The penile implant programme
Penile implant surgery in Turkey, led by Prof. Kadıoğlu. Inflatable and malleable devices are chosen with each patient, and every operation follows the non-touch infection prevention protocol.
In the series published by Dr J. François Eid and colleagues, this approach combined with antibiotic-coated implants was associated with an infection rate of 0.46%.1 Your own risk depends on your health, and your surgeon will talk it through with you.

- Step 1

The skin is prepared and covered so it cannot touch the device.
- Step 2
Fresh gloves and instruments
The team changes gloves and instruments after the first incision.
- Step 3
A sterile window
The implant passes only through the drape's window, never across skin.
- Step 4

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to what men ask us first. For anything else, message us in confidence.
All questionsWho is a penile implant suitable for?
Men with erectile dysfunction that has not responded to, or cannot be treated with, tablets, injections or vacuum devices. This often follows prostate surgery, diabetes, Peyronie's disease or pelvic injury. The surgeon confirms suitability after examining you.
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?
Usually about six days for implant surgery, including your examination, the operation, one or two nights in hospital and a final check before you fly home.
How much does a penile implant cost in Istanbul?
Our Basic penile prosthesis package includes the implant, surgeon's fee, hospital stay, hotel and transfers. You receive a personalised quote after your free consultation.
Can I have a consultation before I travel?
Yes. You can send your questions and medical reports by WhatsApp or book a free video consultation. Nothing is booked until you are ready.
What are the risks?
As with any operation, risks include infection, bleeding, mechanical failure of the device over time and erosion. An implant is a permanent change to the erection tissue. Your surgeon will explain your individual risks before you decide.
Which doctor will I see?
Patients are matched to a specialist according to their diagnosis. Penile implant surgery is led by Prof. Dr. Ateş Kadıoğlu, and our team includes urologists and andrologists who treat erectile dysfunction, Peyronie's disease, premature ejaculation and penile aesthetic concerns.
What is The Man Cave?
The Man Cave is our men's health magazine, with plain-English articles on sexual health, urology, the prostate, testosterone, fertility and new research. It is for information only and does not replace a consultation. For a diagnosis or treatment plan, you can speak to one of our specialists.
