LIV Hospitals: Ankara

Liv Hospital Ankara brings together leading specialists in the treatment of all types of diseases in adults, the elderly and children. The hospital’s comprehensive approach to medical care means that patients from all over the world come to Liv Hospital Ankara for treatment.

The hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art radiation therapy machines, Varian TrueBeam STx, Da Vinci robotic system, and its own laboratory, which speeds up the treatment process and makes the patients’ stay in the hospital more comfortable.

Liv Hospital Ankara has been accredited by the prestigious JCI (Joint Commission International), thus proving the high standard of medical care for foreign patients on an international level.

Hair Transplant Center

For the treatment of alopecia (hair loss) doctors take hair follicles from the donor site of the patient. Usually this area is the back of the head. During the transplantation, specialists transplant the maximum number of hair grafts.

Specialists at the LIV Clinic perform hair transplants using the modern FUE method of follicular union extraction. The main advantage of this technique is a hair transplant without incisions or stitches. During the entire procedure, the patient is conscious, under local anesthesia.

The center conducts hair transplantation to the beard area, vertex, and even eyebrows. After the procedure, the patient is treated with PRP therapy. During the procedure, platelet-rich plasma is injected into the transplanted hair area. Platelets are rich in special growth factors, which accelerate the process of skin repair, and new hair follicles are more likely to take root in the new area.

Check-Up Diagnosis

For comprehensive body diagnosis, LIV Clinic specialists have developed special check-up programs, allowing the prevention and early detection of diseases. The doctor chooses the program according to the gender and age of the patient, and the presence of previously identified diseases.

The advantage of a check-up at LIV Hospital is:

• Speed. As a rule, a comprehensive body diagnosis takes no more than one day.
• Cost. A pre-designed program of diagnostics is significantly less expensive than doing the same tests separately.
• Comfortability. All examinations and laboratory tests can be performed within the same medical center.

Interventional Radiology Department

The Liv Clinic is equipped with latest technology for non-surgical treatment of various diseases of the brain, spinal cord and internal organs. The new angiography system allows for navigation during these procedures. Usually, patients can be discharged from the hospital immediately after the procedure.

The radiology department performs minimally invasive interventions such as:

• Tongue-needle biopsy and Tru-Cat biopsy of parenchymatous organs: lung, liver, pancreas, etc.
• Treatment of varicose veins,
• Treatment of myoma and adenomyosis with embolization,
• Drainage of abscesses, removal of fluid in the abdominal and thoracic cavities,
• Stenting and plasty of vessels,
  Minimally invasive treatment of aortic aneurysms.
• Local tumor ablation when surgery is not possible with radiofrequency and microwave ablation, Nano-knife system.

Ablation and stenting procedures are performed via catheterization of the femoral and other arteries under the guidance of a computer navigation system. Thin electrode tips or special surgical instruments smaller than a matchstick are inserted through the catheter.

Minimally invasive surgery in the Department of Interventional Radiology reduces the risk of complications and speeds up the recovery of the patient since no rehabilitation is needed.

Cardiac Surgery Department

All kinds of heart surgeries for adults and children are performed here. The department is rigorously certified by the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) as a Center of Excellence for Robotic Surgery.

The cardiac surgeons collaborate with specialists in cardiology, neurology, endocrinology, nephrology and radiology, providing a multidisciplinary approach to treating complex cases.

The surgical and intensive care units are equipped and internationally experienced specialists make complex cardiac interventions possible in children from 0 to 8 years of age.

Aortocoronary bypass surgery, stenting and heart valve surgery are performed using minimally invasive techniques without cutting into the chest.
