After arriving at the hospital, the patient can choose services in several specialities:

  • Simultaneous transplantation of kidneys, liver and pancreas;
  • Removal of a donor kidney using laparoscopic surgery (intervention through the navel) or robotic technology;
  • Pediatric kidney and liver transplantation (Simultaneous or separate).

It is worth mentioning that the center works with the first accredited EFI (European Federation of Immunogenetics) immunological laboratory in Turkey, and an accurate immunological test gives more detailed information about the compatibility of the donor and recipient. This information increases the chances of operation’s success and simplifies the recovery period.

At the Koc Transplant Center, a team of experienced specialists conduct transplants with the help of modern equipment, which leads to high success rates. Let’s look at the statistics: the clinic’s specialists performed 3,000 liver transplants, out of which 400 were pediatric, success rate – 99.8%, 3,000 kidney transplants performed, out of which 300 were for children, success rate – 90%. The data speaks for itself.
