How are we doing?
About the clinic
Lobectomy (removal of a lung lobe) is performed at Memorial Şişli Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The procedure may cost around $23,000 for VATS (video-assisted thoracoscopic) surgery. The hospital is JCI-accredited and offers minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery.
About the Procedure
Lobectomy removes a diseased portion of the lung while preserving function. The preferred method is VATS - small incisions with a camera. Patients typically stay 4 days post-surgery. This approach reduces pain and shortens recovery compared to open surgery.
Clinic Advantages
Memorial Şişli holds Turkey's first JCI accreditation with a 4.6 patient rating. It is the country's largest multidisciplinary center. The hospital handles complex oncology cases with a 90% transplant success rate. Patients from 92+ countries choose this facility annually.
