and the last injection. About the injection: the doctor’s hands are light and he can even apply regular anesthesia cream. The ending is peace 😇
