Lobectomy in test — get 3 personalized clinic matches

Dr. Serkan Keskin has published 42 international journal articles and ranked first in the 2012 Turkish medical oncology exam. VATS lobectomy at Memorial Şişli typically costs around $23,000 – covering surgery, anesthesia, 4-day hospitalization, and airport transfers. The JCI-accredited hospital maintains a 90% success rate in organ transplants and specializes in minimally invasive thoracic procedures.

Prof. Dr. Kamil Yalçın Polat, a distinguished transplant surgeon with advanced training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Mount Sinai Hospital, leads the lobectomy program at Memorial Ataşehir Hospital. The JCI-accredited facility specializes in complex surgical oncology cases, including lung resections, with a team experienced in hepatobiliary and thoracic procedures. Prof. Polat's expertise in living-donor liver transplant techniques translates to precise anatomical resections in lung surgery.

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) uses small incisions for a lobectomy and lymph node dissection, minimizing chest trauma. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Erkan Yildirim, a thoracic surgeon with fellowship experience from the Toronto Lung Transplant Program, performs this procedure at the JCI-accredited Hisar Hospital Intercontinental. The package, for approximately $7,320, includes 10 nights standard ward plus 1 night ICU stay, required 3–4 GIA staplers, and a 20-day post-operative stay in Istanbul is recommended. Comprehensive patient support covers transfers, personal translation in 8 languages, and meals for a companion throughout hospitalization.
