My companion and I were treated with such kindness — I have nothing but admiration for the entire team.
The staff at the hospital were all attentive to my needs and offered excellent service. Even though sometimes there was a communication barrier, they all provided me with the best treatment possible tending to all my needs. They were empathetic and sympathetic. I would recommend this hospital for any procedure you might need. The comfort level and cleanliness of the rooms was great. The fact that a family member could stay with you while you recover was indeed a nice touch as you need a familiar face during this time.
Overall, my experience was superb and I would recommend hospital and doctor with his support staff. Service provided was 1000/10.
Service and care provided by hospital staff was excellent.
In general satisfied with everything, Therefore, I can safely recommend it
I chose this clinic after reading and looking at reviews. High-tech equipment and the approach of doctors, according to reviews in clinics in other countries offered removal of an organ such as kidney, in this clinic on the contrary to do everything possible to save, so I decided, in my country and in neighbouring Russia I could not make a diagnosis or explain what is there, suspicion of neoplasm, but I did not get a specific answer after all the examinations, here in Fuda clarified everything and explained in detail, made a complete examination, equipment is high level, in general satisfied with everything, p Therefore, I can safely recommend it.
When the test results came back and the doctor was happy to tell me everything was fine.
It's basically fine.
About Bookimed service
I found out about the clinic by calling bookimed Julia explained everything very well and in detail. She organised my trip, was in touch with me all the time, supported me if I had any doubts and thanked me very much.
But I really liked the Bukimed service - they helped, supported, organised everything in the best possible way
There are certain issues with the hospital, in particular, the staff who are in no hurry and we had to spend the whole day in the hospital instead of a few hours - we waited, waited, and waited again..... But I really liked the Bukimed service - they helped, supported, organised everything in the best possible way. Thank you.
Overall, the hospital is good
Perhaps it's due to a different mentality, but we didn't really like waiting endlessly - no procedure or appointment started on time, no one is in a hurry and no one appreciates other people's time.

Thanks to Dr
I had an excellent experience at VM Hospital, and I am incredibly grateful to Dr. İBRAHİM KADIOĞLU for his outstanding care and expertise. From the moment I entered the hospital, I was impressed by the clean and welcoming environment, as well as the professionalism of the staff.
Dr. Ibrahim is truly remarkable. He took the time to thoroughly explain my inquiries , answer all my questions, and ensure I felt comfortable throughout the process. His compassion, knowledge, and attention to detail made a significant difference in my treatment and recovery.
Thanks to Dr. Ibrahim and the wonderful team at VM Hospital. I highly recommend this hospital to anyone seeking top-notch medical care. Thank you once again, Dr. Ibrahim, for your dedication and kindness!
Excellent clinic, attentive and meticulous (in a good sense) doctors
Bookimed staff and interpreters accompanied us every step of the way, we got answers to all our questions.
Comfortable room for the patient and the attendant (in our case) Excellent clinic, attentive and meticulous (in a good sense) doctors. The medical staff also, put all the drips, served and made all the analyses on schedule. All promptly and without unnecessary questions.
Tasty and nourishing food was provided for both the patient and the attendant.
On the territory of the hospital is a beautiful small park for walking, as well as in the clinic itself there are many places for rest and waiting
The clinic met all expectations and costs
What I liked most was the competence and attentiveness of the doctors
I introduced many patients to other medical tourism companies but most of them were not honest such as
Bookinghealth.com they did fraud with our patients so finally I found an excellent company by the name of bookimed.com Iam the client
Of bookimed.com since 5 years and all of my patients are satisfied from its staffs and services so as a doctor I recommend bookimed.com to choose as a right a guaranteed company in the term of your health ….

I am very happy that I had the opportunity to have surgery at this clinic and I do not regret anything
I had a very pleasant experience. The nurses were very caring and nice to me, they always asked me how I was feeling. The doctor did an excellent job, I liked the way he communicated with me and the attention he had. The surgery was very successful, the result is very good, I am very happy that I had the opportunity to have surgery at this clinic and I do not regret anything. I highly recommend this clinic because everyone is very nice and professional
I really liked the professionalism of the medical team and the doctor.
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!

Thanks to her, I chose Asklepios Barmbek Clinic in Germany and I have not regretted it one bit!
With great gratitude I would like to leave this review about the Bookimed team, and in particular about my coordinator Olga Romaniuk, who helped me with the choice of clinic, carefully considering all my requests and nuances of future treatment, was always in touch with me. Olga has a high level of empathy and desire to really help! Thanks to her, I chose Asklepios Barmbek Clinic in Germany and I have not regretted it one bit! I was operated on by a talented surgeon Ursula Scholz, who performed the operation with jewellery and professionalism. Conditions in the clinic are quite good, the ward has everything you need, the medical staff is very polite, nurses many times after the operation came into the room and asked if I need anything and everything is fine. Special thanks to the International Department of the clinic and my interpreter Lydia, who accompanied me at all stages of preparation for the operation. I would like to note that all questions concerning payment for medical services were discussed in advance and fully corresponded to the initially agreed amount, with the issuance of relevant documents and cheques. Nobody demanded any preliminary money transfers from me before the initial visit to the clinic. The payment was made in the clinic itself. I would like to summarise my experience with the Bookimed team: if you want to receive qualified medical care abroad, you can really trust the Bookimed team, which works honestly and professionally, as I was convinced by my experience!
My care was very good from start to finish. As soon as I arrived at the hospital, I was greeted by my interpreter and team. They were very friendly, put me at ease and explained what would happen and when. I had checks done and blood taken etc and met the consultant. He was absolutely lovely and again explained the whole procedure. I also met with the Anaesthetist.
My procedure was completed and the care was fantastic from all the staff involved. The room and hospital were great.
I felt like we had VIP treatment.
The Hotel was also nice and everything runs like clockwork.
Thanks to all the team but, especially to Ishmeal, Senna and Doctor Ozturk.
Always being told what was happening. Interpretor always on hand.

Thanks to the attentive customer service, all issues were resolved quickly and professionally.
The diagnostics were carried out with high quality, and I felt supported throughout the entire process. I am very grateful to the Bokimed team for their care, organisation and truly individual approach.

Fast Facts about Rectal resection
Rectal resection
This procedure involves the surgical removal of a portion of the rectum, typically to treat rectal cancer or other rectal diseases.
Pros: Offers a targeted approach for rectal cancer, often preserving bowel function. Minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic surgery can result in quicker recovery and less postoperative pain.
Cons: Higher risk of complications such as infection or bowel dysfunction compared to hemicolectomy. Requires skilled surgical expertise, which may not be available in all centers.
Effectiveness: Success rate in achieving cancer-free margins can reach up to 90% in early-stage rectal cancers.
Duration: 2-4 hours
Recovery: 4-6 weeks
Best for: Treating rectal cancer, especially in early stages, and addressing rectal polyps larger than 2 cm.
Rectal cancer management depends on the extent of tumor, its stage and proximity to the anus. In most cases, surgeons preserve patient’s quality of life and ability to carry out self-care. The success rate of tumor treatment in early stages is up to 98%.
Rectal cancer diagnostics
Physicians utilize the following diagnostic methods to determine tumor size, its location and metastatic spread:
PET-CT scan;
MRI;
biopsy;
ultrasound;
palpation;
anoscopy.
physical exam;
Indications and contraindications for rectal cancer surgery
There are following indications for rectal tumor surgery:
the tumor is operable;
the procedure doesn’t pose any risks to patient’s health;
cancer is localized in the rectum;
chemo- and radio therapies do not yield needed effect.
Contraindications for the operation include:
poor overall health condition of a patient;
cancer has spread to other organs;
severe infections (HIV, hepatitis);
blood pathologies that may affect clotting (anemia).
Types of rectal cancer surgery
Surgery is the main and the most effective tumor treatment option. The type of preferred operation depends on tumor localization and its size.
Local resection surgery is performed for patients with early stages of cancer. The tumor and margin tissues around it are removed. This operation is performed without making incisions - through patient’s anal cavity. The procedure doesn’t put patient’s body under much stress and preserves all its functions. Postoperative recovery in a hospital takes up to 1 week.
After the operation, physicians study the margin tissue to determine whether cancer was removed completely.
Abdominoperineal resection also referred to as APR for rectal cancer. Physicians perform this operation for patients with late stages of the disease, when other management options are ineffective. During the procedure, a part of patient’s colon, rectum, and anus are removed. In some cases surgeons also remove adjacent lymph nodes while performing APR for rectal cancer to prevent cancer spreading.
This rectal cancer surgery is complex, performed under general anesthesia. Surgeons make an incision in patient’s abdomen to access cancerous focus points.
Then surgeons make an opening in the stomach and connect the end of the bowel to it. It is called a stoma. A special bag is attached to the opening for stool collection. This way patients will be able to empty their stomachs.
Low anterior resection, also known as LAR rectal cancer surgery. During this operation, physicians remove tumors in the upper part of the rectum. It is applied for stage 1 cancer, rarer - for stages 2-3. During the intervention, a part of the rectum containing tumor is removed. The colon is then sewn to the remaining part of the rectum.
Patients who don’t require colostomy after the procedure may need ileostomy. This manipulation has the same intent as colostomy but is completely reversible. Patients need it for a period of up to 8 weeks while the rectum recovers after LAR rectal cancer surgery.
The operation is performed by a team of surgeons in 2-3 hours. A patient stays under general anesthesia. Hospitalization lasts for up to 7 days, rehabilitation takes 4-7 weeks.
