About the clinic

Memorial Şişli Hospital

Bone resection is a surgical procedure to remove a portion of bone. 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.

About the Procedure and Hospital Stay

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
  • Airport-hotel-hospital transfer services
  • Interpreter assistance during hospital visits
  • Translation of medical reports into English and Russian
  • Reserved accommodation at a contracted hotel

Hospital Accreditation and Patient Support

Memorial Şişli Hospital was the first in Turkey to earn JCI accreditation. This signifies adherence to strict international healthcare quality and patient safety protocols. The hospital is part of the large Memorial Healthcare Group.

This network sees over 1.6 million patients each year. It brings extensive resources and experience to complex cases like bone surgery. The clinic provides transparent pricing with clearly listed inclusions.

Patients should bring their passport and all prior medical records. It is important to note certain costs are not covered. These typically include international flights, extended hotel stays, and take-home medications.

Treatment for any complications is also excluded. The package offers a clear baseline for budgeting and planning. To explore this surgical option and receive a personalized cost estimate, you can leave a request on Bookimed.

The support staff were truly exceptional, making a very difficult situation feel much more manageable
If you are looking into this clinic for prostate cancer treatment, I can offer my perspective. The support staff were truly exceptional, making a very difficult situation feel much more manageable, and the clinic facilities were solid. I would say my experience was overall good. However, there were some communication hurdles to navigate. While general language support was adequate, I felt this was a weak point during crucial consultations with the surgeon himself, which led to some uncertainty. This is the main reason for my lower rating for the doctor. It's just something to be prepared for. I am now focused on my recovery.

The surgeon was excellent
What surprised me most about my basalioma treatment wasn't the procedure itself, but the detailed skin examination I received. The surgeon was excellent. He made sure all removal options were discussed clearly, which was reassuring since I already had my diagnosis before arriving. Right now, the treated area is healing very well. While the medical care was superb and the clinic facilities are great, the administrative staff seemed a bit disorganized, which was the only downside. Despite that, based on the surgeon’s work, it’s a place I would suggest to others.
My Bookimed coordinator was highly skilled, had the passion and patience for her work and that translated to the numerous array of options provided to me to choose from based on my budget during the entire process.She interacted with me 24/7 just for us to have solution within my schedule. All information (proforma, visa assistance, travel guidance and estimated personal expenses) for the entire treatment were on point and I encourage all manner of persons seeking medical treatment abroad to choose Bookimed as their medical tourism partner.
1. Interpreter only come when the patient calls for his services and that is only during the day. If the interpreter can also support beyond the interactions with the specialist. 2. Airport and Internal movement are left to the patient to handle which can sometimes be a major challenge for some category of patients and given the language barrier. 3. Hospital discharges are very strict even if you the patient feels he/she need additional day(s) to be fit for a return to the hotel to continue the recovery.

The doctor and all the staff have been very attentive and professional, which gives me confidence that I made the right choice of clinic and treatment process
My main concern before starting treatment was how my body would react to the drug. I’m undergoing a course of Keytruda immunotherapy for kidney cancer, receiving an infusion every three weeks. Yes, I have experienced some side effects. These are mainly digestive issues, and I feel a little more tired. Of course, I am still concerned that these might get worse over time. But I must say that the doctor and all the staff have been very attentive and professional, which gives me confidence that I made the right choice of clinic and treatment process.

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.
