About the clinic

It is typically performed to address tumors, severe infections, or extensive damage at the Memorial Şişli Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The surgery may cost around $12,500 and includes a full patient care package. The clinic's main advantage is its status as Turkey's first and globally 21st Joint Commission International (JCI) accredited hospital, ensuring high international safety standards.

This procedure often involves a wide or radical resection approach. This aims for a very thorough removal of abnormal tissue. The total package includes a hospital stay of approximately 4 nights for recovery and monitoring.
The surgical package is comprehensive for international patients. Key inclusions are:
- Bone resection surgery and anesthesia fees
- Pre-operative tests and consultations
- A 4-night stay in the hospital
