Professor Chaim MatzkinLeading urological surgeon, oncologist
Doctors at Israeli medical centers have extensive experience in the surgical treatment of malignant tumors of the prostate gland. Before starting clinical practice, a surgeon undergoes many years of training at a university, followed by specialization in their chosen field. Many specialists travel for advanced training at leading clinics in Europe and the USA, incorporating the most modern techniques for performing prostate interventions into their clinical practice.
Before the surgery, a complete examination is conducted. Using modern equipment, the doctor clarifies the localization and size of the tumor, carefully planning each stage. The Top Ichilov center performs a full range of surgical interventions for prostate cancer removal — classic open prostatectomy, minimally invasive, and robot-assisted surgeries.
Indications for Surgery
Patients with malignant tumors of the prostate gland seek the help of Israeli surgeons. Patients come to clinics at various stages of the disease — from stages when the tumor is still in its initial state (in situ) to late stages when the neoplasm has already metastasized. Our medical center also frequently sees patients with recurrences who have undergone ineffective treatment in their home countries.
Less often, prostatectomy is used for treating benign conditions — problems with bladder emptying, chronic bleeding, prostate hyperplasia, complicated by urolithiasis, and for treating hydronephrosis.

Cost of Prostate Surgery in Israel
The cost of prostate tumor removal in Israel is quite reasonable. Similar surgeries in Canadian, Italian, or American clinics cost at least 30-35% more. This fact attracts many medical tourists from various countries on both sides of the Atlantic. Many patients also come from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and other former CIS states. Israeli clinics are known for their commitment to making quality treatment accessible to a wide range of foreign citizens. Each year, more patients come here, making the country one of the leaders in international medical tourism.
