Kidney - Prostate - Bladder - Expert Urological Care
Urology covers the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate, and male reproductive tract. Turkey's accredited hospitals offer the full spectrum of urological treatments - from minimally invasive laser stone surgery to robotic radical prostatectomy - performed by specialist urologists at international standard facilities and at 50-65% below Western European costs.
At a Glance
Kidney stones are one of the most common urological problems and a major reason patients travel to Turkey - rapid scheduling and lower costs make Turkey ideal for stone treatment.
Available stone treatments:
| Procedure | Stone Size | Duration | Hospital | Hotel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ESWL (Shockwave Lithotripsy) | <10mm | 60 min | None | Day visit |
| Flexible URS (Laser) | 10-20mm | 60-90 min | 1 night | 4-5 days |
| PCNL | >20mm / staghorn | 1.5-3 hours | 2-3 nights | 6-7 days |
Key advantages:
The prostate gland is the source of two of the most common urological conditions in men over 50: BPH (benign enlargement causing obstruction) and prostate cancer.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH):
| Procedure | Best For | Hospital | Hotel |
|---|---|---|---|
| TURP | All sizes; gold standard | 2 nights | 5-7 days |
| HoLEP | Large prostates; complete removal | 2 nights | 5-7 days |
| UroLift | Small-moderate; no retrograde ejaculation | 1 night | 4-5 days |
BPH symptoms significantly impair quality of life - TURP and HoLEP deliver durable symptom relief lasting 10-15+ years.
Prostate Cancer:
| Treatment | Indication | Hospital | Hotel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active Surveillance | Low-risk disease | None | N/A |
| Robotic RARP (da Vinci) | Localised/locally advanced | 2-3 nights | 7-10 days |
| IMRT Radiotherapy | Alternative to surgery | None (outpatient) | Extended stay |
Every prostate cancer case is reviewed by our uro-oncology tumour board before treatment recommendation.
Bladder cancer represents the most common urinary tract malignancy. Treatment ranges from office-based TURBT to radical cystectomy (bladder removal) with urinary diversion.
Bladder cancer options:
| Stage | Treatment | Hospital | Hotel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-muscle-invasive (NMIBC) | TURBT + BCG therapy | 1-2 nights | 4-5 days |
| Muscle-invasive (MIBC) | Radical cystectomy - chemo | 5-7 nights | 10-14 days |
Robotic cystectomy (da Vinci) available - less blood loss, faster recovery, with neobladder reconstruction option (voiding without external bag).
