Kamil Yalcin Polat
Prof. Dr. Kamil Yalçın Polat has performed 900 kidney transplants over 35 years of experience, pioneering Turkey's first robotic kidney transplant. The procedure may cost around $18,000 – typically covering surgery, 7 nights for the patient, 3 nights for the donor, compatibility tests, and transfers. Memorial Bahçelievler maintains a 99% success rate with 300+ transplants annually. The JCI-accredited hospital offers both classical and robot-assisted approaches using the Da Vinci system.
