About the clinic
Bone resection at Memorial Ataşehir Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, is a surgical procedure to remove malignant bone tumors while preserving the limb whenever possible. This specialized treatment is performed within a JCI-accredited facility known for its high safety standards. The hospital belongs to the Memorial Healthcare Group and features 143 beds and 7 operating rooms to support complex orthopedic surgeries.
Advanced Bone Tumor Treatment
The Orthopedics and Traumatology department focuses on treating malignant bone tumors, such as osteosarcoma. This type of cancer most often appears in the long bones of the legs and arms. Surgeons frequently treat tumors near the knee or shoulder joints, though the pelvis and jaw are also possible sites. The medical team uses a multidisciplinary approach, combining surgery with radiotherapy and chemotherapy to help prevent the cancer from returning.
Limb Salvage and Reconstruction
The primary goal of the surgical team is limb salvage surgery. This method removes the cancerous bone while keeping the rest of the limb intact. After the resection, the removed bone can usually be rebuilt or replaced to help maintain the patient's mobility. While the team works to avoid amputation, it may still be necessary in certain complex cases to protect the patient's health. The reconstruction process is tailored to the specific location of the tumor and the extent of the bone removal.
Specialized Orthopedic Surgeons
Expert care is provided by a team of experienced orthopedic surgeons at the hospital. These specialists handle both the removal of the tumor and the subsequent reconstruction of the bone. The team includes:
- Prof. Dr. Hakan Sofu – Specialist in Orthopedics and Traumatology.
- Prof. Dr. Haluk Çelik – Orthopedic surgeon focusing on bone and joint health.
- Op. Dr. Ahmet Güray Batmaz – Surgeon specializing in traumatology and orthopedic care.
- Op. Dr. Murat Öztürk – Orthopedic surgeon with expertise in surgical bone treatments.
Hospital Infrastructure and Patient Support
Memorial Ataşehir Hospital is equipped with 32 intensive care beds for recovery after major procedures. For international patients, the hospital provides free airport transfers to make the trip easier. Professional interpreter services are also available to help with communication during the stay.
