How Much Does Appendectomy Cost in Turkey?

The cost of an appendectomy in Turkey typically ranges from $1,800 to $3,200. The final price depends on whether the surgery is laparoscopic or open, the hospital’s reputation, and the surgeon’s experience. In the United States, the average price is $22,500 (per AHRQ). That means appendectomy costs in Turkey are about 89% lower than in the U.S.

In Turkey, the price usually covers pre-op blood tests, anesthesia, the surgical procedure, hospital stay (1–2 days), medications, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., surgeon fees, anesthesia, and hospital charges are often billed separately, and follow-up care may cost extra. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic or hospital.

Her coordination efforts were astounding as she was able to contact the hospital and coordinate all activities with short notice
Bookimed was a tremendous help to me. Dr Hanna was an amazing coordinator. She helped answer all my questions, looked for different hospitals and pricing, and always responded to me the same day. Her coordination efforts were astounding as she was able to contact the hospital and coordinate all activities with short notice. I truly appreciated her help and support throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend Bookimed for anyone seeking affordable healthcare and quality service. Very happy with my results.
Dr Hanna’s support and coordination. It was truly an effortless experience knowing she was there to help meet all my needs. Her support gave me the comfort in using health services outside the US.
Nothing major. Took a little time to get my final report (about a week). The doctors assistant was apparently sick but I was happy regardless since the results of the colonoscopy and endoscopy were given immediately after the procedure.
About Bookimed service
Bookimed was the ultimate reason I chose to seek medical services outside the US. They made the experience well coordinated and trouble free. Dr Hanna was super responsive and willing to help in any way possible. I was able to get a response the same day (often times within a few seconds of asking). I was very happy with Bookimed and recommend it to anyone looking for healthcare abroad. Kudos to the whole team for making it a great experience.

Personally, I was satisfied 👍
Honest review!!! Had a gastrochecap! I was satisfied with the procedure! Fast, competent, everything was clear and accessible! The price is average (in Germany, for example, the same procedure is three times more expensive 🤷‍♂️)! The whole procedure lasted 20 minutes under sedation! Results and recommendations were immediately within 5 minutes after the procedure! During the procedure (endoscopy and colonoscopy) I did not feel the slightest discomfort! I can confidently recommend this clinic! Personally, I was satisfied 👍
Quickness of service delivery!

We feel in safe hands
We returned to the hospital for an unplanned, emergency visit after my father's usual post-transplant check ups. I can't thank enough Aliser for being so helpful and available in arranging everything last minute (on a Sunday!). The doctor's expertise and empathy is second to none. I would especially like to thank our surgeon Dr. Yuzer and Dr. Ahmet for their expertise, kind support and care. We feel in safe hands.

If necessary, I will come again! Thank you
Service in a foreign country is especially important, and when you are contacted every minute, there is no stress. The car pick-up and all the subsequent movements in the clinic - everything is clear and to the point. If necessary, I will come again! Thank you. For a job well done!
Liked that the doctor understood my problem and will address it, it takes time.
It's been good.

- The doctor seems to be experienced, he seems to have told everything, he gave answers to our questions
The organization was a success, transfer, hotel reservation. The doctor seems to be experienced, he seems to have told everything, he gave answers to our questions, but it seems that he didn’t get into our problem, it’s clear that this is his daily work, but for some reason it seemed that they would give us more time and take care of our issue more closely, but our expectations are our problems. They were not in the hospital, there was only a diagnosis.

FAQ about Appendectomy 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 the level of medicine in Turkey?

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Turkish government. The Turkish authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 77 billion liras for healthcare annually.

As a result, 28,000 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. About 50 centers have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

What hotel services are provided here?

In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

When is the best time to travel to Turkey?

The main advantage of Turkish resorts is the long beach season. On the Mediterranean coast, it starts in April and lasts until November. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea — from May to October. The most comfortable time for swimming is from mid-June to the end of October. A large influx of tourists is in July-August, when the air temperature is +38°C, and the water warms up to +27°C.

Do I need a visa?

In 2020, the Republic of Turkey has visa-free agreements with 89 states. Some foreigners are exempted from obtaining entry visas, others are required to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa), and still others must apply for a visa at Turkish missions abroad.
