Polycystic kidney disease Treatment in Safe Urology Clinic

About the clinic

Polycystic kidney disease care at Safe Urology Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, includes urological assessment and kidney surgery options. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tuncay Taş has over 20 years of experience and 2,000+ urological procedures.

Assessment before surgery

Virtual consultation: Patients can receive a written treatment plan before travel.
In-person assessment: A urologist performs a consultation and physical examination on arrival.
Pre-operative checks: Blood tests and imaging are arranged as needed, followed by anesthesia clearance.

Kidney surgery options

The clinic performs kidney surgery at JCI-accredited partner hospitals in Istanbul. Its laparoscopic nephrectomy program has over 10 years of experience, with 30+ operations per month.

Laparoscopic nephrectomy: The surgeon removes a kidney through several small incisions about 1.27 cm long. A camera and long instruments pass through the incisions, with one incision extended to remove the kidney. The procedure uses general anesthesia for about 2 hours. The listed hospital stay is 4 days, with 7 days in Istanbul. Return to work is listed at 4 weeks. Compared with open nephrectomy, this method is associated with less post-operative pain and smaller scars.
Robotic-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy: The surgeon controls robotic arms from a console, using a magnified, three-dimensional view. The system allows greater instrument maneuverability than standard laparoscopy. The clinic notes that surgeon experience matters for this difficult operation.
Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy: This minimally invasive procedure removes a kidney from a living donor. It is listed as an option supporting transplantation for end-stage polycystic kidney disease.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Taş completed a fellowship in urological oncology and laparoscopic urology at SLK Kliniken Heilbronn and the University of Heidelberg in Germany. Safe Urology Clinic also holds Coloplast Center of Excellence and AMS (Boston Scientific) Center of Experience status.

All-inclusive surgery packages include the procedure, hospital stay, hotel, VIP airport transfers, and medications. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss their case and next steps.

Before my stay in Istanbul, I read a lot of information about the treatment. The best advice I received was on the Safe Urology Clinic website. That's why I chose this clinic.Excellent service. Friendly staff and a professionally designed treatment. Exactly what was promised.

Dr. Tas Is very professional, funny, and welcoming. I've been to 3 clinics in Istanbul and loved the way he worked with me on price, accommodate my schedule, and even went above and beyond to prescribe me medicine the others clinics should've but didn't. Don't hesitate to choose him and his services.

I brought my father here for a for an urology appointment with Dr. Tas. The interaction felt rushed and we didn’t give a full understanding of everything that would be done. Very disappointing being we flew almost twelve hours to Turkey.

My communication with the clinic’s assistant, was difficult. I felt, I didn’t receive clear answers about the procedures, except generic scripts. He was mostly intrested on money and price and payments, no surgical review with the surgeon. Just plan surgery, without a surgical consultation, and hope for the best, on their new treatments he advised.. This clinic, didn't meet my specific needs. Save your money guys, and your junk. Gladly avoided this clinic.

I contacted Safe Urology Clinic in Istanbul to enquire about congenital penile curvature surgery. Because this is a permanent and irreversible procedure, I asked detailed questions about the surgical technique, expected outcomes (including possible length loss and sensation changes), and examples of similar cases treated by the surgeon. Communication was handled through a patient coordinator named Diyaz-Yazdan, who introduced himself as a medical doctor assistant working with Prof. Dr. Taş Urology, Andrology & Oncology Clinic. I was told that my case had been discussed with the surgeon Prof. Dr. Taş. I was also informed in voice messages that the surgeon is considered among the “top 50 surgeons in the world.” However, when I later attempted to verify this claim independently, I was unable to find publications, articles, or sources confirming this. When I asked to see before-and-after examples of patients with a similar downward curvature to mine, I was only sent one image and then referred back to a marketing image from the clinic’s website. I was told they could not share their archive of cases due to privacy reasons. While I understand privacy concerns, many surgeons are able to present anonymised examples of previous work during consultations. In this case, no additional examples were provided. I was also told that certain techniques used by the clinic could correct curvature “without leaving visible scars.” When I asked for more information, references, or supporting material about these techniques, no further details or links were provided. The coordinator stated that the surgeon had reviewed my case, but despite this I was unable to receive clear answers to a number of my questions. Communication also became inconsistent, with messages unanswered for long periods despite the coordinator appearing active online. During the conversation I was eventually told “I think we are not the right clinic for your expectations.” After this, my request was closed. As a patient simply trying to understand a complex and permanent surgical procedure before making a decision, this was disappointing. Because this surgery permanently alters anatomy and cannot easily be reversed, I felt it was important to fully understand the surgeon’s experience, techniques, and case outcomes before proceeding. Unfortunately I was not able to obtain that level of clarity or supporting information. As part of my own research, I also tried to verify the surgeon’s experience specifically with penile curvature correction and related reconstructive procedures. While the clinic advertises treatments such as penile prosthesis and other men’s health surgeries, I personally could not find independent publications, surgical papers, or conference presentations demonstrating specific experience in penile curvature surgery. For that reason I decided not to proceed with Safe Urology Clinic in Istanbul for penile curvature surgery. I would strongly encourage anyone researching Safe Urology or penile curvature surgery in Turkey to carry out thorough research, ask detailed questions, and ensure they are completely confident in the surgeon’s specific experience before making a decision. This review reflects my personal experience when contacting the clinic for consultation.
