Doctors from Israeli medical centers have immense experience in the surgical treatment of malignant neoplasms of the prostate gland. Before starting clinical practice, a surgeon undergoes many years of training at a university, then specializes in their chosen field. Many specialists travel for advanced training in leading clinics in Europe and the USA, incorporating the most modern techniques for performing interventions on the prostate into their clinical practice.
Before the surgery, a complete examination is conducted. Using modern equipment, the doctor clarifies the localization and size of the tumour, carefully planning each stage. The Top Ihilov 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 neoplasms of the prostate gland come to seek help from Israeli surgeons. Patients approach clinics at various stages of the disease — starting from stages when the tumour 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 to treat benign conditions — problems with bladder emptying, chronic bleeding, prostate hyperplasia complicated by urolithiasis, and for the treatment of hydronephrosis.

Cost of Prostate Surgery in Israel
The price for prostate tumour 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 the widest range of foreign citizens. Each year, more and more patients come here, making the country one of the leaders in international medical tourism.
