Nephrectomy is the surgical removal of a kidney, performed at Safe Urology Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey. The procedure is led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tuncay Taş, a specialist trained in urological oncology at the University of Heidelberg. This clinic focuses on minimally invasive methods to help patients recover faster and with less discomfort.
The clinic specializes in laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgeries. These methods use small incisions of about half an inch instead of one large cut. This helps reduce pain and blood loss during the operation. Patients may receive one of the following treatments:
Partial nephrectomy is often the preferred choice for single tumors under 4 cm. For larger tumors over 10 cm or those involving veins, the surgeon will determine the safest approach for each case.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tuncay Taş brings high-level expertise as a member of the European Association of Urology. He holds a fellowship from Germany in laparoscopic urology and urological oncology. The medical team at the clinic has over 10 years of experience and performs 30+ operations every month. All surgeries take place at JCI-accredited partner hospitals. These facilities follow strict international standards for safety and infection control.
The surgery typically takes 2 hours under general anesthesia. Patients spend 4 days in the hospital for monitoring. The total stay in Istanbul is usually around 7 days.

Dr. Taş and his team performed the first PRP (P-Shot) and double PRP applications to the penis in Turkey, and published their clinical results on the efficacy of PRP in erectile dysfunction.
The team also achieved several national firsts in the field of regenerative urology and andrology:
Dr. Taş was among the first three physicians in Turkey (since 2012) to perform FDA-approved ED-1000 shock wave therapy, pioneering its scientific and clinical application for erectile dysfunction and vascular regeneration.
Dr. Taş and his team presented the results of combined PRP (Male P-Shot) and SVF applications to the penis for the first time in Turkey at a scientific congress, sharing the clinical outcomes of these regenerative therapies. He leads one of the first five centers worldwide to publish peer-reviewed clinical results of PRP (P-Shot) therapy and serves as a urology instructor at ISSCA, remaining actively involved in clinical regenerative medicine.
