Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul serves as Turkey's primary hub for complex cardiovascular surgery, offering more JCI-accredited facilities than Ankara or other regional peers. Many centers maintain high-volume expertise, with surgeons like Mustafa Guden or Ali Fedakar having performed over 4,000 to 5,000 procedures each. Choosing clinics with established Da Vinci robotic systems, such as Istanbul Florence Nightingale, provides access to advanced techniques at a fraction of Western costs.
