Bringing your child to a clinic far from home is not an easy decision. On this page we walk through every step of the process — from the first consultation to the completion of post-surgery check-ups — where you'll be and who you'll be working with, with nothing hidden behind a click.
Two pediatric urology specialists work together on every operation: one performs the repair while the other assists, checks, and takes over when needed. This built-in second opinion completes demanding operations with less risk.
A shared assessment and four-handed technique; a second experienced pair of eyes at the demanding steps.
Working in parallel shortens the time spent under anesthesia.
Infants and young children spend less time under anesthesia.

Four steps, two stops: the clinic and the hospital. At every step you know in advance where you'll be and what comes next.
01
Clinic
The process begins at our clinic. We assess your child together; which technique will be used and the surgery date are both settled at this first visit. This is where you can ask every question on your mind.
First visit
02
Hospital
The day before surgery you're directed to İzmir Acıbadem Kent Hospital. The necessary tests are run, the anesthesia team sees your child, and preparation for surgery is completed.
1 day before surgery
03
Hospital
The surgery itself takes place the next day, as planned. In suitable cases it's completed as day-case surgery; discharge is assessed after the observation period.
1 day after tests
04
Clinic
After discharge, you continue recovery at home or wherever you're staying. You'll come back to our clinic for dressing changes, wound checks, catheter checks and catheter removal — the team that sees you doesn't change.
After discharge
We've kept the answers short and direct. If your question isn't here, you can write to us directly.
We perform our surgeries at İzmir Acıbadem Kent Hospital. Our clinic is about 4–5 km from the hospital; a range of accommodation options is available nearby.
The overall flow spans three stages: consultation and planning at our clinic, a test day at the hospital, and surgery the next day. An observation period and discharge assessment follow.
A significant share of our surgeries are completed as day-case surgery when appropriate. Patients who meet the discharge criteria continue recovering at home or wherever they're staying after the observation period.
Follow-up steps — dressing changes, wound checks, catheter checks and catheter removal — continue at our clinic. The team that sees you from the first visit through to the final check-up doesn't change.

Tell us briefly about your situation; let's talk about how we can shape the process for you.
Let's plan your visit togetherThere are two ways. If you'd like the doctor to already know your situation before replying, start with the short assessment; if your question is brief, write to us directly. Both reach the same team.
