LIV Hospital Ulus Istanbul
About the hospital
LIV Hospital Ulus Istanbul was opened in 2013 on an area of 30,000 m² for high-quality patient care, focusing on cancer and organ transplantation. 320 highly qualified doctors ensure uninterrupted work and high-quality treatment.
The modern, spacious building with 154 beds and 8 operating theaters includes 70 departments. Annually, 331,500 patients choose the medical center. JCI and TUV NORD DIN EN ISO are guarantors of the safety of treatment in the clinic. In addition, the hospital is a recognized center of excellence for colorectal, robotic and metabolic surgery.
Doctors pay great attention to minimally invasive surgical methods and constantly update their knowledge in cooperation with advanced international hospitals and associations. The medical center became the first to receive certification from the Surgical Review Corporation outside of America for the impeccable use of Da Vinci Xi. Technology is used to treat intestines, stomach, liver, kidneys, and prostate tumors. Also, robotic surgery is available in joint replacement and spine surgery, thanks to MAKOplasty and the AO Spine robotic system. MAKOplasty not only keeps the ligaments and muscles intact but also extends the service life of the endoprosthesis by two times compared to the classical method. Orthopedists successfully perform more than 2,300 operations annually. To improve spinal operations, doctors periodically take AO Spine courses in Switzerland. Medics also successfully used another modern device - the Versa HD Hexapod linear accelerator for radiotherapy, which is unique due to its adjustment to the patient's breathing movements. Also available for oncological treatment is Cold Cap Therapy chemotherapy with reduced toxic effects on hair loss, IMRT, IGRT, SBRT, 4D brachytherapy, and TrueBeam STx.
Modern multidisciplinary private LIV Medical Center Ulus Istanbul offers multi-complex treatment and high-precision diagnostics under one. Gynecologists, gastroenterologists, general and specialized surgeons, oncologists, orthopedists, neurologists, cardiologists, endocrinologists, and ENT specialists work here. In addition, a dental service and a hair transplant center have been developed as additional services.
Does the clinic provide ophthalmic treatment?
Doctors have the necessary equipment for treating eye diseases and vision correction. In particular, ophthalmologists treat myopia and astigmatism by implanting TriFocal multifocal lenses and AddOn mono-focal lenses for cataracts. Excimer Laser vision is also available.
Will I receive rehabilitation after arthroplasty?
Biofeedback (BOS) allows the patient to assess the recovery progress and change the rehabilitation plan if necessary. The Cybex trainer allows you to develop muscles, tendons, and joints without the risk of complications and injury. Rehabilitation is also available after complex treatment.
Does LIV Hospital Ulus Istanbul remove prostate tumors with DaVinci robotic surgery?
In collaboration with oncologists, urologists use Da Vinci Xi for high-precision prostate removal without disturbing sexual and urinary function. In addition, 3D imaging allows the surgeon to avoid injury to healthy tissues and structures.
