Chronic renal failure means permanent kidney dysfunction. Kidney transplantation is the most effective way to treat this pathology.

At the Bahçelievler Memorial Clinic, this intervention is performed at the Kidney Transplantation Center. The operation is done in through a small incision in the abdominal cavity. If necessary, the patient's organ is removed. After such an operation, less pain is noted.

Laparoscopic kidney transplantation has lower risks of bleeding, infection and other side effects. The transplantation lasts 3-4 hours.

Liver Transplantation Center Bahçelievler Memorial is considered an international training centre. Surgeons from the most prestigious hospitals in the world, mainly in the USA, as well as from famous universities in Turkey, attend the programs held at the institution.

Liver transplantation is the only method to treat chronic liver failure. This procedure involves replacing a diseased organ with a healthy one. A suitable organ for transplantation can be obtained from a deceased person (“cadaver liver”) or a living maximum compatible donor.

The liver transplant success rate here is 93.5%.

Oncology at Bahçelievler Memorial Hospital

The structure of the hospital includes the Cancer Center, the leading specialized institution for diagnosis and treatment of cancer in Turkey. Innovative methods of detection and treatment of various oncopathologies are available there. Each patient is selected with an individual treatment program that meets international standards.

---

The centre is equipped with advanced equipment for minimally invasive, organ-saving operations. It is equipped with the TrueBeam STx linear accelerator, a revolutionary system for fighting all types of cancerous tumours. It combines the capabilities of radiation therapy and radiosurgery.

---

TrueBeam STx presents more advanced treatment options than the Gamma Knife and CyberKnife technologies. While Gamma Knife only irradiates intracranial tumours, Truebeam STx treats all types of cancerous tumours. CyberKnife can also irradiate all kinds of tumours, but it does not show the same result as Truebeam STx in large foci.

The Bahçelievler Memorial Cancer Center is accredited by the Organization of European Cancer Institutes (OECI) and the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO). This confirms the high quality and effectiveness of medical services provided to cancer patients.

Orthopaedics and Traumatology at Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital

Surgeries are performed through small skin incisions with the help of special equipment. The duration of the intervention does not exceed one hour.

During hospitalization and after discharge from the hospital, no strong analgesic drugs are required. 

Over 90% of patients return to their usual work 3 weeks after the da Vinci surgery.

In 97% of cases, the patient can avoid problems with urination disorders and fully retain sexual function.
