"Bookimed coordinator Aleksey Karaganov is a very caring and highly qualified specialist who helped with the consultation and discussion of the diagnosis
She sent for PET / CT revision made at the Korean clinic Severance Hospital, because Severance made a very dubious short description, more like an unsubscribing. I chose Liv Hospital, assistant Bookimed Alexei and assistant Liv Hospital Lala all organized perfectly, data exchange by e-mail, payment at a reasonable price, three days and the description is ready, done well, in detail and clearly. Bookimed coordinator Aleksey Karaganov is a very caring and highly qualified specialist who helped with the consultation and discussion of the diagnosis.

"We are very happy with the doctor Sinan and Zahida curator, they are very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable people
Bookimed handed over our documents to Anadolu and the next day we were contacted by the curator Zakhida from Anadolu. The curator sent us a list of hotels with whom Anadolu cooperates under the contract (discount for Anadolu patients), made a reservation and organized a transfer from the airport to the hotel, made an appointment with doctors, for tests, PET CT, etc. and sent us a schedule for November 8. We arrived on November 7, we were met by a transfer from Anadolu and taken to the hotel. The next day, November 8, we went to Anadolu, we were met in the hall by the curator Zahida and the translator Muhamed. Our doctor Sinan. Analyzes, Pet CT, MRI, ultrasound of the heart and even the review of slides, the results are prepared quickly.

"The result of the consultation was more than satisfactory
The most basic and most important is the medical equipment for a complete high-quality diagnosis. A small minus is the very low quality of the Internet, from the wishes: the possibility of placing on the territory of a small street sports complex. The territory of the clinic, the ward, the clinic itself comply with all modern world standards.

Everything went quite well....first of all, of course, thanks to the girl Natalia Bruyaka, who was always in touch and helped solve all the questions that I had along the way...Thank you very much to her for her timely and quick help on throughout the entire period... Everything was organized well... we were met at the airport, a VIP transfer, a black Mercedes, the driver, unfortunately, I don’t remember his name - a great guy, just an ace, took him to the hotel... Everything in the hotel super, 5 stars, good finishing, excellent staff, we were accommodated on the 8th floor, with a beautiful view of the city.... The next day we arrived at the clinic... They paid there, and without delay, they invited us to the operating room... The team is excellent , young guys and girls, cheerful and relaxed, (they even sang songs during the transplant)... the transplant went quite quickly, they got it done in 5 hours, because the people know their stuff, they are all true professionals, both the doctor and the guy, who drew the hair line, and the girls who were assistants....Everything is at the highest level..The transplant itself is painless, only at the very beginning, when the painkiller was administered, it was a little painful, but it lasted about 10 minutes.. In general, I am satisfied with the transplant itself , I hope that the result will not be good, we’ll see in a year.. Then we were taken back to the hotel, and I spent that day in the room, did not go anywhere.... The next day I had a rest day, and the hotel staff organized a tour for us to the historical center of Istanbul... We had a great time there, and a day later they took me back to the clinic, showed me and washed my hair, and the ace driver took us to the airport... Bottom line: without much strain, I had a hair transplant and my wife and I had a great time in Istanbul, trying different dishes, making excursions and having the opportunity to shop... Thank you very much to those people who organize such tours and carry out such work... I am very grateful to them...

FAQ about The Wertheim-Meigs operation in Turkey

Extended extirpation of the uterus according to Wertheim

Extended extirpation of the uterus with appendages is one of the most complex operations in gynecological oncology . The technical complexity of the procedure is due to the removal of not only the uterus, but also the lymphatic vessels, nodes, which are in close relationship with the large vessels of the pelvis. Among other things, during the Wertheim operation, the doctor must manipulate the bladder, ureters and nerve trunks.

An effective treatment for advanced cervical cancer.

During surgery, serious complications can develop: extensive bleeding, dysfunction of the urinary tract and the appearance of fistulas in the postoperative period. Also, with insufficient radicality of the procedure, the number of relapses of the pathology increases. Given these facts, it is extremely important to choose an experienced oncosurgeon to perform the Wertheim operation . It is the professionalism of the doctor that determines the successful outcome of the operation and a favorable prognosis after the treatment of cervical cancer.


Extended extirpation of the uterus is performed at 1, 2 stages of cervical cancer in the absence of metastasis. Surgical treatment in this case is combined with sessions of chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Preoperative irradiation can significantly reduce the biological ability of cancer cells to metastasize.

Radical surgery for cervical cancer

Total hysterectomy (extirpation of the uterus)

During this operation, the surgeon removes the body and cervix. This is the most common surgical intervention in the treatment of cancer of the body and cervix. During the procedure, the appendages, ovaries and fallopian tubes are preserved.

Wertheim operation ( extended hysterectomy )

Wertheim's operation is also called an extended hysterectomy or extirpation of the uterus with appendages, adjacent tissue, lymph nodes and the upper third of the vagina. A rather traumatic surgical intervention, which is performed in the presence of highly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix without the presence of metastases and with a depth of germination of no more than 1 cm. The operation can be prescribed for long-term complications after radiotherapy, with relapses of the disease.

Radical hysterectomy

Removal of the cervix and body of the uterus with the ovaries, fallopian tubes, upper part of the vagina and lymph nodes. Indications for radical hysterectomy are endometrial cancer, oncology of the body and cervix.

Technique of the Wertheim operation

Open (cavitary) operation

The operation is performed through an open incision in the anterior abdominal wall. As a rule, it is used in cases where the tumor does not respond to any other treatment. Wertheim's operation with an open (abdominal) method is the most traumatic intervention with heavy blood loss and a long rehabilitation period. Foreign specialists, if possible, refuse the technique of open surgery in favor of laparoscopy.

Laparoscopic hysterectomy

The surgeon removes the uterus using laparoscopic equipment without large incisions in the abdomen. During the operation, the doctor makes several small incisions in the abdominal cavity, through which the tubes are inserted. Further, through the installed tubes, the necessary tools with a video camera are inserted inside. For a better view and the ability to access the uterus, the abdominal cavity is also filled with a special gas that lifts the abdominal wall above the organs. The likelihood of complications during the operation is minimized.

Examination before Wertheim's operation

general and detailed blood test (including clotting); Analysis of urine; biopsy; ECG; ultrasound.
