I can confirm that this part of my medical journey was managed with thorough competence
My primary concern before traveling for a PET-CT with Gallium 68 was the logistical side of things and whether every step would be clearly explained and executed in a new medical system. These worries proved to be entirely unfounded. The entire process was managed with clear and direct communication from the staff and the surgeon, which made a significant difference. The clinic's organization was evident. Everything was handled systematically, and each stage of the diagnostic procedure was laid out for me beforehand, so there were no surprises. The approach was very professional. but I can confirm that this part of my medical journey was managed with thorough competence.

He took the time to thoroughly explain my inquiries , answer all my questions, and ensure I felt comfortable throughout the process. His compassion, knowledge, and attention to detail made a significant difference in my treatment and recovery. Thanks to Dr. Ibrahim and the wonderful team at VM Hospital.

Thank Allah that we met him and he did a good surgery
Many thanks to Dr Bora Basharan and Alisher Durdiev! Diagnosis: carcinoma on the tongue. Alisher was very helpful with the choice and full support during the treatment. He gave us confidence in choosing Dr Bora Basharan by telling us about his professionalism and humanity. The most important thing for Alisher was the patient's health and to organise the diagnosis/surgery so that the patient gets the best results. We are very happy about this. We could not decide on the treatment (we were waiting for answers from South Korea) and Alisher did not give up to provide us with doctor's answers, answer our many questions and help with organisation. His ability to speak excellent Russian helped a lot in communication. The first meeting organised by Alisher went well. The doctor explained everything about the surgery and gave us peace of mind due to his experience as a highly specialised ENT surgeon in oncology. The operation went well and the follow up health checks. The recovery is good. We read many positive reviews online about Dr Bor Basharan which gave us more confidence. The reviews are true. After the surgery we were given a room with excellent food and the recovery was good. Thank Allah that we met Alisher and Dr Bora Basharan, for his golden hands, good surgery and organisation. Thank you very much again! Good health to all!

The diagnostic stage was conducted at a high professional level
If you are currently looking for a place to undergo a CT scan and considering different options, let me share my experience. From the very beginning, the interaction was set up very efficiently. All organizational issues were resolved quickly, coordinators were in touch and provided all the necessary information, which helped to avoid unnecessary stress. Everything at the clinic went according to plan. No delays. The staff acted professionally and cohesively, from registration to the procedure itself. The equipment looked modern, and the environment was calm and clean, which also matters. The doctor who analyzed the images provided clear and understandable explanations of the results. I am still in the recovery process, but the diagnostic stage was conducted at a high professional level. I had no complaints.

Good afternoon! I would like to leave a review: I would like to express my sincere gratitude to your company for the impeccable organisation of my examination. Every stage was thought out down to the smallest detail, which allowed me to feel completely safe and comfortable. Special thanks to the doctors — Dr. Bülent and Dr. Kemal. They are top-level specialists whose attention to detail and professionalism command deep respect. I really appreciate the thorough approach they took to my diagnosis. I would also like to thank the coordinator, Seda, for her sensitivity, and the female translators who accompanied me every step of the way and were a real support.

I felt like we had VIP treatment
My care was very good from start to finish. As soon as I arrived at the hospital, I was greeted by my interpreter and team. They were very friendly, put me at ease and explained what would happen and when. I had checks done and blood taken etc and met the consultant. He was absolutely lovely and again explained the whole procedure. I also met with the Anaesthetist. My procedure was completed and the care was fantastic from all the staff involved. The room and hospital were great. I felt like we had VIP treatment. The Hotel was also nice and everything runs like clockwork. Thanks to all the team but, especially to Ishmeal, Senna and Doctor Ozturk.
Always being told what was happening. Interpretor always on hand.

It was the right choice
What worried me most was the uncertainty and what the treatment plan would be. But my fears were put to rest after the very first consultation. The doctor was very attentive and explained everything in detail and calmly, which immediately put me at ease. I really appreciate that approach. All the staff at the clinic were responsive and supportive at every stage. The clinic itself made a good impression; everything is well organised. I am currently in the recovery phase and feel much calmer, having a clear understanding of the next steps. It was the right choice.

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.

When friends ask if I would suggest this clinic to them, my answer is a 10
My biggest worry was finding a surgeon and team I could completely trust for this personal procedure. That concern disappeared quickly. From the first consultation, the surgeon was professional and the staff were consistently kind, which made the whole process feel secure and well-managed. I'm still in the early stages of healing, but the level of care has been excellent. Everything was clear. When friends ask if I would suggest this clinic to them, my answer is a 10. The support has been fantastic.

The surgeon and all the staff at the clinic were highly professional and competent throughout my experience
My biggest concern before the operation was the recovery period, but now, 15 days after the prosthetic testicle implant surgery, I can say that things are going as expected. I received a small prosthesis measuring 3.5 cm; although I’m not sure of the brand, I’m satisfied with it. The surgeon and all the staff at the clinic were highly professional and competent throughout my experience. Everything went well. The recovery period is going well and without any problems so far.
The service was excellent, and the check-in and check-out were a real treat
No, I'm happy with the service and the performance

FAQ about Da Vinci gastroectomy in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

What is Da Vinci gastrectomy in Turkey?

Da Vinci gastrectomy in Turkey is a minimally invasive robotic surgery to remove part of the stomach, often for weight loss or cancer treatment. Surgeons use the Da Vinci Surgical System for precise movements and 3D high-definition views, reducing recovery time and pain.

  • Robotic surgery method: Uses Da Vinci system for high precision and better control.
  • Procedure type: Includes gastric sleeve and gastric bypass options in Turkey.
  • Hospitals: Anadolu Medical Center in Istanbul is JCI-accredited and treats many international patients.
  • Surgeon experience: Dr Abdulcabbar Kartal at Anadolu has performed 650+ Da Vinci gastrectomies.
  • Post-op care: Follow-up and nutritional support are vital after surgery.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul clinics, especially Anadolu Medical Center, combine JCI accreditation with experienced robotic surgeons like Dr Abdulcabbar Kartal. Clinics in Izmir and Antalya offer cheaper options, but carefully check surgeon experience and aftercare quality before choosing.

Patient Consensus: Patients say Da Vinci gastrectomy in Turkey feels like a high-tech stomach reduction. They stress surgeon skill and good aftercare matter more than the robot itself. English-speaking staff and clear follow-up advice helped many Australians feel safer during treatment.

What are the benefits of robotic Da Vinci gastrectomy in Turkey?

Robotic Da Vinci gastrectomy in Turkey offers precise 3D surgery with smaller incisions, reducing pain and speeding recovery. It is performed in Joint Commission International (JCI) accredited hospitals like Anadolu Medical Center in Istanbul, with experienced surgeons and tailored aftercare support.

  • Precision surgery: Da Vinci system offers 3D high-definition vision and steady robotic arms.
  • Less pain and recovery: Smaller incisions mean patients feel mostly fine after the first day.
  • Hospital stay: At least an overnight stay; not a walk-in, walk-out procedure.
  • Experienced surgeons: Surgeons like Assoc. Prof. Dr. Abdulcabbar Kartal have done 650+ robotic gastrectomies.
  • Facilities: Major clinics such as Anadolu Medical Center have JCI accreditation and English-speaking coordinators.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul clinics lead in robotic gastrectomy, but Izmir and Antalya offer similarly quality care at often lower prices. Experienced surgeons there ensure smoother recovery and fewer complications. Checking included aftercare and hospital stay details in packages is key for Australian patients.

Patient Consensus: Patients find robotic surgery in Turkey more comfortable with less pain. Recovery is smoother, often feeling well soon after surgery. Istanbul clinics offer good follow-up, but Izmir and Antalya provide solid options too with attentive care and English-speaking staff.

Who are the best surgeons for Da Vinci gastrectomy in Turkey?

The best surgeons for Da Vinci gastrectomy in Turkey include Dr Abdulcabbar Kartal at Anadolu Medical Center in Istanbul and Dr Mehmet Guler at Medical Park Antalya Hospital Complex. Many surgeons use the Da Vinci robotic system for precise, minimally invasive gastric surgeries, especially in Istanbul and Antalya.

  • Dr Abdulcabbar Kartal: 650+ Da Vinci robotic gastric sleeve surgeries performed.
  • Dr Mehmet Guler: Expert in robotic gastric sleeve at Medical Park Antalya Hospital Complex.
  • Dr Halil Alis: Performed Turkey’s first Da Vinci robotic general surgery procedure.
  • Anadolu Medical Center: JCI-accredited with English-speaking coordinators and translators.
  • Dr Omer Bilgehan Poyrazoglu: Assistant professor specialising in robotic bariatric surgery in Istanbul.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Clinics in Istanbul dominate Turkey’s Da Vinci gastrectomy landscape. Anadolu Medical Center is a standout with 65,000 patients yearly, JCI accreditation, and surgeons like Dr Kartal with 650+ operations. Antalya offers skilled surgeons like Dr Guler with multiple local memberships, providing solid alternatives outside the capital.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey stress confirming the exact surgeon and aftercare plans before treatment. Istanbul clinics offer top surgeons but higher prices than Antalya or Izmir. Many value clear package details including translator access and complication insurance.

What is the difference between Da Vinci gastric sleeve and Da Vinci gastrectomy procedures in Turkey?

Da Vinci gastric sleeve and Da Vinci gastrectomy in Turkey both use robotic-assisted surgery but differ mainly in complexity and stomach modification. The gastric sleeve removes 75–80% of the stomach, forming a narrow sleeve without rerouting intestines. Gastrectomy may involve more stomach removal and intestinal reconnection.

  • Da Vinci gastric sleeve: Restrictive only, removes most of stomach, no intestinal rerouting.
  • Da Vinci gastrectomy: Combines restriction and malabsorption, intestines are rerouted.
  • Gastrectomy suits severe obesity and metabolic problems; sleeve suits simpler cases.
  • Both use precise Da Vinci system for smaller cuts and quicker recovery.
  • Top Turkish centres include Anadolu Medical Center with JCI accreditation and English-speaking staff.

Bookimed Expert Insight: In Turkey, "gastrectomy" and "gastric sleeve" often mean the same robotic sleeve surgery. Check with clinics exactly what's removed, as terminology varies. Istanbul clinics tend to cost more but offer JCI-standard care and English support, crucial for Australians needing clear communication and follow-up.

Patient Consensus: Many Australians find Turkey’s robotic sleeve surgery precise and less invasive. Patients highlight thorough pre-op support and smooth aftercare, especially in Istanbul, where English-speaking coordinators help navigate treatment and recovery.

Which clinics in Turkey offer robotic Da Vinci gastrectomy for Australian patients?

Several JCI-accredited hospitals in Turkey offer Da Vinci robotic gastrectomy suitable for Australian patients. Anadolu Medical Center in Istanbul is notable for robotic surgery and oncological treatment. Memorial Antalya Hospital in Antalya and Emsey Hospital in Istanbul also provide robotic general surgery for gastrectomy.

  • Anadolu Medical Center: JCI-accredited with 65,000+ patients yearly and Johns Hopkins affiliation.
  • Memorial Antalya Hospital: Offers robotic general surgery with JCI certification since 2010.
  • Emsey Hospital: Accredited by Turkish Medical Association, uses robotic surgery for oncology and general surgery.
  • Robotic surgery experts: Dr Abdulcabbar Kartal at Anadolu Medical Center with 650+ bariatric surgeries.
  • Airport transfers, interpreters, and coordinators are common for international patients at these clinics.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Anadolu Medical Center stands out for robotic gastrectomy with over 650 surgeries by Dr Abdulcabbar Kartal and a Johns Hopkins connection. Clinics like Memorial and Emsey include airport transfers and interpreters, which are key for Australians facing long trips. These ease travel stress and recovery planning.

Patient Consensus: Australian patients appreciate Turkish clinics bundling surgery, accommodation, and transfers. Many advise taking extra recovery days locally before flying home. Patients recommend confirming local GP support in Australia for post-surgery care to manage any risks.
