Surgical Excellence and Comprehensive Care

Organ transplantation represents one of the most complex and challenging fields within general surgery. At Medical Park, every procedure is supported by:

• State-of-the-art operating rooms and surgical technology

• Advanced perioperative care, including EUS, ERCP, and interventional radiology when needed

• Continuous follow-up and lifestyle guidance to support long-term graft function

Candidates for Transplant Surgery

Organ transplantation is the definitive treatment for patients with terminal organ failure. Transplant surgeries may be performed on patients of any age, provided their overall health condition allows. Donor organs can be obtained from living relatives (up to fourth-degree) or deceased donors. In cases of incompatibility, cross-transplantation programs offer alternative solutions.

Restoring Life Through Surgery

As one of the most remarkable achievements of modern surgery, organ transplantation not only extends survival but also restores quality of life, independence, and vitality.

Ethical and Religious Considerations

Organ donation is widely recognized as an invaluable act of saving lives. According to Turkey's Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı), organ donation is considered permissible and one of the greatest forms of helping others.
