• Testicular biopsy. This specialized diagnostic procedure may cost around $1,000 to $3,000.

Surgical treatment methods

When polycystic kidney disease reaches an advanced stage, surgical removal of the kidney may be necessary. The clinic focuses on techniques that reduce pain and help patients return to their routines faster.

• Laparoscopic nephrectomy. The surgeon removes the kidney through small incisions using a camera. This surgery takes about 2 hours under general anesthesia and requires a 4-day hospital stay.
• Robotic-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy. This method uses a robotic console for greater precision and maneuverability. Like the standard laparoscopic approach, it involves a 4-day hospital stay and 2 hours of surgery.
• Donor nephrectomy. This procedure is used for living-donor kidney transplantation. It allows a healthy individual to donate a kidney to a patient in need.

Recovery and patient support

Most patients spend 4 days in the hospital following a nephrectomy. Full recovery usually takes about 4 weeks before a patient returns to work. To help international patients, the clinic provides VIP airport transfers and hotel accommodation. Multilingual support is available throughout the stay in Istanbul to help with communication during the medical process.
