Organ Transplantation
Istanbul
Organ Transplantation care in Istanbul is available at 4 hospitals in the Voumed network, with 3 related treatments.
Organ transplantation replaces an organ that can no longer work with a healthy one from a donor, giving the recipient the chance of a normal, functioning life again. It is used when an organ has failed beyond what other treatments can repair, most often the liver or the kidney, and the new organ may come from a living donor who gives part or all of an organ or from a deceased donor. Transplantation is one of the most demanding fields in medicine because it brings together complex surgery, careful donor and recipient matching and lifelong specialist follow-up. Patients often travel abroad for this care because outcomes depend heavily on the experience of the transplant team and the strength of the whole programme around the operation.
