Treatments

If a treatment is not right for you, the doctor will say so and explain the alternative.

Penile prosthesis

The one treatment for erectile dysfunction that works every time, and the operation the doctor performs most.

Reliable

An erection whenever you want it, whatever the cause of your ED. Sensation, orgasm and ejaculation stay as they are, and nothing shows from outside.

Two types

A three-piece inflatable implant gives the most natural erection and flaccid state. A malleable implant is simpler, with no pump and a lower cost.

One hour, one night

Surgery takes about an hour with a single small incision. One night in hospital, five to seven days in Istanbul, intercourse from six weeks.

About the doctor

A companion app that stays with you before, during and after treatment, so you always know what happens next and who to call.

Before

Your consultation notes, written quote and travel plan in one place, with reminders for tests, medication and fasting.

During

Your day-by-day schedule in Istanbul, transfers and appointments, and a direct line to your coordinator and the doctor.

After

A recovery checklist, medication reminders, and video follow-ups with the doctor at four, twelve and fifty-two weeks.

Set up for you with your treatment plan. Available in Arabic and English.

Everything outside the hospital is handled too

You come for treatment, not to organise a trip. From the moment you land until you fly home, one team looks after the logistics.

Airport pickup

A driver meets you at Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gökçen with your name, and takes you straight to your hotel. The same car brings you back for your flight.

Hotel close to the clinic

We book a comfortable hotel a short drive from the clinic and hospital, chosen for quiet rooms and easy recovery. Family members are welcome to stay with you.

Private transfers and a coordinator

Every trip between hotel, clinic and hospital is by private car. An Arabic and English speaking coordinator is with you at each appointment and reachable on WhatsApp day and night.

Istanbul in your free time

Recovery days are quiet, but there is time to see the city. We can arrange a guided half-day tour or restaurant bookings if you would like them.

The city

Istanbul is part of the treatment

You recover in a city that Gulf visitors already know and love: a few hours from home, familiar in its daily rhythm, and easy to enjoy at a gentle pace between your appointments.

Close to home

Around four hours by direct flight from Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam, with several departures every day, so a companion can join you or fly back early.

Simple entry

Gulf passports enter Türkiye easily. We confirm the current rules for your passport when we set your dates, and send an invitation letter if one is needed.

Feels familiar

A mosque within walking distance of your hotel, Turkish and Arab cuisine side by side, and Arabic widely understood in hotels, restaurants and shops.

Good for family

Many patients bring their wife or a relative. Family-friendly hotels, shopping and the Bosphorus make the trip pleasant for them while you rest.

How the visit works

Your visit, step by step

Most patients travel for treatment. Five to seven days in Istanbul, planned around you.

  1. Private online consultation

    Send us a message describing your situation. The doctor reviews it and speaks with you by video or phone, in English or through an Arabic-speaking coordinator. You receive a clear opinion on whether a prosthesis is right for you, which type, and a fixed all-inclusive price.

  2. Planning your trip

    We fix a surgery date around your schedule, send an invitation letter if you need a visa, and arrange your hotel and airport transfers. You know the full itinerary before you book a flight.

  3. Arrival and pre-operative checks

    A driver meets you at Istanbul airport. The day before surgery you meet the doctor in person, complete blood tests, ECG and an anaesthesia review, and go through the consent in your language.

  4. Surgery

    The operation takes about one hour under general or spinal anaesthesia in a fully equipped private hospital. The doctor uses a minimally invasive infrapubic or penoscrotal approach with a single small incision.

  5. Hospital stay and first check

    You stay one night in the hospital. The next morning the doctor checks the wound, removes the catheter and you return to your hotel with written aftercare instructions and a direct line to the team.

  6. Follow-up and flying home

    A second check two to four days later confirms healing, then you are cleared to fly. Activation of the implant and further follow-up happen by video from home at four to six weeks.

Common questions

Is my information kept private?

Yes. Your message goes only to the doctor and the patient coordinator. We do not share your details with anyone, and your photos and medical records are never published.

How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?

Plan for five to seven days: one day for pre-operative checks, the surgery day with one night in hospital, and a few days of rest before the second check that clears you to fly. Later follow-up is done by video call from home.

How much does it cost?

The price depends on the type of implant and your medical situation, so we quote after the consultation. Every quote is a fixed all-inclusive figure covering the implant, surgeon, anaesthesia, hospital stay, tests, transfers and follow-up. There are no additional charges afterwards.

Do I need to speak English or Turkish?

No. An Arabic-speaking coordinator is with you at every consultation, at the hospital and by WhatsApp throughout your stay. All documents are provided in Arabic or English.

Can I see Istanbul during my visit?

Yes. Your stay has quiet recovery days built in, and gentle outings are usually fine from the second or third day after surgery: a seated cruise on the Bosphorus, a short walk through Sultanahmet, or dinner by the water in Ortaköy. Your coordinator arranges a private car and a guide if you want one, and the doctor tells you exactly what to avoid, such as long walks, stairs and lifting.
