Erdem Hospital: more details about the clinic
Erdem Hospital is a private medical facility in Istanbul's Umraniye district. Established in 1988, it operates as part of the Erdem Health Group. The group maintains a large network across the city, including three hospitals and several specialized centers. The facility features over 250 hospital rooms to accommodate its high patient volume.
The hospital reports serving over 83,000 patients since its founding. Around 185 physicians provide care across four primary departments. The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate, which signals compliance with national standards for treating foreign patients. Internal data indicates a 98% satisfaction rate among those treated.
Surgical Specialties and Aesthetic Care
The hospital has over 30 years of experience in aesthetic and cosmetic surgery. Specialists focus on results that emphasize new hair growth and natural-looking hairlines. Most patients see final results by the end of one year.
The orthopedic department manages complex skeletal and muscular conditions:
- ACL Tear Surgery – a two-hour procedure to repair the anterior cruciate ligament
- Spine Surgery – treatments for joint calcite buildup and herniated discs
- Knee Arthroscopy – small-incision diagnostic and surgical joint procedures
- Meniscus Repair – includes both repair surgery and partial meniscectomy
ACL surgeries typically require a one-to-two-day hospital stay. Patients usually return to work within two to six months.
The cardiovascular unit treats various heart and vascular diseases. Surgeons use small-incision methods for heart valve corrections. They also perform endovascular treatments for vascular diseases and pulmonary embolisms.
For ear and nose conditions, the clinic provides specialized functional surgeries:
- Septoplasty – corrects cartilage and bone curvature to improve nasal breathing
- Otoplasty – surgical correction for prominent or asymmetrical ears
These procedures address chronic nasal congestion and recurrent sinus infections.
Dental and Microsurgical Services
The dental department provides prosthetic and restorative care. Dentists perform titanium dental implant installations to replace missing tooth roots. They use titanium because it offers high tissue compatibility and strong success rates. Other services include metal-ceramic crowns and impacted tooth extractions.
For male reproductive health, the clinic performs subinguinal varicocelectomy. This microsurgical technique treats enlarged scrotal veins to improve fertility.
