3 readHypospadias: What Parents Should Know Before Circumcision
If your son’s urinary opening is on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip, see a urologist before he is circumcised. The foreskin is the most valuable tissue for the repair.
3 readUterine Prolapse: Does Every Prolapse Need Surgery?
A prolapse seen on examination is not, by itself, a reason for surgery. The decision depends on how much the symptoms limit daily life — and if surgery is needed, the method is chosen for the individual woman.
3 readWhen Tablets Are Not Enough for Overactive Bladder: Who Is Bladder Botox For?

Both are keyhole procedures and both are good operations. The question is which one suits your stone — and whether you can realistically complete treatment in a single trip.

Yes, in most cases — but a second repair is a different operation from the first, and it should be planned differently. What was done before determines what can be done now.

The honest answer is longer than most patients expect, and the reason is the catheter. Booking a return flight too early is the most common planning mistake.

3 readHoLEP in Turkey: What International Patients Should Know
HoLEP removes the obstructing prostate tissue completely rather than trimming it. For a patient travelling from abroad, that difference changes both the expected result and the recovery timetable.
3 readThe Cost of Robotic Prostatectomy in Turkey: What Actually Determines the Price
