Gynecology Treatment in Ankara, Turkey

Is robotic surgery available in Ankara?

Yes, Ankara is a regional hub for robotic surgery. Major private hospitals and university clinics are equipped with the latest **Da Vinci Surgical Systems**. Gynecologists here are highly trained in using robotics for complex procedures like hysterectomies, myomectomies (fibroid removal), and endometriosis resection, offering greater precision and faster recovery than traditional open surgery.

Are the gynecologists English-speaking?

Yes. Most senior specialists and professors in Ankara's private sector speak excellent English, as medical education in Turkey often involves English-language resources and international conferences. Additionally, hospitals catering to international patients provide dedicated translators to ensure clear communication during consultations and throughout your hospital stay.

How long do I need to stay in Ankara for surgery?

For laparoscopic or robotic surgeries (like hysterectomy), the typical stay is **7 to 10 days**. This includes 1-2 nights in the hospital and the remaining days at a hotel for recovery and follow-up checks. For minor procedures like labiaplasty, a stay of 3-5 days is often sufficient. Your surgeon will provide a specific timeline based on your procedure.

Is it safe to fly after gynecological surgery?

Flying is generally safe after you have been cleared by your surgeon, usually 5-10 days post-op depending on the complexity of the surgery. The main concern is Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). Doctors will recommend wearing compression stockings, staying hydrated, and moving around the cabin during the flight. You will receive a "Fit to Fly" certificate before departure.

Can I combine surgery with a holiday?

Yes, but rest should be the priority. Ankara is a fascinating city with museums and historical sites that can be visited during the initial days before surgery or during the lighter recovery phase. However, strenuous activities should be avoided. Many patients enjoy the high-quality shopping and dining in districts like Çankaya as part of their recovery experience.

What is the success rate for IVF in Ankara?

Ankara is a center of excellence for reproductive medicine. Success rates for IVF are comparable to top US and European clinics, often ranging from 40% to 60% per cycle, depending on the patient's age and cause of infertility. Clinics use advanced technologies like **ICSI**, **IMSI**, and **PGD/PGS** (genetic screening) to maximize the chances of a healthy pregnancy.

Are cosmetic gynecology procedures available?

Absolutely. Ankara has seen a rise in demand for aesthetic gynecology. Procedures such as **Labiaplasty**, **Vaginoplasty** (tightening), and **Hymenoplasty** are performed routinely by specialized surgeons. These can often be done using laser technology for minimal bleeding and quicker healing, with high patient satisfaction rates.

Can I bring a companion?

Yes, having a companion is highly recommended for support. Most private hospitals in Ankara offer private rooms where a companion can stay overnight with you on a sofa bed. Hotels included in packages also typically allow for double occupancy, sometimes with a small extra charge for breakfast.

Is fertility preservation (egg freezing) an option?

Yes. Clinics in Ankara offer egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) for women who wish to delay childbearing or are undergoing medical treatments that affect fertility (like chemotherapy). The labs use **vitrification** (flash freezing), which ensures a very high survival rate for the eggs upon thawing.

Does insurance cover the treatment?

Most international travel insurance policies do not cover elective surgeries abroad. However, some private health insurance plans (especially from the UK or Middle East) may cover specific procedures if pre-approved. It is best to check with your provider. For self-pay patients, the lower costs in Ankara make high-quality care affordable even without insurance coverage.
