How Much Does Urethroplasty Cost in Istanbul?
Urethroplasty in Istanbul typically costs from $5,000. Prices depend on the surgical technique used, the length of the urethral stricture, and the choice of tissue graft. Patients save around 67% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $21,500 on average. Most Istanbul clinics provide packages including surgery, anesthesia, preoperative tests, and local transfers.
- Technique complexity: Substitution urethroplasty using grafts tends to cost 30-40% more than end-to-end anastomosis.
- Robotic assistance: Use of the da Vinci system at advanced centers typically adds a premium over standard surgery.
- Uretheroplasty: from $5,000 for structural repairs within the urinary tract.
- Ureteral stenting: from $900 for maintaining urine flow during the healing process.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul is the primary destination for robotic reconstructive urology in Turkey, concentrating more da Vinci systems than any other Turkish city. This density allows centers like Medipol Mega and Memorial Bahçelievler to maintain lower fees for robot-assisted techniques. High-volume specialists like Prof. Dr. Barış Nuhoğlu offer personalized reconstructive plans that often integrate diagnostic screening without adding significant administrative overhead.

My coordinator stayed in touch and was supportive through the process.
However, the doctor inspired confidence initially but his performance was very poor. During the consultation, he minimized all the risks and made everything seem very simple, he was like a salesman. In the surgery room he realized that he couldn’t do the surgery he planned for me, and he did to me a totally different surgery just for the sake of money. Instead of solving my problem he added more horrible problems to my life.
Bedsides the fact that I payed for on surgery and received another one, what he did was harmful to my body with a very negative impact on my life and my mental health. I feel worse. On top of this, I had to pay for some transfers due to car unavailability. My advice is to be very careful in discussions with the doctor; ask as many questions as possible and trust your gut feeling when making a big decision.

Anonymous • Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate
Sep 26, 2026
The care I received on-site was excellent
The most important thing for future patients to know is to be prepared for new realities. I came ready for a laser enucleation operation for my medium-sized prostate, but I ended up undergoing a steam ablation procedure instead after my consultation. My surgeon was very good. He clearly explained the urination improvement timeline, which was quite reassuring as I begin my recovery. Although there has been little contact from the clinic since I left, the care I received on-site was excellent. My main advice is to go in with an open mind, as your final treatment plan might be different from what you initially expected.

I had a great experience from start to finish; the staff were polite, professional, and very helpful
The professor’s jokes helped me feel relaxed before the procedure. That supportive feeling was consistent throughout. I had a great experience from start to finish; the staff were polite, professional, and very helpful. A special mention has to go to Ibrohim, who was incredibly helpful throughout my stay, translating everything and regularly checking in after the procedure. The cryoablation addressed multiple nerve branches, and I'm healing with a clean, minimal scar. If like me you have tried all other options, then give it a go, as it’s the safer option than the dorsal neurectomy. I felt genuinely well looked after.
I had a great experience from start to finish. The staff were polite, professional and very helpful. The professor did his best with the English he knew to reassure me, and his jokes helped me feel relaxed before the procedure.
A special mention has to go to Ibrohim, who was incredibly helpful throughout my stay. He translated everything, recommended places to visit, rearranged my airport transport when I stayed an extra day, and regularly checked in after the procedure to make sure I was okay and didn't need anything.
I felt genuinely well looked after throughout the whole experience and would definitely recommend the clinic.

I warmly recommend professor to all the patients who need a really skilled doctor who is always willing to do his best for helping! He has in addition, very kind and generous personality!
My sincere thanks goes further to coordinator Alisher and translator Gulnaz.
Alisher is a perfect example of the right person on the right place. He possess executive management skills and it is a pleasure to communicate with him.

Last but not least I want to express my sincere gratitude to translator Gulnaz! Gulnaz is extremely talented, professional, kind and supportive person ! She is the person you will be happy to meet when you are far from home and need help to understand a different language. She is like a little sunshine on a rainy day, always kind and smiling and always ready to make you feel better!
The perfect combination of highly skilled people makes really this hospital special.
In addition there are very nice staff on the 7th floor. Both nurses and caregivers are amazing and very helpful. Special thanks to nurse Nestle for her help!

Anonymous • Peyronie's disease
Aug 7, 2026
There was nothing that could have been better
My main concern was the complexity of my case, which required addressing both Peyronie's disease and implanting a prosthesis. The surgeon was excellent. It was a very difficult job, but the two-hour surgery was successful because we followed his recommendations. I'm in early recovery, and while it is highly painful, that was to be expected. The support system was also solid. Communication with my coordinator and interpreter, Ibrohim, was excellent. He was very friendly and reassuring throughout the process, which made a significant difference. There was nothing that could have been better.
The surgeon was excellent, it was a very difficult job : payronies and prosthetic. 2 hour surgery. We followed his recommendations and it was very successful. Highly painful recovery but that is to be expected.
Excellent communications with the coordinator/interpreter
Thank you Ibrohim, very friendly and reassuring

When I considered what could be improved, honestly, nothing came to mind
My coordinator has been incredible through all stages of this process. She checked in daily, sometimes multiple times a day, ensuring every aspect of my treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia was managed well, which made the entire situation so much easier to navigate. I'm still in early recovery. The surgeon, staff, and the clinic itself were all excellent. When I considered what could be improved, honestly, nothing came to mind. The consistent communication and management of the process were that thorough. Everything was handled for me from start to finish with great care.
Coordinator has been amazing at all stages of the process, she's checked in daily or many times daily, made sure all aspects of the process were managed very well and has made the entire experience so much easier to navigate.
Nothing comes to mind - She's been absolutely amazing.

Everything was excellent from start to finish
Everything was excellent from start to finish. We definitely recommend them to anyone looking for treatment in Istanbul. I'm still in early recovery from my HoLEP procedure, but I am feeling much better than I expected to at this stage. It’s a real relief. For my condition, which involved a medium-sized prostate, I was pleased that the catheter was only needed for two days post-op. What also gave us peace of mind was that the final bill was exactly as quoted, with no additional expenses to worry about. The entire process was very straightforward and well-managed.

I’m glad I chose this team for my care and would absolutely do so again
My biggest worry was the complexity of the procedure itself, especially since it turned out I needed a Vasoepididymostomy. However, the surgeon was very clear and reassuring from the first consultation. That put me at ease. The clinic staff were consistently supportive, and the entire process felt organized and professional. Recovery is a journey, and while there's still some healing to do, I feel like I was in very capable hands. Everything went smoothly. I’m glad I chose this team for my care and would absolutely do so again.

The result is already better than expected
What worried me most was how the final length would turn out, but the result is already better than expected. The team was faultless. My incision for the 3-piece Rigicon implant is healing cleanly, though the most difficult part of recovery has been just trying to sit comfortably. The clinic facility itself is why I gave a lower rating; it’s functional but feels dated. This did not detract from the quality of the medical attention, however. Based on the care from the staff and the surgeon, I would direct others here.
The whole experience overall was great. Dr Bugra Cetin made himself available throughout my time in Istanbul, when he wasn't in surgery, that made my trip easy. The staff at Bookimed addressed all my concerns day and night, with taxi, clinic and still with my recovery while back home. I got with my local Urologist for them to have a look at my surgical area and they were happy with the results so far and said everything looks perfect! Thanks Dr. Cetin and Team!
None, for Bookimed. Anytime I did have any issue with hotel and taxi service, the staff was spot on.

Alina Popova works at the highest level — communication is extremely polite and professional
Alina Popova works at the highest level — communication is extremely polite and professional. She managed to solve my problem in an incredibly short timeframe. Thanks to her, I will recommend your service and Alina personally. Her client-oriented approach and ability to empathize with the patient’s situation allow me to declare that, through her dedication, she helps people not only with their direct requests but also as a bonus — on a moral and emotional level.
Alina Popova is an outstanding specialist who provided exceptional support both on a moral and professional level. She found the right clinic as quickly as possible, explained everything clearly, and was able to offer support during a difficult time. Human qualities — 100 out of 100, professional knowledge and skills — 200 out of 100. I am extremely satisfied working with Alina.
The amount changed — I ended up paying significantly more than expected, even though I asked ten times whether the price would be fixed. I was very unhappy about this.

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.
Do medical packages in Istanbul include accommodation and transfers?
Medical packages in Istanbul usually include accommodation and VIP transfers for international patients. These all-inclusive bundles cover chauffeur-driven transport from the airport to the hotel and clinic. They also include stays at contracted 4-star or 5-star hotels near the medical facility.
- Transfer services: Private chauffeurs handle all travel between the airport, hotel, and hospital appointments.
- Hotel stays: Packages often include 3 to 7 nights at partner hotels with breakfast.
- Clinical support: Personal coordinators and interpreters assist patients throughout their medical journey.
- Hospital monitoring: Overnight stays for post-surgical monitoring are typically bundled into the total price.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul clinics like Hisar Hospital Intercontinental often include airport transfers for all international patients. Still, some packages — for example, urethroplasty at Memorial hospitals — focus strictly on medical services. You can often save about 67% compared to the US, where costs average $21,500. Always verify whether hotel nights are bundled or offered as a discounted add-on before booking.
Patient Consensus: Patients often mention the convenience of a driver waiting at the airport. It removes the stress of navigating a large city like Istanbul after a long flight.
What techniques do urologists in Istanbul use for urethroplasty?
Urologists in Istanbul perform urethroplasty using reconstructive methods like buccal mucosa grafting, end-to-end anastomosis, and staged repairs. These techniques follow European Association of Urology standards. Surgeons use open or endoscopic approaches to treat urethral strictures based on length, location, and tissue quality.
- Substitution urethroplasty: Uses buccal mucosa grafts from the cheek as the gold standard for long strictures.
- End-to-end anastomosis: Excises scarred segments and joins healthy ends for short strictures under 2 cm.
- Two-stage procedures: Uses Johanson-type reconstruction for complex cases or severely compromised urethral beds.
- Internal urethrotomy: Offers a minimally invasive endoscopic alternative for specific stricture types at Memorial hospitals.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Internal urethrotomy is often available for around _op_964_city_107$7,000. Even so, many high-volume Istanbul centers point out that open urethroplasty lasts longer. Clinics like Anadolu Medical Center benefit from Johns Hopkins affiliations, so their reconstructive protocols match top US academic standards.
Patient Consensus: Patients say urethroplasty is a lasting fix compared to temporary dilations. Most appreciate that surgeons like those at Hisar Hospital adapt techniques mid-surgery to make sure the repair is tension-free.
