The Turkish Advantage: Quality, Affordability, and Expertise
Turkey has firmly established itself as a premier destination for medical tourism, especially in specialized fields like gastroenterology. The country's commitment to healthcare excellence provides international patients with unparalleled value and peace of mind.
- World-Class Medical Professionals: Turkish gastroenterologists are highly respected globally. Many have trained in top institutions across Europe and the United States, are board-certified, and possess extensive experience in performing complex procedures like ERCP and endoscopic ultrasounds. Their expertise ensures you receive a diagnosis and treatment plan that is both accurate and effective.

These modern facilities are equipped with the latest medical technology, including high-definition endoscopes, advanced imaging systems, and minimally invasive surgical tools, which lead to better outcomes, reduced risk, and faster recovery times.
- Significant Cost Savings: The cost of gastroenterology procedures in Turkey can be 50-70% lower than in the UK, Europe, or the US. This affordability is not a reflection of lower quality but is due to the country's lower operational costs and favorable exchange rates. You receive world-class care without the prohibitive price tag.

Our Gastroenterology Services at Fibohealth
We offer a comprehensive range of diagnostic and therapeutic services to address all types of digestive system disorders. Our expert medical teams are here to provide personalized care tailored to your specific condition.
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)
An Endoscopic Ultrasound is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a special endoscope with a high-frequency sound probe to produce detailed images of the digestive tract lining and surrounding organs like the pancreas and bile ducts. It is ideal for accurately staging cancers, evaluating pancreatitis, and investigating abnormalities found in other imaging tests.
HBV and HCV (Hepatitis B & C) Treatment
We provide advanced treatment protocols for chronic Hepatitis B and C infections. These treatments are for patients diagnosed with these viral conditions, aiming to suppress the virus, prevent liver damage, reduce the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer, and in many cases, cure Hepatitis C completely with modern antiviral medications.
Gastroscopy
A gastroscopy (or upper endoscopy) is a procedure used to visually examine your upper digestive system—the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine. It is recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms like persistent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, or abdominal pain. It is highly effective for diagnosing ulcers, inflammation, and tumors.
Gastric Polyps Removal
Gastric polyps are growths on the lining of your stomach. While most are benign, some can become cancerous. This procedure involves removing these polyps during a gastroscopy. It is for patients diagnosed with stomach polyps, and its primary benefit is preventing the potential development of stomach cancer.
Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) Procedure
A PEG is a procedure to place a feeding tube through the abdominal wall directly into the stomach. It is for patients who cannot swallow safely or get enough nutrition orally due to neurological conditions (like a stroke) or certain cancers. It provides a safe, long-term method for nutrition and hydration.
ERCP Procedure (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)
ERCP is a specialized technique used to diagnose and treat problems in the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas. It combines endoscopy with X-rays. Ideal candidates are patients with gallstones in the bile duct, blockages, or suspected tumors. It allows doctors to remove stones, open blockages, and take tissue samples without major surgery.
Cholecystectomy (Resection of Gallbladder)
A cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder, most often performed laparoscopically (minimally invasively). This procedure is the definitive treatment for patients suffering from painful gallstones, gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis), or polyps. Its main benefit is the complete resolution of symptoms and prevention of serious complications.
Gastroenterological Check-Up
A comprehensive gastroenterological check-up is designed for individuals seeking a proactive assessment of their digestive health, especially those with a family history of gastrointestinal diseases or non-specific symptoms. It typically includes consultations, blood tests, and relevant screenings like a gastroscopy or colonoscopy to detect issues early.
