How Much Does Оophorectomy Cost in Istanbul?

Оophorectomy in Istanbul typically costs from $3,800 to $7,200. The final price depends on the surgical method, such as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted techniques, and whether the surgery is for benign conditions or oncology. Patients save around 91% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $35,000 on average. Most Istanbul clinics include preoperative tests, surgeon fees, and airport transfers in their surgery packages.

  • Laparoscopic approach: Often serves as the standard for minimally invasive ovary removal in Turkey.
  • Robotic-assisted surgery: Typically adds 25-35% to the base cost due to specialized equipment.
  • Cancer-related surgery: Usually requires more extensive staging and often results in higher total costs.
  • Clinic tier: JCI-accredited facilities in central Istanbul often charge a premium for their international departments.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul hospitals lead Turkey in gynecological oncology cases, often providing access to robotic Da Vinci platforms. Clinics like Memorial Bahçelievler maintain LEED Platinum certification while offering the same surgical technology as US centers. For the best value, look for doctors like Assoc. Prof. Esra Ozbasli, who holds a Da Vinci Console Surgeon certificate and bundles hotel arrangements into the surgical price.

The staff were a definite highlight, providing excellent support and guidance throughout the PET-CT with Gallium 68 PSMA scan
I came away with a positive overall impression of the day. The staff were a definite highlight, providing excellent support and guidance throughout the PET-CT with Gallium 68 PSMA scan. They made me feel looked after. The doctor was professional and the clinic itself was well-equipped. My only negative, and the reason for a lower overall score, was the airport transfer. The taxi was difficult for me to get in and out of. More importantly, upon arrival at the airport, I could not find the driver at the designated meeting point, which created unnecessary stress. While the medical care was handled very well, the logistics of the transport could be improved.

The surgeon was excellent
What surprised me most about my basalioma treatment wasn't the procedure itself, but the detailed skin examination I received. The surgeon was excellent. He made sure all removal options were discussed clearly, which was reassuring since I already had my diagnosis before arriving. Right now, the treated area is healing very well. While the medical care was superb and the clinic facilities are great, the administrative staff seemed a bit disorganized, which was the only downside. Despite that, based on the surgeon’s work, it’s a place I would suggest to others.
My Bookimed coordinator was highly skilled, had the passion and patience for her work and that translated to the numerous array of options provided to me to choose from based on my budget during the entire process.She interacted with me 24/7 just for us to have solution within my schedule. All information (proforma, visa assistance, travel guidance and estimated personal expenses) for the entire treatment were on point and I encourage all manner of persons seeking medical treatment abroad to choose Bookimed as their medical tourism partner.
1. Interpreter only come when the patient calls for his services and that is only during the day. If the interpreter can also support beyond the interactions with the specialist. 2. Airport and Internal movement are left to the patient to handle which can sometimes be a major challenge for some category of patients and given the language barrier. 3. Hospital discharges are very strict even if you the patient feels he/she need additional day(s) to be fit for a return to the hotel to continue the recovery.

It was the right choice
What worried me most was the uncertainty and what the treatment plan would be. But my fears were put to rest after the very first consultation. The doctor was very attentive and explained everything in detail and calmly, which immediately put me at ease. I really appreciate that approach. All the staff at the clinic were responsive and supportive at every stage. The clinic itself made a good impression; everything is well organised. I am currently in the recovery phase and feel much calmer, having a clear understanding of the next steps. It was the right choice.

My main concern before starting treatment was how my body would react to the drug. I’m undergoing a course of Keytruda immunotherapy for kidney cancer, receiving an infusion every three weeks. Yes, I have experienced some side effects. These are mainly digestive issues, and I feel a little more tired. Of course, I am still concerned that these might get worse over time. But I must say that the doctor and all the staff have been very attentive and professional, which gives me confidence that I made the right choice of clinic and treatment process.

When friends ask if I would suggest this clinic to them, my answer is a 10
My biggest worry was finding a surgeon and team I could completely trust for this personal procedure. That concern disappeared quickly. From the first consultation, the surgeon was professional and the staff were consistently kind, which made the whole process feel secure and well-managed. I'm still in the early stages of healing, but the level of care has been excellent. Everything was clear. When friends ask if I would suggest this clinic to them, my answer is a 10. The support has been fantastic.
Coordinator stayed in touch .The clinic exceeded expectations.I wanted to thank Dr. Baris Nuhoglu and his assistant, who took impeccable care of me. They listened to me and resolved a problem that was very serious and causing me discomfort. On May 19th, they gave me a new birth with professionalism, seriousness, and empathy.I have e big gratitude and deep respect to Dr. Baris and his team, and I wish to return in a few months for a check-up and, who knows, maybe for another new treatment.😁😉👍

Thank Allah that we met him and he did a good surgery
Many thanks to Dr Bora Basharan and Alisher Durdiev! Diagnosis: carcinoma on the tongue. Alisher was very helpful with the choice and full support during the treatment. He gave us confidence in choosing Dr Bora Basharan by telling us about his professionalism and humanity. The most important thing for Alisher was the patient's health and to organise the diagnosis/surgery so that the patient gets the best results. We are very happy about this. We could not decide on the treatment (we were waiting for answers from South Korea) and Alisher did not give up to provide us with doctor's answers, answer our many questions and help with organisation. His ability to speak excellent Russian helped a lot in communication. The first meeting organised by Alisher went well. The doctor explained everything about the surgery and gave us peace of mind due to his experience as a highly specialised ENT surgeon in oncology. The operation went well and the follow up health checks. The recovery is good. We read many positive reviews online about Dr Bor Basharan which gave us more confidence. The reviews are true. After the surgery we were given a room with excellent food and the recovery was good. Thank Allah that we met Alisher and Dr Bora Basharan, for his golden hands, good surgery and organisation. Thank you very much again! Good health to all!

The diagnostic stage was conducted at a high professional level
If you are currently looking for a place to undergo a CT scan and considering different options, let me share my experience. From the very beginning, the interaction was set up very efficiently. All organizational issues were resolved quickly, coordinators were in touch and provided all the necessary information, which helped to avoid unnecessary stress. Everything at the clinic went according to plan. No delays. The staff acted professionally and cohesively, from registration to the procedure itself. The equipment looked modern, and the environment was calm and clean, which also matters. The doctor who analyzed the images provided clear and understandable explanations of the results. I am still in the recovery process, but the diagnostic stage was conducted at a high professional level. I had no complaints.

My biggest concern before the operation was the recovery period, but now, 15 days after the prosthetic testicle implant surgery, I can say that things are going as expected. I received a small prosthesis measuring 3.5 cm; although I’m not sure of the brand, I’m satisfied with it.

Good afternoon! I would like to leave a review: I would like to express my sincere gratitude to your company for the impeccable organisation of my examination. Every stage was thought out down to the smallest detail, which allowed me to feel completely safe and comfortable. Special thanks to the doctors — Dr. Bülent and Dr. Kemal. They are top-level specialists whose attention to detail and professionalism command deep respect. I really appreciate the thorough approach they took to my diagnosis. I would also like to thank the coordinator, Seda, for her sensitivity, and the female translators who accompanied me every step of the way and were a real support. I wish you prosperity, and the doctors further success in their noble work. I will confidently recommend you to my friends and family!

FAQ about treatment in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

What is typically included in oophorectomy medical tourism packages in Istanbul?

Oophorectomy packages in Istanbul typically include the surgical procedure, general anesthesia, and pre-operative diagnostics. A hospital stay is also usually included. Most bundles also cover VIP airport transfers, multilingual support, and initial post-operative medications. The surgery is done in JCI-accredited facilities using laparoscopic or robotic techniques.

  • Medical components: Surgeon fees, assistant teams, and operating room use.
  • Pre-operative diagnostics: Blood work, hormonal profiling, and pelvic ultrasounds or MRI scans.
  • Hospitalization stay: Usually 1 to 3 nights in a private room.
  • Logistics support: VIP airport-hotel-clinic transfers and dedicated patient interpreters.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Basic packages focus on the clinical procedure. Premium options, like those at Hisar Hospital Intercontinental or from Assoc. Prof. Dr. Esra Özbaşlı, often bundle scarless v-NOTES surgery and multiple hotel nights. Choosing packages with included transfers is a major advantage in Istanbul. Clinics like Memorial Bahçelievler manage all local transportation, so international patients have less stress.

Patient Consensus: Patients appreciate the smooth coordination of hotel and transfers. However, they stress the importance of getting the exact inclusions in writing. Patients generally find the medical care exceptional. But companion fees and non-breakfast meals usually cost extra.

What surgical techniques are used for oophorectomy in Istanbul clinics?

Istanbul clinics use laparoscopic, robotic-assisted, open, and scarless v-NOTES techniques for oophorectomy. Surgeons at JCI-accredited facilities usually prefer minimally invasive approaches for benign cysts. Complex oncological cases or large tumors may need traditional laparotomy. This allows complete tumor staging or safe removal.

  • Laparoscopic surgery: The main keyhole method for benign conditions, offering faster recovery and smaller scars.
  • Robotic-assisted (da Vinci): Enhanced 3D visualization for complex cases like deep pelvic endometriosis or adhesions.
  • Open surgery (laparotomy): Used for large masses or suspected malignancies requiring a direct view of the abdominal cavity.
  • v-NOTES technique: Scarless approach that removes ovaries through natural orifices without external abdominal incisions.

Bookimed Expert Insight: While robotic surgery is widely marketed, Bookimed data shows that laparoscopic packages, like those at Hisar Hospital Intercontinental, provide excellent value starting at $3,300. For patients with complex needs, clinics like Memorial Bahçelievler combine JCI standards with LEED Platinum-certified environments. This provides specialized surgical precision and modern recovery facilities.

Patient Consensus: Patients advise confirming the specific surgical plan in plain language, especially about ovary-sparing options versus definitive removal. Experts suggest choosing clinics with full hospital backup. This helps handle emergency transitions from keyhole to open surgery if complications arise.

How long do I need to stay in Istanbul after oophorectomy surgery?

Patients should plan to stay in Istanbul for 7 to 10 days after a laparoscopic oophorectomy. This timeframe includes pre-operative screenings, the procedure, and an essential recovery period. A JCI-accredited surgical team will check that you are medically cleared to fly.

  • Procedure duration: Laparoscopic oophorectomies typically require 1 to 2 nights of hospital monitoring.
  • Medical follow-up: You'll have a mandatory checkup around day 7 to confirm your incision is healing well.
  • Flight safety: You can usually fly once you can walk comfortably and show no signs of DVT.
  • Surgical technique: Minimally invasive approaches like v-NOTES or laparoscopic surgery help you leave the hospital sooner.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Basic packages start around $3,800. However, clinics like Hisar Hospital Intercontinental serve over 250,000 patients a year. Their packages often include translation and transfers. High-volume centers have surgical teams experienced in preparing international patients for safe, early travel.

Patient Consensus: Patients often suggest staying 3 to 4 weeks before a long-haul flight to avoid fatigue. Ask for wheelchair assistance at the airport. This is a smart way to manage luggage without straining your abdominal muscles.

What is included in medical tourism packages for oophorectomy in Istanbul?

Medical tourism packages for oophorectomy in Istanbul bundle surgeon fees, anesthesia, and hospital stays at JCI-accredited facilities. This gives you coordinated surgical care. They also usually include preoperative diagnostics, VIP airport transfers, and multilingual translation services. These extras help make sure patients stay safe and comfortable during recovery.

  • Surgical techniques: For cyst removal or oncology, packages include laparoscopic or V-NOTES scarless surgery.
  • Clinical diagnostics: You usually get essential blood panels, pelvic ultrasounds, and pre-anesthesia clearances.
  • Hospitalization care: Packages usually include 1 to 3 nights in a modern private medical center.
  • Logistical support: The package usually covers VIP private transfers between the airport, hotel, and clinic.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul clinics like Hisar Hospital Intercontinental offer oophorectomy packages starting at $3,270. This is far more affordable than the $35,000 US average. These bundles often include VIP transfers. However, they rarely cover prescription medications for home use. So budget about $100–$200 extra for post-discharge pharmacy costs.

Patient Consensus: Patients value the dedicated coordinators who manage schedules. Still, they recommend asking for a written itemized list. This helps you confirm whether pathology and follow-up visits are included.

Why do patients choose Istanbul for an oophorectomy?

Patients choose Istanbul for an oophorectomy. They get high-quality gynecological care and modern technology at significant savings. The city has internationally accredited hospitals and specialized techniques like v-NOTES scarless surgery. It also offers streamlined medical tourism packages. These packages remove the long waiting lists common in Western healthcare systems.

  • Cost efficiency: Prices range from $3,800 to $7,200, saving about 91% versus US averages.
  • Specialized techniques: Surgeons use laparoscopic, robotic-assisted, and scarless v-NOTES methods for faster recovery after surgery.
  • Gold-standard accreditation: Top facilities like Hisar Hospital Intercontinental have Joint Commission International (JCI) certification.
  • High-volume expertise: Specialists like Dr. Esra Ozbasli have experience managing over 10,000 cases.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul hospitals often stand out with technology that reduces noise and patient stress. For instance, Memorial Bahçelievler uses a 3T MRI that is 97% quieter than standard models. When choosing a clinic, focus on those with on-site research laboratories. These clinics often apply the latest clinical data to surgical protocols.

Patient Consensus: Patients appreciate the coordinated logistics, especially the fixed surgery dates that bypass long domestic waitlists. However, they stress the importance of getting the specific procedure details in writing. Written details help patients fully understand the surgical scope before travel.

Which surgical techniques are available for ovary removal in Istanbul?

Istanbul clinics provide oophorectomy techniques including laparoscopic, robotic-assisted, and scarless v-NOTES surgery. Surgeons at JCI-accredited facilities like Hisar Hospital Intercontinental and Memorial Bahçelievler use these minimally invasive methods. These treat ovarian cysts, endometriosis, and gynecological cancers and shorten recovery times.

  • Laparoscopic surgery: Small keyhole incisions mean faster recovery and less pain after surgery.
  • Robotic-assisted approach: The da Vinci system provides 3D visualization for complex oncological staging procedures.
  • v-NOTES technique: This scarless method uses natural orifices for removal without any abdominal incisions.
  • Open laparotomy: Traditional abdominal surgery remains necessary for large malignant masses or extensive adhesions.

Bookimed Expert Insight: While laparoscopy is common, only select centers like Hisar Hospital Intercontinental provide v-NOTES, leaving no visible scars. For robotic surgery, look for specialized surgeons like Assoc. Prof. Dr. Esra Özbaşlı who hold specific console surgeon certifications. These certifications ensure high precision during the procedure.

Patient Consensus: Patients advise confirming whether the procedure includes fallopian tube removal and suggest requesting a written operative plan. This plan will clarify if the approach will be minimally invasive or open before you travel.

How long do I need to stay in Istanbul for oophorectomy and recovery?

Patients should plan to stay in Istanbul for 7 to 10 days for a laparoscopic oophorectomy. This covers pre-op consultations, next-day discharge, and 5 to 7 days of hotel recovery. The recovery period makes air travel safer and helps prevent blood clots.

  • Surgical approach: Minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy or v-NOTES usually allow for next-day hospital discharge.
  • Hospital stay: Expect 1–2 nights of monitoring in Joint Commission International-accredited facilities like Hisar Hospital.
  • Recovery window: Walking is possible the same day. Pain improves noticeably within 24–72 hours.
  • Travel clearance: A follow-up visit 5–7 days after surgery confirms incisions are healing before you fly home.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Clinics may offer next-day discharge. Still, staying in Istanbul for at least 7 days is vital. Complication risks are highest early on. Even so, gas pain from laparoscopic procedures can make flying very uncomfortable. Memorial Bahçelievler sits just 5 minutes from the airport, which helps reduce travel strain during early recovery.

Patient Consensus: Expect gas and shoulder pain to be more disruptive than the incision itself during the first 3 days. Most patients feel functional within a week. They stress the need to arrange help with luggage, as heavy lifting is off-limits for 6 weeks.
