Miroslav's Journey to Recovery: A Neobladder Reconstruction StoryTest

At Medicte, we partner with Acıbadem Health Group, a beacon of advanced urology treatments and innovative surgical solutions in Türkiye. We bring you the inspiring story of Miroslav, a 49-year-old Serbian gentleman, who found hope and healing through our health tourism pathway.

The Challenge: Facing Bladder Cancer

Miroslav's ordeal began with alarming symptoms: pain and blood in his urine. A diagnosis in Belgrade confirmed his worst fears — bladder cancer. Determined to find the best care, his search led him to Acıbadem's renowned Urology Department, thanks to a serendipitous encounter with an online advertisement.

The Acıbadem Advantage: Expertise Meets Innovation

Acıbadem stands out with its commitment to pioneering techniques in treating urological cancers. The team, led by Professor Mustafa Sofikerim, specializes in radical cystectomies and neobladder reconstructions — a testament to their dedication to offering life-enhancing treatments.

Treatment Journey: Radical Cystectomy and Neobladder Reconstruction

Miroslav's treatment involved a radical cystectomy, followed by the innovative neobladder reconstruction using his small intestine. This intricate surgery, lasting about six hours, was performed with precision and care, leading to a successful outcome without the need for further chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

A New Beginning: Life Post-Surgery

Just ten days post-surgery, Miroslav was discharged, cancer-free and optimistic. His story doesn't just highlight his bravery; it underscores the life-altering care provided by Acıbadem, facilitated by Medicte's seamless health tourism services. Miroslav's journey from fear to relief reflects our commitment to ensuring a healthy, hopeful future for our patients.
