In Turkey, robotic da Vinci prostatectomy typically costs from AUD $24,660 to AUD $27,562. Prices depend on the specific surgical technique, the extent of lymph node removal, and the hospital's infrastructure in hubs like Istanbul and Izmir. Patients save around 25% by travelling to Turkey from Australia, where this procedure costs AUD $34,815 on average. Most Turkish packages include 4 days of hospitalisation, VIP transfers, and preoperative tests.
