Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul is Turkey's primary hub for robotic urology, concentrating most of the country's da Vinci systems. Choosing a center with high surgical volume often yields better value. For instance, Anadolu Medical Center is affiliated with Johns Hopkins Medicine and features surgeons with over 900 robotic cases. Clinics like Men's Health, founded by specialists in robotic oncology, offer specialized expertise that justifies premium package tiers.
