Anonymous • Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate

26 Sept 2026

Verified review.

The care I received on-site was excellent

The most important thing for future patients to know is to be prepared for new realities. I came ready for a laser enucleation operation for my medium-sized prostate, but I ended up undergoing a steam ablation procedure instead after my consultation. My surgeon was very good. He clearly explained the urination improvement timeline, which was quite reassuring as I begin my recovery. Although there has been little contact from the clinic since I left, the care I received on-site was excellent. My main advice is to go in with an open mind, as your final treatment plan might be different from what you initially expected.

I had a great experience from start to finish; the staff were polite, professional, and very helpful

The professor’s jokes helped me feel relaxed before the procedure. That supportive feeling was consistent throughout. I had a great experience from start to finish; the staff were polite, professional, and very helpful. A special mention has to go to Ibrohim, who was incredibly helpful throughout my stay, translating everything and regularly checking in after the procedure. The cryoablation addressed multiple nerve branches, and I'm healing with a clean, minimal scar. If like me you have tried all other options, then give it a go, as it’s the safer option than the dorsal neurectomy. I felt genuinely well looked after.

A special mention has to go to Ibrohim, who was incredibly helpful throughout my stay. He translated everything, recommended places to visit, rearranged my airport transport when I stayed an extra day, and regularly checked in after the procedure to make sure I was okay and didn't need anything. I felt genuinely well looked after throughout the whole experience and would definitely recommend the clinic.

There was nothing that could have been better

My main concern was the complexity of my case, which required addressing both Peyronie's disease and implanting a prosthesis. The surgeon was excellent. It was a very difficult job, but the two-hour surgery was successful because we followed his recommendations. I'm in early recovery, and while it is highly painful, that was to be expected. The support system was also solid. Communication with my coordinator and interpreter, Ibrohim, was excellent. He was very friendly and reassuring throughout the process, which made a significant difference. There was nothing that could have been better.

The surgeon was excellent, it was a very difficult job : payronies and prosthetic. 2 hour surgery. We followed his recommendations and it was very successful. Highly painful recovery but that is to be expected. Excellent communications with the coordinator/interpreter Thank you Ibrohim, very friendly and reassuring

When I considered what could be improved, honestly, nothing came to mind

My coordinator has been incredible through all stages of this process. She checked in daily, sometimes multiple times a day, ensuring every aspect of my treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia was managed well, which made the entire situation so much easier to navigate. I'm still in early recovery. The surgeon, staff, and the clinic itself were all excellent. When I considered what could be improved, honestly, nothing came to mind. The consistent communication and management of the process were that thorough. Everything was handled for me from start to finish with great care.

Coordinator has been amazing at all stages of the process, she's checked in daily or many times daily, made sure all aspects of the process were managed very well and has made the entire experience so much easier to navigate.

Nothing comes to mind - She's been absolutely amazing.

Everything was excellent from start to finish

Everything was excellent from start to finish. We definitely recommend them to anyone looking for treatment in Istanbul. I'm still in early recovery from my HoLEP procedure, but I am feeling much better than I expected to at this stage. It’s a real relief. For my condition, which involved a medium-sized prostate, I was pleased that the catheter was only needed for two days post-op. What also gave us peace of mind was that the final bill was exactly as quoted, with no additional expenses to worry about. The entire process was very straightforward and well-managed.

I’m glad I chose this team for my care and would absolutely do so again

My biggest worry was the complexity of the procedure itself, especially since it turned out I needed a Vasoepididymostomy. However, the surgeon was very clear and reassuring from the first consultation. That put me at ease. The clinic staff were consistently supportive, and the entire process felt organized and professional. Recovery is a journey, and while there's still some healing to do, I feel like I was in very capable hands. Everything went smoothly. I’m glad I chose this team for my care and would absolutely do so again.

The result is already better than expected

What worried me most was how the final length would turn out, but the result is already better than expected. The team was faultless. My incision for the 3-piece Rigicon implant is healing cleanly, though the most difficult part of recovery has been just trying to sit comfortably. The clinic facility itself is why I gave a lower rating; it’s functional but feels dated. This did not detract from the quality of the medical attention, however. Based on the care from the staff and the surgeon, I would direct others here.

The whole experience overall was great. Dr Bugra Cetin made himself available throughout my time in Istanbul, when he wasn't in surgery, that made my trip easy. The staff at Bookimed addressed all my concerns day and night, with taxi, clinic and still with my recovery while back home. I got with my local Urologist for them to have a look at my surgical area and they were happy with the results so far and said everything looks perfect! Thanks Dr. Cetin and Team!

None, for Bookimed. Anytime I did have any issue with hotel and taxi service, the staff was spot on.

Alina Popova works at the highest level — communication is extremely polite and professional

Alina Popova works at the highest level — communication is extremely polite and professional. She managed to solve my problem in an incredibly short timeframe. Thanks to her, I will recommend your service and Alina personally. Her client-oriented approach and ability to empathize with the patient’s situation allow me to declare that, through her dedication, she helps people not only with their direct requests but also as a bonus — on a moral and emotional level.

Alina Popova is an outstanding specialist who provided exceptional support both on a moral and professional level. She found the right clinic as quickly as possible, explained everything clearly, and was able to offer support during a difficult time. Human qualities — 100 out of 100, professional knowledge and skills — 200 out of 100. I am extremely satisfied working with Alina.

The amount changed — I ended up paying significantly more than expected, even though I asked ten times whether the price would be fixed. I was very unhappy about this.

The doctor already knew details about me from the documents I'd sent in advance, which impressed me.

The doctor was great, really explained everything as much as he could and helped loads

For anyone considering this procedure, my experience was a mixed bag, but the medical care itself was solid. My surgeon performed a vasovasostomy and was very honest about success chances, especially given my original vasectomy was 5–10 years ago. The doctor was great, really explained everything as much as he could and helped loads. Staff were good and very attentive also. I’m feeling about as expected in my recovery and the clinic gave me a clear aftercare guide. The main issue was the catering. Honestly, the food, it was boring or disgusting not good. There was no choice of meals or drinks for me or my partner. It's my one big piece of advice for others: bring plenty of your own food and drink for your stay.

After I got the address of the doctor needed, I managed to see him, but everyone was surprised by my visit. The doctor was not aware that I was going to meet him, the staff were all surprised. They were not aware of bookmed at all neither did they know the focal person who linked me with the hospital. The doctor told me he would send a preliminary report on the patient. I never got the report. Please let me know what happened? Is it scam or something?

My coordinator stayed in touch and was supportive through the process. However, the doctor inspired confidence initially but his performance was very poor. During the consultation, he minimized all the risks and made everything seem very simple, he was like a salesman. In the surgery room he realized that he couldn’t do the surgery he planned for me, and he did to me a totally different surgery just for the sake of money. Instead of solving my problem he added more horrible problems to my life. Bedsides the fact that I payed for on surgery and received another one, what he did was harmful to my body with a very negative impact on my life and my mental health. I feel worse. On top of this, I had to pay for some transfers due to car unavailability. My advice is to be very careful in discussions with the doctor; ask as many questions as possible and trust your gut feeling when making a big decision.
