Testicular cancer Treatment in Urologica Clinic
About the clinic
Urologica Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, provides specialized care for testicular cancer through a multidisciplinary team of urologists and oncologists. The facility holds JCI and ISO 9001 accreditations and operates as a Rigicon Global Reference Center. A major advantage for patients is the high cure rate, which exceeds 95% for early-stage cases treated with standard surgical methods.
Treatment is led by Prof. Dr. Özkan Onuk, a professor of urology and urological oncology. Prof. Dr. Onuk has over 20 years of experience and has performed 3,000+ surgeries. He is a member of the European Association of Urology (EAU) and a faculty member at Biruni University. His expertise covers both standard removal procedures and specialized tissue-sparing techniques.
Diagnostic procedures
The diagnostic process begins with a physical exam and imaging to determine the stage of the tumor. Patients undergo blood tests for tumor markers, including AFP, beta-hCG, and LDH. These markers help monitor the disease and response to treatment. The clinic offers several imaging tools:
- Scrotal ultrasound. This is the first step to identify the mass.
- CT and MRI scans. These help check if the cancer has spread.
- Sperm banking consultation. This helps patients preserve fertility before starting treatment.
Treatment and surgical options
The primary treatment for testicular cancer is surgery. The medical team chooses the method based on the tumor size and location. The clinic uses a multidisciplinary approach, coordinating urology with medical and radiation oncology for post-surgical care. Options include:
- Radical inguinal orchiectomy. The surgeon removes the testis and the spermatic cord through an inguinal incision. This is the standard curative treatment. Patients typically stay in the hospital for one night or get discharged the same day. Recovery takes two to four weeks.
- Partial orchiectomy. This testis-sparing surgery involves removing only the tumor with safe margins. It preserves healthy tissue to maintain hormonal function and fertility. This is an option for selected cases and requires a one-night hospital stay.
Urologica Clinic supports international patients with remote follow-up monitoring after they return home. The clinic provides free airport transfers and interpreter services in English and Arabic. You can request a consultation for a personalized treatment plan through Bookimed.

Urological Oncology and Kidney Cancer Care
The oncology department treats kidney, bladder, and prostate cancers. For kidney cancer, the clinic reports a 90% cure rate for early-stage (T1–T2) tumors. Surgeons perform partial nephrectomy to spare healthy tissue when possible.
Treatment follows a multidisciplinary approach. The surgical team coordinates with medical oncology, radiation oncology, and pathology specialists. Kidney cancer patients typically stay 3–5 days. Full return to normal activities usually takes 4–6 weeks.
For bladder cancer, the clinic offers several diagnostic and therapeutic procedures:
- TURBT (transurethral resection of bladder tumor)
- Fluorescence cystoscopy for precise tumor detection
- Radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive disease
- Intravesical chemotherapy and BCG therapy
Advanced imaging supports diagnostic accuracy. The clinic uses MR-fusion biopsy for prostate cancer. This technology combines MRI scans with real-time ultrasound for precise tissue sampling.
Male Sexual Health and BPH Treatments
Urologica specializes in treating erectile dysfunction and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). The clinic uses HoLEP technology for enlarged prostates of all sizes. This holmium laser technique separates the adenoma from the capsule without external incisions.
HoLEP requires just 1–2 days in hospital. The clinic reports a recurrence risk below 1%. Other BPH options include GreenLight laser vaporization and TURP.
For male sexual health, the clinic specializes in 3-piece inflatable penile implants. These implants provide a natural appearance and sensation. Brands include Boston Scientific, Coloplast, and Rigicon. A four-stage recovery plan guides patients from surgery to implant activation at 6 weeks.
Technologies and Diagnostic Equipment
The surgical suites support robotic, laparoscopic, and endoscopic procedures. The team uses the Da Vinci Robotic System for complex urological surgeries. This allows smaller incisions and faster recovery.
Diagnostic capabilities include:
- Urodynamics to assess bladder and urethral function
- Color Doppler ultrasound of the scrotum
- Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)
- Narrow band imaging (NBI) for cystoscopy
The clinic also offers non-surgical therapies. These include P-Shot (Priapus Shot) and shock wave therapy (ESWT) for vascular-related erectile dysfunction.

Urologica provides structured support for patients traveling from abroad. Staff coordinate airport transfers and hotel accommodations. Language support is available in English and Arabic.
International patients receive remote follow-up to monitor recovery after returning home. The clinic offers free pre-evaluation via WhatsApp, so specialists can review medical history before travel. Follow-up check-ups are scheduled at 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year.
