About the clinic
Treating varicocele at Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital in Turkey involves full diagnostics and microscopic surgery. A basic sperm test costs around $200, while left-sided microsurgery runs about $4,500 and the comprehensive Operation Marmara procedure is around $7,000. The clinic uses a gold-standard microsurgical technique led by a professor with 29 years of experience.
Complete Diagnostic Approach
The process starts with a thorough examination. Doctors perform a physical exam to identify enlarged veins. A semen analysis then checks sperm count and movement. A sperm test confirms the diagnosis before surgery.
Advanced Microscopic Surgical Treatments
Istanbul Florence Nightingale specializes in precise microsurgery. Three main procedures are available.
- Left-sided microsurgical varicocelectomy: This treats the left side. It uses a tiny 1.5cm incision. Hospital stay is typically one day.
- Bilateral microscopic varicocelectomy: This treats varicoceles on both sides. It also preserves testicular function. Patients usually stay in the hospital for one day.
- Operation Marmara (microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy): This is the gold-standard technique. It has a minimal chance of the varicocele returning. Hospitalization typically lasts 1-2 days.
Surgical packages often cover hospital care and nursing.
