About the clinic
The nipple-preserving mastectomy is a breast cancer surgery available at Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The all-inclusive package may cost around €17,000 and combines removal, reconstruction, and essential hospital services. The clinic's key advantage is its Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation and comprehensive package for international patients.
Memorial Bahçelievler is part of the large Memorial Healthcare Group. It holds both JCI and ISO accreditations, ensuring international care standards. The hospital also has a unique design as Turkey's first LEED Platinum certified "green hospital". This eco-friendly environment is intended to support patient comfort and recovery.
Surgical Procedure and Package
The primary procedure is a nipple-preserving mastectomy. It is often combined with a sentinel lymph node biopsy. This helps determine if cancer has spread. Immediate breast reconstruction with an implant is included in the main package.
The surgical team uses advanced techniques for accuracy. A gamma probe helps locate the sentinel lymph node. Intraoperative frozen-section analysis provides rapid pathology results during surgery. This allows for immediate decisions.
The standard package is designed to cover most needs. It includes:
- Surgery and anesthesia
- Ward hospitalization for the stay
- Pre-operative consultations and necessary tests
- Standard medications during the hospital stay
- The first follow-up consultation after discharge
Patient Journey and Support
Treatment planning starts with a comprehensive diagnostic workup. This can include PET-CT, breast MRI, and pathology review. A multidisciplinary team discusses each case to create a personalized plan.
The hospital provides extensive support for international patients. This simplifies the logistics of traveling for care. Included services are:
- Airport-hotel-hospital transfer services
- Interpretation support during hospital visits
- Translation of medical reports into English
The total recommended stay in Istanbul depends on the individual treatment plan. Patients need to bring full medical documentation for an on-site consultation. Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital maintains a 4.6/5 rating based on patient reviews.
