Question 1

Is penile implant surgery in Turkey as safe as in the US or Canada?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All procedures are performed in JCI-accredited hospitals using the same FDA-approved implant devices (Coloplast Titan, AMS 700) available in American hospitals. Dr. Tas follows international surgical protocols including zero-infection bundles, antibiotic-coated devices, and the no-touch technique.

Question 2

How long do I need to stay in Istanbul for penile implant surgery?

Plan for 7-8 days total. This includes pre-operative assessment (1 day), surgery and hospital stay (2 days), hotel recovery (3-4 days), and final check-up before departure.

Question 3

Can I get reimbursed by my US or Canadian insurance for penile implant surgery abroad?

Accepted Answer

Many US insurance plans, including Medicare and VA, cover penile implants when medically necessary. Safe Urology provides detailed medical reports, itemized invoices, and procedure codes (CPT 54405/54400) to support your reimbursement claim. We recommend checking with your insurer before travel.

Question 4

What if I have complications after returning home from Turkey?

Do American or Canadian citizens need a visa to visit Turkey?

Question 6

Which penile implant brand is best - Coloplast Titan, AMS 700, or Rigicon?

Coloplast Titan offers excellent rigidity and girth expansion, AMS 700 LGX provides a natural feel with length and girth expansion, and Rigicon is ideal for patients seeking maximum expansion. All brands have over 90% satisfaction rates. Dr. Tas will recommend the most appropriate device during your consultation.
