Memorial Şişli Hospital

Wedge resection of the lung is a surgical procedure offered at Memorial Şişli Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The VATS (video-assisted thoracoscopy) approach may cost around $13,500 and includes 4-5 days of hospitalization. The hospital is JCI-accredited and led by thoracic surgery specialist Prof. Dr. Çagatay Sait Tezel.

About the Procedure

Wedge resection removes a small, wedge-shaped portion of lung tissue. It is often used for early-stage lung cancer or metastatic tumors. The VATS method uses small incisions and a tiny camera for guidance. This minimally invasive approach reduces recovery time compared to open surgery.

Treatment Package Includes

Surgery and anesthesia
1 day ICU care
4-5 days hospitalization
VATS approach (when suitable)
VIP airport-hotel-clinic transfers
Interpreter services

Hospital and Specialist

Memorial Şişli Hospital holds JCI accreditation since 2002. It maintains a 4.6 rating from 322 patient reviews. Prof. Dr. Tezel specializes in thoracic surgery with expertise in lung metastasectomy cases.

Recovery and Follow-up

Patients typically stay 7-9 days in Turkey for the procedure and initial recovery. The VATS technique allows faster healing than traditional open surgery. Most patients can return home 3-4 days after hospital discharge.

For personalized pricing and surgical recommendations, contact the hospital for a consultation. The final cost may vary based on individual case requirements.

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.

About Bookimed service

I really liked the service, they were very helpful.

Honestly, I'm in awe from this experience

The hospital was fantastic, room was private, with all required amenities, cafe - lovely, everything was beautiful and clean. Staff were just so accommodating, my Doctor was knowledgeable, explained the procedure in detail. Honestly, I'm in awe from this experience. And even though I was coming in with a slight fear and a tiny panic attack, there was really no need to worry, everything is on a highest level! Thanks to all!

Translators were top notch! Everything was amazing, I can't select just one thing.

Had issue with payment, it kept getting rejected and due to this I wasn't admitted right away. But once payment went through, all services followed smoothly.

I got more than value for my money

Memorial is more than a hospital. It is home from home. Very hospitable and caring staff who show a lot of empathy. My one night stay in the hospital was a delightful experience, kind and available staff, every neat and hygienic room. The doctors are on top of their job. I was taken through a lecture in nuclear physics 101, broken in simple language. The lecturer helped allayed my initial fears about the treatment. The treatment was speedy and the results came so quickly. The doctor was by my bedside to explain the next steps. The translator was fantastic. The transportation service was superb, always on time. I got more than value for my money. I will strongly recommend Memorial Sisli Hospital for any person seeking Lu-177 therapy

The ever presence of the medical support to attend to me in deep into the night.

May be the food could be improved in terms of quality served

The level of medicine is here 👍

I am grateful to the bookimed team. They work promptly, are constantly in touch, and help in any situation. I am very glad that I contacted the clinic through bookimed, our doctor, neurosurgeon Gopkalp Sinav, is very experienced, sociable, and attentive. I would like the doctors in Uzbekistan to be the same as in Turkey. The level of medicine is here 👍.

Senior doctor behavior

Medical staff need to be improved specially nursing staff should be educated with English language for international patients. Secondly interpretors availability should be improved and trained also their behavior needs to be improved.
