MedicalPoint International Hospital in Izmir, Turkey, provides specialized care for prostate enlargement and related conditions like prostatitis. The facility holds JCI, ISO, and TEMOS accreditations and serves as a teaching hospital for the Izmir University of Economics Faculty of Medicine. This academic affiliation helps the urology team use advanced surgical methods and modern diagnostic tools.
Advanced prostate diagnostics
The clinic uses precise imaging and sampling methods to identify the cause of prostate symptoms. These tests help the medical team choose the most effective surgery or therapy for each patient.
- MR Fusion prostate biopsy. This new-generation tool combines MRI images with live ultrasound for high accuracy.
- Prostate biopsy. A standard procedure to examine tissue samples for inflammation or other changes.
Minimally invasive laser treatments
Prof. Erem Kaan Başok leads the urology department with training in advanced laser prostatectomy from centers in Italy and Germany. Prof. Erem Kaan Başok is an active member of the European Association of Urology and the Endourology Society. The hospital uses several laser techniques to treat the prostate with less tissue damage than traditional surgery.
- Holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP). This method removes large amounts of prostate tissue without incisions.
- Thulium laser enucleation of prostate (ThuLEP). A laser enucleation alternative used by the specialized urology team.
- GreenLight laser vaporization. This procedure uses laser energy to vaporize excess prostate tissue.
Endoscopic and surgical options
For patients who are not candidates for laser therapy, the hospital offers endoscopic and traditional surgical paths. The choice depends on the size of the prostate and the presence of bladder stones or other structural issues.
- Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). A common endoscopic treatment for moderate prostate enlargement.
- Plasmakinetic vaporization. This technique uses plasmakinetic energy to remove tissue through an endoscope.
- Open prostatectomy. Surgeons perform this traditional procedure for very large prostates, usually over 80–100 ml.
