Robotic Pyeloplasty

Robotic pyeloplasty is a minimally invasive reconstructive urological procedure performed using the da Vinci robotic surgical system to correct ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction—a pathological narrowing where the renal pelvis connects to the ureter—thereby relieving hydronephrosis, preventing progressive nephron loss, and restoring unobstructed urine outflow from the kidney. At Gözde International Hospitals, our board-certified robotic urologists perform Anderson-Hynes dismembered pyeloplasties with 3D high-definition vision and robotic tremor-free articulation, optimizing renal parenchyma preservation with sub-millimeter surgical accuracy. What is Robotic Pyeloplasty? UPJ obstruction causes high-pressure urine retention inside the renal collecting system, leading to renal pelvic dilatation (hydronephrosis), recurrent pyelonephritis, kidney stone formation, and long-term renal failure. The definitive surgical correction involves excising the stenotic, adynamic segment and creating a tension-free, wide-caliber anastomosis between the renal pelvis and ureter. Core elements of the robotic approach include: Robotic Wristed Instrumentation (EndoWrist): Robotic instruments provide 7 degrees of freedom, enabling precise intracorporeal suturing and tissue mobilization in confined retroperitoneal and transperitoneal working corridors. Aberrant Crossing Vessel Transposition: When an accessory lower-pole renal artery or vein compresses the UPJ, the robotic instruments gently transpose the vascular bundle posterior to the newly reconstructed pelvic outflow without ischemic injury. Internal JJ Stent Placement: A temporary double-J ureteral stent is positioned under direct vision to bridge and decompress the newly sewn anastomosis during the initial healing phase. The procedure yields two primary clinical advantages: Renal Function Preservation: Decompresses the calyces immediately, halting progressive parenchymal thinning and irreversible loss of renal function. High Success and Low Morbidity: Delivers patency and success rates exceeding 95%, matching traditional open surgery while eliminating painful flank incisions and rib resections. What Are the Advantages of This Treatment? Minimal Blood Loss and Incisional Trauma: Performed through 3 to 4 keyhole ports (5 to 8 mm), minimizing soft tissue disruption. Watertight, Tension-Free Anastomosis: High-definition 3D magnification allows fine, watertight micro-suturing with minimal risk of urinary leakage. Significantly Reduced Postoperative Pain: Spares the major abdominal and flank muscles, drastically reducing postoperative narcotic requirements. Rapid Convalescence: Short hospital stay (1 to 2 days) and swift return to baseline occupational activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Who is a Suitable Candidate? Adults and adolescents diagnosed with symptomatic primary or secondary UPJ obstruction confirmed by MAG3/DTPA diuretic renal scans showing obstructed clearance ($T_{1/2} > 20$ minutes). Individuals presenting with recurrent flank pain (Dietl's crisis), especially after high fluid intake or alcohol consumption. Patients with recurrent upper urinary tract infections or secondary calculi forming within dilated renal calyces. Asymptomatic patients exhibiting progressive loss of differential renal function or advancing cortical thinning on serial ultrasounds or CT urography. Patients with failed previous endoscopic treatments (endopyelotomy) or recurrent obstructions requiring definitive reconstruction. How is the Procedure Performed? Preoperative Functional Mapping: CT urography and dynamic renal scintigraphy map vascular anatomy, crossing vessels, and differential renal filtration split. Anesthesia and Patient Positioning: Executed under general anesthesia with the patient positioned in a modified lateral decubitus orientation. Robotic Port Placement and Docking: Keyhole ports are introduced into the abdomen, and the robotic cart is docked over the flank. Dismemberment and Reconstruction (Anderson-Hynes): The stenotic junction is cleanly excised, the redundant renal pelvis is trimmed and tailored, and a spatulated, wide-caliber anastomosis is sewn over a double-J ureteral stent with fine absorbable sutures. Duration: The surgical procedure typically requires 90 to 150 minutes. Recovery and Post-Care Patients experience an uncomplicated recovery due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure: First 24–48 Hours: Early ambulation begins on postoperative day one; the surgical drain is removed once output is minimal, followed by discharge. JJ Stent Management: The internal double-J stent remains in place for 4 to 6 weeks to ensure optimal healing, after which it is removed via a brief, painless outpatient flexible cystoscopy. Activity Milestones: Non-strenuous desk work can be resumed within 7 to 10 days; heavy lifting, contact sports, and strenuous exercise should be avoided for 4 weeks. Long-Term Monitoring: Renal ultrasound and follow-up diuretic MAG3 renograms at 3 and 12 months confirm patent outflow and resolution of hydronephrosis. Why Gözde International Hospitals?

Robotic Assisted Radical Cystectomy

Robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) is an advanced, minimally invasive uro-oncological surgery performed using the da Vinci robotic surgical system for the definitive management of muscle-invasive or high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The procedure involves the complete en bloc removal of the urinary bladder, regional pelvic lymph nodes, and adjacent reproductive organs, followed by intracorporeal urinary reconstruction (neobladder or ileal conduit). At Gözde International Hospitals, our surgical teams utilize high-magnification 3D vision and wristed robotic instrumentation to achieve negative surgical margins, perform extended lymphadenectomy, and rebuild urinary pathways inside the abdominal cavity without large open incisions. What is Robotic-Assisted Radical Cystectomy? Radical cystectomy represents the standard of care for aggressive bladder cancer. In open surgery, accessing the deep pelvic basin requires a lengthy vertical midline incision, often leading to substantial blood loss, prolonged postoperative ileus, and wound complications. The robotic platform overcomes these challenges through micro-precision instruments and pneumatic peritoneal insufflation, which tamponades small venous oozing. The surgical scope entails: En Bloc Organ Excision: In men, the urinary bladder, prostate gland, and seminal vesicles are excised; in women, the bladder, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and anterior vaginal wall are removed (anterior pelvic exenteration), with nerve-sparing techniques applied in appropriate cases to preserve erectile function or pelvic floor support. Extended Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection (ePLND): Systematic bilateral removal of obturator, external iliac, internal iliac, and common iliac lymph nodes up to the aortic bifurcation for accurate pathological staging and survival benefit. Intracorporeal Urinary Diversion (iConduit / iNeobladder): Using a segment of the patient's isolated ileum, surgeons reconstruct the urinary outflow entirely inside the closed abdominal cavity—either creating an incontinent stoma (ileal conduit / Bricker) or an orthotopic orthotopic neobladder connected directly to the native urethra to restore natural micturition. The procedure delivers two primary clinical outcomes: Radical Oncological Control: Complete eradication of local malignant disease with negative surgical margins and thorough nodal clearance. Preservation of Systemic Recovery: Minimizes surgical trauma, blood transfusions, and third-space fluid shifts, accelerating bowel recovery and readiness for adjuvant therapies. What Are the Advantages of This Treatment? Substantially Reduced Blood Loss: Lowers intraoperative hemorrhage, significantly reducing homologous blood transfusion rates compared to open radical cystectomy. Faster Bowel Motility Recovery: Reduced bowel manipulation and avoidance of peritoneal drying lead to faster resolution of postoperative ileus. Lower Wound Complication Rates: Small keyhole incisions virtually eliminate large abdominal wound dehiscence, incisional hernias, and severe surgical-site infections. High-Precision Nerve and Sphincter Sparing: 3D stereoscopic visualization enables millimeter preservation of autonomic cavernous nerve bundles and the striated urethral sphincter in candidate patients. Who is a Suitable Candidate? Patients diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (clinical stage T2–T4a, N0–Nx, M0). Individuals with high-risk, BCG-unresponsive or recurrent non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (T1G3, persistent CIS). Patients with extensive bladder involvement from non-urothelial carcinomas (such as squamous cell or adenocarcinoma). Candidates with adequate cardiopulmonary and renal reserves to undergo Trendelenburg positioning and prolonged robotic operating times. Individuals with severe refractory bladder conditions (radiation cystitis, intractable hematuria, or end-stage neurogenic bladder) requiring salvage cystectomy. How is the Procedure Performed? Preoperative Staging and Optimization: High-resolution contrast-enhanced CT/MRI of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, dynamic cardiopulmonary clearance, and nutritional optimization under ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocols. Anesthesia and Positioning: General anesthesia with steep Trendelenburg positioning to allow gravitational displacement of the intestines away from the pelvic operative field. Robotic Port Placement: Five to six small ports (5 to 12 mm) are placed across the mid-abdomen, and the da Vinci robotic arms are docked. Extirpative Phase: The ureters are mobilized and clipped; the bladder and accompanying pelvic organs are freed en bloc; bilateral extended pelvic lymphadenectomy is executed. Intracorporeal Reconstruction Phase: A 15 to 45 cm segment of terminal ileum is isolated using robotic staplers, gastrointestinal continuity is restored, the ureters are anastomosed to the bowel segment, and the diversion (ileal conduit or orthotopic neobladder) is completed. Duration: The operative procedure typically requires 4 to 6 hours depending on the chosen urinary diversion method. Recovery and Post-Care A structured ERAS pathway guides patients through their postoperative convalescence: Early Mobilization and Oral Intake: Ambulation begins on postoperative day one; clear liquids and chewing gum are introduced within 24 hours to stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis. Hospital Stay: Inpatient monitoring typically ranges between 5 and 7 days until stable bowel function and independent diversion management are confirmed. Stent and Catheter Care: Ureteral single-J stents remain in place for 10 to 14 days, and neobladder catheters are maintained for approximately 3 weeks to allow tension-free anastomotic healing. Rehabilitation and Surveillance: Pelvic floor physical therapy begins for neobladder patients, supported by routine cross-sectional imaging and biochemical tracking every 3 to 6 months. Why Gözde International Hospitals? High-Volume Robotic Uro-Oncologists: Dedicated surgical teams experienced in complex radical cystectomy and fully intracorporeal urinary reconstruction. Advanced da Vinci Xi Robotic Platforms: High-definition 3D visualization and multi-quadrant dexterity enabling both pelvic resection and upper-abdominal bowel mobilization.

Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy

Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is a gold-standard, minimally invasive oncological procedure performed using the da Vinci surgical system for the definitive surgical management of localized and locally advanced prostate cancer. The surgery entails the precise en bloc excision of the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and ampullary vas deferens, followed by a watertight vesicourethral anastomosis and bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection when indicated. At Gözde International Hospitals, our fellowship-trained robotic uro-oncologists combine high-magnification 3D stereoscopic visualization, wristed articulation, and advanced neurovascular-sparing techniques to maximize oncological cure while prioritizing early return of urinary continence and sexual potency. What is Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy? Traditional open radical retropubic prostatectomy requires a large lower abdominal incision to access the deep, narrow confines of the male pelvis. In contrast, RARP is conducted through miniature ports under pneumatic pressure (pneumoperitoneum), which naturally suppresses venous bleeding from the dorsal venous complex (Santorini's plexus). The robotic platform translates the surgeon's finger and wrist maneuvers into tremor-filtered, micro-scaled movements inside the pelvic cavity. Core surgical elements include: Neurovascular Bundle Preservation (Nerve-Sparing Technique): Using cold-scissor micro-dissection and avoiding thermal energy near the lateral pelvic fascia, the cavernous autonomic nerves responsible for erectile function are spared in candidate patients without compromising cancer clearance. Preservation of the External Urethral Sphincter: Maximizing functional urethral length and preserving the anterior and posterior pelvic fascial suspension structures (Rocco stitch and anterior reconstruction) to facilitate rapid return of urinary continence. Watertight Vesicourethral Anastomosis: A continuous running micro-suture reconnects the bladder neck directly to the preserved urethral stump over a silicone Foley catheter, ensuring a tension-free, leak-proof seal. The clinical procedure delivers two fundamental outcomes: Complete Oncological Clearance: Negative surgical margins and thorough pelvic lymphadenectomy provide reliable local cancer eradication and accurate pathological grading. Functional Anatomy Preservation: Significantly accelerates postoperative continence recovery and improves post-treatment erectile potency compared to conventional open surgery. What Are the Advantages of This Treatment? Minimal Intraoperative Blood Loss: Pneumoperitoneum and precise micro-coagulation minimize hemorrhage, virtually eliminating the need for blood transfusions. Enhanced Visual Acuity: 10x magnified, true-depth 3D HD cameras allow distinct visualization of microscopic nerves, fascial planes, and tissue boundaries. Reduced Postoperative Pain: Small 8 to 12 mm keyhole port incisions cause minimal muscle trauma, significantly lowering the requirement for narcotic pain relievers. Shorter Hospitalization and Convalescence: Most patients are discharged within 24 to 48 hours and return to sedentary routines within 1 to 2 weeks. Who is a Suitable Candidate? Patients diagnosed with clinically localized prostate cancer (stages cT1c to cT2c, Gleason scores 6 to 10, PSA up to 20 ng/mL or higher within high-risk paradigms). Select patients with locally advanced prostate cancer (stage cT3a) undergoing multimodal oncological management. Individuals with a life expectancy greater than 10 years seeking definitive surgical eradication of malignant disease. Patients who prioritize early continence restoration and the preservation of erectile potency through nerve-sparing approaches. Candidates with adequate cardiopulmonary capacity to tolerate general anesthesia and prolonged steep Trendelenburg positioning. How is the Procedure Performed? Preoperative Staging and Planning: Multiparametric prostate MRI (mpMRI), PET-PSMA imaging, and 3D reconstruction map tumor localization, extracapsular extension risk, and neurovascular proximity. Anesthesia and Positioning: General anesthesia with steep Trendelenburg positioning to displace the bowel cephalad away from the prostatic bed. Robotic Port Insertion and Docking: Five to six small ports are placed across the mid-abdomen, and the da Vinci Xi robotic arms are positioned. Extirpation and Reconstruction: The space of Retzius is developed, the endopelvic fascia is incised, the bladder neck is preserved, the seminal vesicles and prostate are dissected, pelvic lymph nodes are cleared if indicated, and the vesicourethral anastomosis is completed. Duration: The operative procedure typically requires 120 to 180 minutes. Recovery and Post-Care A structured enhanced recovery pathway promotes rapid and predictable rehabilitation: Early Mobilization: Ambulation begins on the day of surgery or within the first 24 hours to stimulate gastrointestinal motility and prevent venous thromboembolism. Catheter Care: The transurethral Foley catheter remains in place for 7 to 10 days to protect the healing bladder-urethra junction, after which it is removed following a cystogram or standard clinical check. Continence Rehabilitation: Daily pelvic floor muscle training (Kegel exercises) begins immediately after catheter removal, with most patients regaining continence within weeks to a few months. Oncological Surveillance: Serum PSA testing is conducted at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and annually thereafter; achieving an undetectable PSA ($< 0.1$ or $< 0.05$ ng/mL) confirms biochemical remission. Why Gözde International Hospitals? Specialized Robotic Uro-Oncologists: High-volume surgeons dedicated to nerve-sparing prostatectomy and complex pelvic oncological reconstructions.

It's been two weeks since Dr Deniz operated on me and gave me a gastric sleeve. I have lost 5kg (11lb). I feel perfectly fine, everything is healing well.

the hospital was great. Loads of space, super friendly nurses and staff. Burcin was my medical coordinator and she was absolutely brilliant, she organised everything for me and provided me a lot of reassurance.

Victor was waiting at the hospital for me when I arrived, and he helped me navigate for all my tests and translated everything for me, he was brilliant. Absolutely wonderful gent.

If I had to go back and consider doing this again, I would 100000% do it. I was terrified, but actually I was in really good hands.

Thank you Dr Deniz, Victor, Burcin, all the nurses on floor 4, the dietician and everyone. It will really change my life for the better.

Amazing experience from start to finish

I recently had my rhinoplasty in Izmir and I can honestly say the entire experience exceeded my expectations.


From the beginning, my coordinator Alp was fantastic — very patient, quick to respond, and always available to answer any questions. Communication was clear and consistent throughout, which really helped put me at ease.

When we landed, everything was well organised. We were contacted about our transfer straight away and only waited around 5–10 minutes before getting on a minibus. The process was smooth, with some people dropped at the hotel and others at the hospital.

I stayed for 5 days, and the hotel was perfect for recovery — clean, spacious, and in a great location with plenty of food options and supermarkets nearby. Room service was also reasonably priced, which was really convenient.

The hospital itself was amazing — very modern and felt more like a hotel than a typical UK hospital. My surgeon was professional and reassuring, with open communication during my consultation, and checked on me the following day.

The nurses were extremely attentive, checking on me regularly (even during the night), and although there was a slight language barrier at times, the level of care was excellent.

One of my biggest concerns beforehand was feeling unsupported after surgery, but that wasn’t the case at all. Communication via WhatsApp remained consistent, and I was always kept informed about timings and next steps.

All medication was provided before discharge (included in the price), along with clear aftercare instructions and a fit-to-fly note.

Since returning home, my recovery has gone really smoothly with no issues. Whenever I’ve had questions, Alp has continued to respond quickly, which has been very reassuring.

I was initially hesitant because the price seemed almost too good to be true, but I can honestly say the quality of care and service is outstanding.

I would highly recommend Gozde to anyone considering rhinoplasty — choosing my surgeon was the best decision I’ve ever made

Can't recommend this Hospital enough. They've really helped me over the years. My coordinator Alp has been in contact with me since my journey began 3 years ago until this day we still speak. He started helping me with my sleeve 3 years ago right upto my thigh lift, arm lift and breast Augmentation in January this year. Alp has been there with me supporting my whole journey. He's provided me with information when ever I've asked and has always reassured me when I haven't felt so great. He really is so helpful and now feels like a true friend to me. My surgeons Dr Mehmet Deniz (for Sleeve) and Dr Ahmet Aşçıoğlu (for cosmetics) were fantastic and I'd highly recommend them if anyone is thinking about any of these surgeries. My surgeons are also so helpful and I"m able to contact them even now if I have any questions and they always respond. This hospital has changed my life and I will always be extremely grateful for their help and for the way they looked after me. I also have to say that Viktor and Ceren Karahan the coordinators at the hospital are so friendly and helpful and are good fun.
Highly recommend contacting Alp for help if you're thinking of any surgery. He's brilliant

I had gastric sleeve at their Izmir premium hospital Ozel Saglik

I had gastric sleeve at their Izmir premium hospital Ozel Saglik. I had done quite a few researches about the procedure in Turkey. In March, I found out that the Izmir hospital has a tour in UK. My first options where different hospitals, cheaper, still good options, but I said it wouldn't do any harm to meet a bariatric surgeon in person. The lovely coordinator, Afaf, made an appointment and I met Mr. Arslan, in London. Well, he made me feel like we are old friends, I explained him my other problems and he made me trust himself. It was game over. I've forgot about the other hospitals and he made me go to Izmir. And I don't regret it. The procedure went well, Mr. Arslan even sorted out my umbilical hernia. He is a fantastic surgeon and we still keep in touch. He speaks English, a very important thing. The hospital is well organised, everyone knows what has to do. Afaf, my coordinator, what can I say, she even arranged another consultation for me while there, helped me even after coming back. Fitnat, the transfer coordinator, good as gold. Cahide, what a lovely girl! Viktor, our hospital host, what a lovely guy! Many thanks to the nurses, especially Ella, for the night when my blood pressure went very high. And not for the last, many thanks to the anesthetist. What a lovely lady! I didn't have a chance to thank you her and I regret it. We all pay more attention to the surgeon and we forget how important the anesthetist is, keeping us well and alive during surgery and she made me feel I am in very good hands. Maybe somebody can thank her on my behalf. So, in conclusion, I don't know about other hospitals in Turkey, but this one is a very well organised and NHS would have what to learn from them, regarding efficiency. Their hotel, again, very nice apartments and rooms, lovely staff, fantastic breakfast buffet. Some small suggestions. It will be nice if the drivers wouldn't smoke in the transfer buses. On the arrival, it was a very strong smell of smoking in the transfer van, I nearly feel sick. The night shift nurses should be advised to keep the noise a bit down. They are lovely, but some of them make during the night the same noise level as daytime. The hospital should pay some English courses for them. It will be very helpful,for them and patients, to avoid Google translate. The hospital is lovely, very clean, big, nice rooms, but it will need some small repairs, especially the floor near lifts. The coordinators should be allowed to spend more time with the patients, if needed, after booking and pay the deposit, because some small problems still can appear. Not only my opinion, other patients had the same problem. But, in all, a fantastic experience, I don't regret going there and I think the difference in price is justified.

My gastric sleeve experience with Godze

After 2 and a half years of researching and deciding, I finally had my gastric sleeve surgery at Ozel Sağlık hospital on 22nd March 2025.
The process from the beginning was very simple. In my first enquiry I was assigned Tenno as my coordinator. He was attentive and answered every question I had fully. He was patient and didn’t push me to book. From my first communication with him to me actually putting my deposit down 6+ months passed because I wanted to make sure I was making the correct decisions for me.
After booking he again kept me fully informed and answered all of my questions. I first flew to Turkey in January 2025 I was amazed by the depth and amount of pre op tests that were performed on me. The level of care from the nursing team was exemplary!
Unfortunately in January after the endoscopy, a big ulcer and hernia was found in my stomach meaning the surgery would not be performed as it was not safe to do so. I was understandably upset, however Dr Arslan took the time to explain exactly why he couldn’t operate and what my next steps would be. Caomide, was my coordinator at the hospital and she comforted me and assisted me in getting back to the hotel. Nilsu (travel coordinator) and Tenno were again so helpful in getting me home, so I could start the medicine to get the ulcer healed.
When I returned home there was no pressure from Tenno to rebook, he let me do this in my own time. However after seeing the care at Godze, I was eager to get back and booked for 22nd March.
When I returned the excellent care continued, Caomide and Dr Arslan remembered me which was so nice. The nurses were so attentive with medicines. No problems with language barriers (I’m English and don’t know any Turkish apart from merhaba!) I had my fastric sleeve and hernia repair and honestly cannot believe how well I feel afterwards.
I travelled alone with no companion, and would do this again.
I am so happy with my experience and would recommend Godze based on this!
Thank you to Tenno, Nilsu, Caomide, Yaran, Nourman,the whole team at Ozel Sağlık and of course Dr Arslan. Cannot wait for my new life with my new baby stomach!

Excellent service from start to finish!
Yigit Altinay my contact was so helpful every step of the way. I paid £80 for my £380 flights as agreed. Everything was smooth. No extra costs. I was a little anxious asI  travelled alone but I knew that I could contact anyone and would have been supported. My surgery went well and everything was explained to me in depth by my Interpreter, she was so warm and friendly. I was under Dr Ergin and he was excellent. Went over and above to help me with some complicated adhesions from other surgery’s. My medication package given to me was huge and spare dressings. Thank you everyone for your support.

I recently had my gastric sleeve surgery in Izmir at gozde international hospital and the care I received was absolutely exceptional from start to finish.

My surgeon, Dr. Mehmet Deniz, was fantastic — professional, skilled, and reassuring throughout the entire process. My coordinator, Devrim, was incredible at helping me plan my journey and clearly explained what to expect at every stage of the surgery and was on call 24/7 answering any questions or help I needed. Victoria, my interpreter, was also amazing — kind, patient, and made sure I understood everything perfectly.

The whole team at Gözde Hospital was lovely and looked after me with such care and attention. I felt completely supported and safe during my stay.

I would highly recommend Gözde Hospital and their amazing staff to anyone considering this surgery. Thank you to the entire team for making my experience so positive!

Highly recommended

I first contacted Devrim through WhatsApp. He walked me through everything. Quick in responding to messages no matter what time it was. Very helpful and easy to follow instructions when it came to payments and booking my plane ticket. When I arrived at Izmir airport, I was met by my transfer who took me straight to the Hospital. All necessary checks were done and I had my procedure the following day. My surgeon was very attentive to detail and answered all my questions with ease. Devrim kept in touch checking how I was. My procedure went well and I am home recovering very well. While at home, Devrim kept checking on how my recovery was. I would recommend Gozde International Hospitals. A hospital well equipped I felt safe and at home. Everyone was very friendly and I was looked after well.

BEST EXPERIENCE AT GODZE INTERNATIONAL HOSPITALS

I had a Rhinoplasty at Ozel Saglik Hospital this September. Everything from start to finish was clear and professional. To start, my operational coordinator Tenno set up a E-consultation where I had the opportunity to ask any questions I had in mind and everything was answered clearly. He organised my accommodation, flight and hospital stay and even checked in on me after the surgery to make sure I was doing well. The Doctor who performed my surgery was Dr Serkan Gokpinar. He is a really talented and great Dr to say the least. The swelling has not resided yet and I am already to happy with my results. His first priority is health and safety which is so reassuring. Not to mention the nurses, they were great, always checking on me and made me feel very comfortable that I wouldn’t have mind to spend the rest of my trip in my hospital room. Everything was clean, the food and especially the soup was delicious. All in all I had the best experience an international patient could ask for. The Interpreter, transport, Accommodation, Food, Medication.. I can’t communicate how satisfied and pleasant my trip to Izmir was. More than anyone could ask for. As far as recovery, I came out of the surgery and up until today 8 days post OP, I had zero bruising, very minimal swelling (mostly around the nose) and zero pain. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother recovery. Everything was better than I could have asked for. Thank you so much Tenno, Dr Serkan, the nurses, and everyone that made my journey feel so comfortable and I definitely recommend for anyone debating or unsure to go ahead with it!

I can’t thank everyone at Gozde hospitals enough. Everything from booking my surgery until now (5 weeks post op) I have had brilliant care. I wish I could thank everyone individually. My care coordinator Devrim has answered any questions I’ve had with such a quick and accurate response. My transfer coordinator Fitnat for helping me with my travel. And lastly my amazing surgeon Dr Ahmet Aşçioğlu who has made me the happiest with my amazing results and his consult Berfin who was amazing while I was in the hospital. Thank you to all of the friendly nurses that looked after me during my stay you made my experience pain free and comfortable since the moment I arrived at the hospital. Even the man who did the transfer was so friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone and would 100% go back if I wanted any further treatment. Thank you all again!!!

I had gastric sleeve surgery here in March 2024.
My co-ordinator Atakan was fantastic and i have already recommended Atakan to others, he was great with contacting me with all the details of the packages that the hospital offered, any questions I had he was helpful to answer and put my mind at rest, even after surgery when I returned to England he has been happy to still answer questions for me.
While at the hospital I felt my treatment was better than some I have been to in the UK, pre-op tests were very thorough, I felt safe with the surgical team, my surgeon Dr Yeldan was fantastic so happy i had him to do my operation. Most nurses spoke good English and were more than happy to help me and my companion, my private room had everything I needed, I was sent home with medication and protein shakes.

Genuinely Life Changing!

I had Gastric Sleeve Surgery at Gozde Izmir in January 2025 and my experience was brilliant.
My co-ordinator, Mert, was so attentive and helped me handle every part of my booking.
The team at the hospital were nothing short of phenomenal. They never let me down - everything they promised was delivered. I felt really well informed and cared for throughout my stay. The pre-op team, the surgeons Dr Arslan and Dr Kemiskis and the nursing staff were all excellent. Their english was good enough to communicate anything I needed.
The hospital was clean and spacious with decent facilities for my companion and there is a real camaraderie on the ward with your fellow patients.
I had a real wobble because I realised AFTER my op that I had booked by flight a day early so had one day less recovery time and I was panicking I wouldn't get discharged in time, but the team were amazing at calming my nerves.
I have had no issues at all post-op, my incisions have healed beautifully and I have lost 7 stone in 7 months. I can't ask for more really!

An amazing experience with Dr Serkan Gokpinar and best medical coordinator Yunus

I loved the care and support received before,during and after my rhinoplasty surgery. My coordinator Yunus Emre Ekici is an angel I couldn’t have been at ease without his continuous support and kindness. My surgeon Dr Serkan Gokpinar is LOVELY and has done an amazing job with my nose without needing much explanation. My nose healed without issues and looks so natural people hardly realised the work I did. 2 months later I LOVE my beautiful cute nose!! Thank you guys for all your help and support throughout the process of my first ever experience having cosmetic surgery.

I had an excellent experience with the staff at Gözde International Hospitals, especially with Piril. From the very beginning, everything was well organized and professionally coordinated. The entire process went smoothly, and I always felt supported and informed.

My surgery was very successful, and I am extremely satisfied with the care I received. The medical team, nurses, and support staff were all outstanding, kind, and attentive throughout my stay.

I would like to give special thanks to Piril for her professionalism, dedication, and assistance. She ensured that everything was properly coordinated and made the whole experience stress-free.

I highly recommend Gözde International Hospitals to anyone seeking high-quality medical care. Thank you to the entire team for the excellent service and support.

Breast Augumentation and uplift

Initially I was abit wary about booking something so huge without even a phone call just whatsapp messages. But each time I spoke to Piril she was always very understanding, informative and helpful. Couldn't fault the communication she was so helpful it was very reassuring.
My procedure was organised extremely smoothly, everything was as Piril had said, I was taken straight from the airport to the hospital, and the hospital room I had in Izmir was huge, very comfortable and modern, all the staff at the hospital were very caring and accomodating. My surgeon was Dr Ahmet and he was great too he fully understood my desired outcome and again answered any and all my questions I had. I was also given an interpretor who was with me for all the important parts (although I found most of the staff spoke very good English) my procedure went very well and I was very happy with my results, I stayed a few nights in hospital and then got transfered to a lovely apartment. I was checked by the doctor before I left and was pumped full of antibiotics the whole time to prevent any infections. The apartments are really lovely too and all transfers to and from the hospital and airport/apartment where all organised smoothly.

I couldn't fault this procedure and process, I was so nervous and skeptical but im so pleased I went through with it. I would highly recommend this hospital and its staff. After my op I was able to speak with the surgeon after my procedure as i was given his telephone number i had a few questions when I got home to the UK and Dr Ahmet responded promptly so that felt reassuring that I wasnt just on my own now ive returned home.

64kg down in just 10 months!!

Im Emma. I'm a 42 year old woman from Manchester England. My weight has fluctuated up and down for years, I'd get so far, and then life would throw a curve ball and I'd slip a little, end up back at square one, and the another year to start trying again. Before I knew it 20 years had passed in the blink of an eye, and I started to think less about looking good and more about giving my life some longevity. Lowering my risk of illnesses, ailments and certain cancers what being overweight can bring became more important than fitting in a size small.

I did my research and chose gozde, Dr Zafer had vast experience and I decided to choose him, and honestly? It's. changed my life.

I was 124kg on the day I arrived in Turkey, embarrassed, mortified, but determined to change it, today, just 10 months later, I now weigh 69kg, in UK weight that's 10st 12lb I fluctuate between 64 and 69 depending what time of the month it is, and by removing my stomach with the sleeve, I removed 99% of my weaknesses.

I was scared that hunger would be a problem, but because you have your stomach taken there is very little gherlin hormone produced so hunger isn't a problem. I was scared my skin would be loose and awful, and yes some of the skin, especially my arms, I don't like, but, the overall feeling of wearing what I want, fitting in the bath properly, fitting in my friends clothes, walking without back pin, feeling feminine and sexy, make it all the worth while. Skin isn't a problem, I changed my life, halved my body weight, now I will get rid of the skin, if you're unhappy in your body anyway believe me when I say you will me less unhappy slim amd able.

I still want to make changes, but I'm 10 months in, 10st lighter, and I'm living not existing. My advice would be just do it, piril guided me through my experience and the hospital was clean, high standard, friendly, pleasant, professional and they did every test going before I had surgery to make sure it was safe.

Verdict: life changing. Advice. Go and get your life back. One step at a time is better than staying in the same place x

Take your supplements, follow advice and you will be fine, I'm just starting to be able to eat small meals, and the control, discipline and happiness this has given me has made that wait more than worth it. Go get your life back
