Persistent fatigue, abdominal pain, digestive disorders, or jaundice? These signs may indicate serious liver conditions, such as advanced cirrhosis, liver tumors, or other severe complications. Ignoring these symptoms can put your life at risk, as a diseased liver can no longer perform its vital functions.

In such cases, hepatectomy in Turkey offers an effective solution. This surgical procedure removes the diseased part of the liver, restores its function, and helps prevent the progression of complications.

Cost of a hepatectomy in Turkey

The cost of a hepatectomy in Turkey varies based on the complexity of the procedure and the patient's overall health condition.

On average, prices range between $6,950 and $13,000, making Turkey a cost-effective option for high-quality liver surgery.

Hepatectomy is indicated for various conditions. Here are the most common ones:

IndicationDescriptionGoal of Hepatectomy
Liver TumorsAbnormal growth of liver cells, benign (adenomas) or malignant (carcinomas, metastases)Remove the tumor to prevent progression, preserve healthy tissue, and improve prognosis
Cysts or AbscessesFluid- or pus-filled sacs caused by infection or malformationRemove the cyst/abscess to eliminate infection and relieve symptoms
Liver MalformationsCongenital or acquired abnormalities, such as bile duct dilation or vascular malformationsCorrect the malformation and restore normal liver function
Severe Infectious DiseasesBacterial or parasitic infection causing lesions or abscessesExcise the infected part to control infection and protect the rest of the liver

Each case is unique, and the decision to perform a hepatectomy depends on your overall health, the size and location of the lesion, as well as the recommendations of the medical team in Turkey.

Surgical Hepatectomy techniques available in Turkey

Hepatectomy can be performed using different surgical approaches, each adapted to the size, location, and complexity of the liver lesion:

TechniqueDescriptionAdvantagesAverage Duration

The choice of surgical technique is personalized and depends on several factors. Your doctor will determine the most appropriate approach for your case.

Potential risks and complications

As with any major surgical procedure, hepatectomy carries certain potential risks, which our medical teams monitor closely to ensure your safety. The most common complications, along with the preventive measures taken by our team, include:

RiskDescriptionPrevention
HemorrhageDue to the liver's rich blood supplyIntensive monitoring and careful vessel ligation
InfectionPostoperative infectionProphylactic antibiotics and strict aseptic care
Injury to nearby organsGallbladder, intestinesPrecise surgical technique and continuous monitoring
Bile leakageBile drainage from the liverProper drainage and postoperative follow-up
Liver failure
Rare, depending on extent of resection
Preoperative evaluation and supervised liver regeneration

Rest assured, despite these potential risks, our trusted partner clinics ensure a safe, closely monitored, and professional environment at every stage of your care.

Postoperative follow-up and recovery after hepatectomy

After the procedure, the hospital stay typically lasts 5 to 7 days, during which the patient is closely monitored for pain management, liver function, and the prevention of infections or blood-related complications.

Once discharged, regular follow-up appointments allow for early detection of any complications and adjustment of treatment if necessary.

The liver has a unique ability to regenerate. The speed and extent of this regeneration depend on the patient's age, overall health, and the size of the resection. With careful monitoring, the patient can gradually regain energy, comfort, and quality of life.

With Turquie Santé, you benefit from comprehensive support before, during, and after your surgery to maximize your recovery.
