Penile Implant Cost in Turkey vs UK, USA & Australia (2025)

Why Do So Many Men Choose Turkey for Penile Implant Surgery?

The number of international patients choosing penile implant surgery in Turkey has grown dramatically over the past decade. The primary driver is straightforward: exceptional surgical expertise at a fraction of the cost charged in Western Europe and North America — without any compromise on the quality of the implant device, the surgeon's credentials, or the standard of hospital care.

This guide provides a transparent, evidence-based breakdown of penile implant costs across countries, and explains exactly what is included in an all-inclusive treatment package in Istanbul.

What is Included in Turkey's All-Inclusive Package?

A typical all-inclusive penile implant package in Istanbul from Andro Expertise includes:

• Pre-operative consultation with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Zülfü Sertkaya
• Full pre-operative blood tests, ECG and anaesthesia assessment at Biruni University Hospital
• Penile prosthesis surgery (your chosen implant system)
• The implant device itself (Coloplast Titan, Boston Scientific AMS 700CX or Rigicon Trium)
• 1 night in a private hospital room at Biruni University Hospital
• 5 nights in a 4- or 5-star hotel near the clinic
• All airport transfers (arrival and departure)

• Post-operative care kit
• 6-week remote video follow-up consultation
• 24/7 WhatsApp support from a dedicated English-speaking coordinator

Why is Penile Implant Surgery Cheaper in Turkey?

The cost difference is not a reflection of lower quality. It is the result of structural economic differences between countries:

• Lower operating costs: Hospital overheads, staff costs and real estate in Istanbul are significantly lower than in London, Munich or New York
• Currency advantage: The Turkish Lira's relative weakness against the euro, pound and dollar creates inherent cost savings for international patients
• Government support for health tourism: Turkey actively promotes medical tourism, with regulatory frameworks and infrastructure designed to support international patients
• High surgical volume: High-volume surgeons like Dr. Sertkaya can achieve operational efficiencies that maintain quality while controlling costs

Does Cheaper Mean Lower Quality in Turkey?

No — and this is the most important point. The penile implant devices used at Andro Expertise (Coloplast Titan Touch, Boston Scientific AMS 700CX, Rigicon Trium) are identical to those used in the UK, USA or Germany. There is no "economy version" of these devices. The surgical technique, sterility protocols and post-operative care are all held to the same international standards.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Zülfü Sertkaya holds the FEBU (Fellow of the European Board of Urology) — one of the most rigorous urology credentials in Europe. He is a certified implanter for all three major prosthesis manufacturers. His infection rate of below 1% is exceptional by any international standard.
