The hospital is equipped with the latest technology. It has advanced radiation therapy systems for cancer treatment – the new generation ElektaVersa HD SIGNATURE radio unit.
The hospital has Da Vinci XI robotic surgery system, Magnetom Skyra 3T MRI with minimum noise, PET-CT, gamma camera, etc. The operating theatres and intensive care wards are equipped with «Patient Lift» technology. It allows transporting patients who are unconscious or unable to move.
Bahçelievler Memorial Hospital has an advanced general and robotic surgery department. The most complicated surgical interventions can be done there. In total, the clinic has 15 operating rooms.
Organ transplantation is a priority of the Bahçelievler Memorial hospital. The success rate of kidney transplantation here is about 99%.
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%.
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.
The clinic has an Arthroscopic Center, which treats diseases of the knee, shoulder, ankle, wrist and elbow joints through arthroscopic surgery. Surgeries are performed through small skin incisions with the help of special equipment. The duration of the intervention does not exceed one hour. Patients leave the hospital a few hours after the surgery.
Bahçelievler Memorial also performs operations of bone lengthening and correction of bone deformities to treat congenital and acquired pathologies. Among foreign patients, there is a demand for joint endoprosthesis with the help of minimally invasive technologies. Such surgeries can be easily transferred and a person's freedom of movement is fully restored.

The clinic offers minimally traumatic brain and spinal cord interventions. Extremely delicate operations are performed using microscopy, ultrasonic surgical aspirator and stereotaxis. Surgical interventions that previously caused death or permanent disorders now end in recovery. In the case of spinal cord pathologies, operations on discs are performed using open and closed methods. Constriction of the spinal canal and fixation of the spine is done with the help of front and side access.
The success rate of neurosurgical interventions at the Bahçelievler Memorial clinic exceeds 92%.
The Department of Neurology deals with cases such as cerebrovascular disease, headache, epilepsy, peripheral nerve damage, muscle diseases, multiple sclerosis and sleep disorders. Neuroscientists often consult patients in other medical departments on request.
The Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital Spine Health and Surgery Centre provides diagnosis and therapy for spinal column diseases in children and adults. Pathologies such as these are treated at the Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital:
At the Centre for Health and Spinal Surgery, treatment is carried out by an interdisciplinary team consisting of specialists in orthopaedics, neurosurgery, radiology, anesthesiology, psychology, neurology and physiotherapy.
Gynaecological, urological and oncological operations are among the most difficult. Therefore, robotic surgery is actively used in these areas.
The fourth-generation Va Vinci XI robotic system is used at Bahçelievler Memorial. This unit is equipped with laser guidance systems and a lightweight endoscope. It enables heavy operations with even greater precision.
Da Vinci Surgery has many advantages. Among the main advantages are low injury rate and minimal blood loss. The example of robotic prostatectomy highlights such advantages of using the da Vinci system:
Specialists of the Hematology department carry out diagnostics and therapy of benign and malignant blood diseases. This department specializes in the treatment of lymphoma, multiple myeloma, acute and chronic leukaemia, as well as BMT. Various methods of treatment of haematological pathologies are applied here, in particular:
The Hematology Department provides qualified assistance together with several departments of immunology, blood bank, radiology, intensive care, and the highest efficiency in the treatment of blood cancer. For example, the combination of new drugs and autologous stem cell transplants can achieve remission in 95% of patients with multiple myeloma.
