About the clinic
Mastectomy at Memorial Antalya Hospital in Antalya, Turkey, is a surgical procedure to remove breast tissue for cancer treatment or prevention. The hospital was the first in Turkey to receive JCI accreditation, showing a long-standing commitment to international safety standards. Patients receive care from experienced specialists like Prof. Dr. Alihan Gürkan, a General Surgeon who performs various breast surgery techniques.
Mastectomy Techniques and Options
The surgical team tailors the approach to the stage of cancer and the health of the patient. Several methods are available depending on how much tissue needs to be removed:
Simple mastectomy removes the entire breast tissue but leaves the lymph nodes.
Modified radical mastectomy removes the breast and some lymph nodes under the arm.
Radical mastectomy is a more extensive surgery involving the chest wall muscles.
Nipple-sparing mastectomy keeps the nipple and areola for a more natural look after surgery.
Double mastectomy involves the removal of both breasts to treat or prevent cancer.
For patients who do not require a full mastectomy, the hospital also offers lumpectomy. This breast-conserving option removes only the tumor and a small margin of healthy tissue.
Immediate Breast Reconstruction
Memorial Antalya Hospital provides immediate breast reconstruction during the same surgical session as the mastectomy. Plastic surgery techniques are used to rebuild the breast shape before the patient wakes up. This combined approach helps preserve body image and reduces the number of future surgeries. Prof. Dr. Alihan Gürkan works within this multidisciplinary framework to help patients through their recovery.
Hospital Quality and Facilities
The facility holds LEED Platinum certification, which marks it as an environmentally friendly building. This combines healthcare excellence with a modern and sustainable environment. As a JCI-accredited institution, the hospital follows strict protocols for surgery and patient recovery. This focus on quality helps manage the complexities of breast cancer treatment in a safe setting.

We got to the MEMORIAL clinic due to an urgent diagnosis. The successful outcome of the operation depended on promptness. The question was about days. The operation was carried out the next day. The most difficult operation according to the Whipple method. Conducted by professor, head of surgery. Low bow to him. The entire staff of the department works perfectly, promptly responds to any request. Separately, I want to say about the work of the translator Aida. High qualification, operational work at any time of the day, sincerity - only a small description of her qualities. Special thanks for providing meals to the patient and accompanying person. The cuisine is very tasty, in some positions it is better than homemade. I enjoyed the vegetarian cuisine. But there is a different one. A low bow to all the staff of the clinic. They saved my husband's life.

The result exceeded our expectations and at the moment we are very satisfied
In the beginning everything seemed to be well organized, but many questions remained due to the language barrier, because the translation is still apparently more superficial and the translators probably do not have time to translate all the details, but I would like to receive more accurate information. Plus, we did not notice anything special in the approach of the doctors, they have their own protocol, which they follow and do not leave.
