Memorial Sisli Clinic
(Memorial Şişli Hastanesi)

With the help of robotic surgery, many oncological diseases are treated here. Minimal incisions using the laparoscopic method allow the patient to return to normal life in 1-2 days after interention. High accuracy and reliability of the equipment allows you to treat here:

• Prostate cancer, oncogynecology;
• Kidney, bladder cancer;
• Different tumours of stomach and bowel;
• Hernia and enuresis;
• Crohn's disease and achalasia;
• Obesity;
• Obstructive sleep apnea.

If the patient's local doctors cannot determine the disease, and the funds do not allow treatment abroad, it is worth going to the Memorial Şişli Clinic for an oncological check-up. This is a less expensive service that allows you to carry out a blood test for tumor markers, biopsy, CT / MRI / PET-CT, detailed consultations with an oncologist.

Services are provided in the field of examination and diagnostics, treatment and rehabilitation of various heart diseases. Here, heart diseases can be detected even in the womb. The department of pediatric cardiology performs heart surgeries in newborns.
It was the first clinic in Turkey to perform arrhythmia radiofrequency ablation.

One should consider Memorial Sisli for treatment of:

• Vascular stenting;
• Heart valve replacements;
• Coronary artery bypass surgery;
• Angioplasty (vascular reconstruction);
• Pacemaker insertion;
• Ablation.

Many methods of treating the heart and blood vessels were either developed within the walls of this hospital, or were used here for the first time. The now well-known and widely used method of coronary artery bypass surgery (when a vessel is taken from the upper limb to be replaced in the required place) was developed precisely at the Şişli Memorial Clinic.

• Coronary artery bypass surgery is done using a special AESOP robot. These procedures are minimally invasive and carry a lower risk of complications. Şişli Memorial often uses thermal imagers during operations, which increases the accuracy of the surgeon's work.
• At the Şişli Memorial Clinic, angina pectoris can be treated with enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP). This is a new non-surgical method for the treatment of coronary heart disease. It is only available in 200 hospitals around the world.
• The intensive care unit is equipped with temperature, lighting, air humidity control systems; soft soothing music plays throughout the day. The wards are also equipped with video surveillance cameras and telephones for communication.

Live-donor transplants were once thought to be potentially impossible. Now the statistics on transplantation at the Şişli Memorial Clinic speak for itself: more than 1,000 successful cases of liver transplantation have been performed here.

For this, doctors work in a team of professionals, in a tight cooperation with specialists from the department of visual diagnostics, intensive care and surgery, and inpatient observation.

Today Turkey competes with South Korea in terms of the quality of internal organ transplantation and often wins this competition. In addition, every year doctors from the United States, where the most innovative medicine in the world, come to the Şişli Memorial to take part in educational programs.

All of this makes the organ transplantation department incredibly successful and promising, helping save the lives and health of thousands of foreign patients.

Under the leadership of Professor Semra Kahraman, the department has become one of the most successful in the country.
Couples from the CIS, the USA, Germany, Italy, who have lost hope, turn to her experience and get an excellent result. More than ten thousand children have already been given birth within these walls.
In 2015, the International Medical Tourism Journal (IMTJ) awarded the Sisli Memorial Clinic with the title of “Reproductive Clinic of the Year”. All modern methods of artificial insemination are available at the hospital.

In addition, patients often come here for the diagnostics of infertility, namely:

• Hystero- and laparoscopy;
• Spermogram;
• HALO-test;
• TESA;
• misro-TSE.

This is not a complete list of examinations on the most modern equipment that can be carried out here.

Operating rooms are equipped with special filters and airflow systems, which provide absolute sterility and reduce the risk of infections after operations and manipulations. Specialised neurological rehabilitation will enable the patient to return to normal life faster.

Main specialisation: diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. For their diagnostics, the most advanced equipment is used: MRI, CT, EEG, EMG, angiography, and invasive neuroradiology. Specialists from other medical fields are involved in the study of symptoms, since neurological symptoms can be caused by diseases of different systems.

What can be treated in the Memorial Sisli Clinic:

• Cerebrovascular diseases;
• Epilepsy and headaches;
• Different forms of neurooncology;
• Multiple sclerosis;
• Peripheral nerve disorders;
• Sleep disorders and muscle diseases.

Complex brain surgeries are carried out using precise high-tech equipment, which minimises all risks. These are neuronavigation systems, microsurgery, stereotaxy and laser surgery, including the CUSA method.
