Lokman Hekim Istanbul Hospital
Laser lithotripsy in Istanbul typically costs from $3,200 to $3,200, depending on stone size, location, and the specific laser technology used. Patients save around 79% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $12,000 on average. In Istanbul, prices usually include preoperative blood tests, specialist consultations, surgeon fees, and standard hospital stay.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul is Turkey's primary hub for endourology, hosting more JCI-accredited hospitals than Ankara or Antalya. High patient volumes allow clinics to invest in technologies like holmium lasers while keeping costs competitive. For example, Professor Ozkan Onuk has performed over 1,000 kidney stone surgeries, and Anadolu Medical Center features specialists certified in advanced urodynamics. Choosing a multi-specialty hospital like Hisar Hospital Intercontinental provides the benefit of 61 integrated departments, ensuring any necessary secondary care is available in one location without logistical delays.
