FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to the questions patients and families ask most often before travelling for a transplant.

Liver transplantation is the procedure of replacing a failed liver with a healthy one from a donor. It is commonly performed in cases of cirrhosis, hepatitis, or liver cancer.

The one-year survival rate is approximately 89%, and the five-year rate is about 75%, depending on overall health and transplant success.

The main risks are infections, rejection of the new liver, and bile duct problems. All of them are watched for closely during your hospital stay and follow-up visits, which is why regular check-ups and consistent medication matter so much.

Choose centres accredited by the Ministry of Health with experienced teams. Check success rates, patient services, and international certifications. Biruni Hospital is one such accredited and trusted centre.

Patient Stories

What did our patients say?

Reviews left by patients treated at the Biruni Hospital Organ Transplant Centre.

Knox. L. Larson

I had been suffering from polycystic kidney disease for years, which caused me a lot of pain and discomfort. I visited many doctors, but none of them seemed to be able to provide a solution. Then, I met Dr. Halil Erbiş, and everything changed. Thanks to Dr. Erbiş's expertise and personalized care, my condition has improved significantly. I am now able to enjoy life without the constant pain and discomfort I had been experiencing before. I would highly recommend Dr. Erbiş to anyone suffering from kidney disease.

Khelil M. Mohssin

I was diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease and was in need of a kidney transplant. Dr. Halil Erbiş was recommended to me as one of the best transplant surgeons in Turkey. From the first consultation to the post-operative follow-up visits, Dr. Erbiş was always professional, knowledgeable, and caring. He took the time to explain the transplant procedure in detail, answered all of my questions, and made sure I was fully prepared both mentally and physically for the surgery. The transplant itself was a success and I was amazed at how quickly I recovered under Dr. Erbiş's care. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I have regained my health and quality of life. I am forever grateful to Dr. Erbiş and his team for giving me a second chance at life.

Raja Hussain

I honestly cannot thank everyone at Biruni Hospital enough for the incredible care and compassion shown to us during our stay. From the admissions staff who welcomed us with kindness, to the doctors who took the time to explain everything and made us feel reassured, every single person treated us with genuine care and respect. The level of professionalism, warmth, and attention we received was exceptional.

Alegra Hahn

Everything from the original coordination via WhatsApp, transportation, and the service at the hospital was excellent. The team made sure every step was handled smoothly, including the care my daughter received. Top notch service from start to finish.

Soraya DJ

My experience at this hospital has been truly wonderful. From the very beginning, I have been deeply impressed by the exceptional care, compassion, and professionalism of the entire team. My 84-year-old father underwent three procedures, and thanks to the incredible care he received, he experienced virtually no pain.
