A practical plan for a hip replacement trip to Turkey: what to send the surgeon, how long to stay, what the package covers and how to arrange physiotherapy at home.
02.10.2026
Most of what makes a hip replacement trip to Turkey go smoothly happens before you board the plane: the right imaging, a clear choice of technique, a realistic length of stay and a physiotherapy plan waiting for you at home. This guide walks through the planning steps in the order you will meet them.
The surgeon cannot quote or plan properly without seeing your X-rays or MRI, your current medication and any previous operations. Send these to MedAgent first; we prepare a personalized quote and plan, and the orthopedic surgeon reviews your imaging before anything is booked.
Standard cementless total hip arthroplasty is a well-established, widely performed technique, with prices from $13,000 (up to $17,000 for more complex cases). Robotic-assisted replacement uses computer-guided precision for implant positioning and starts from $25,000. Your surgeon advises which suits your anatomy after reviewing your imaging.
This is longer than for most cosmetic procedures, and for good reason. The stay covers the operation, the hospital days, initial rehabilitation and the follow-up check-ups. Most patients start walking with support within days, but your team wants to see you moving safely before you travel.
A typical package includes consultation and surgical planning, the procedure and hospital stay, initial physiotherapy and post-operative check-ups, hotel accommodation, airport–hospital–hotel transfers and an interpreter. Ask what is not included, such as flights and any extra imaging.
Book flexible flights and ask your surgeon when you are cleared to fly and what precautions to take on a long journey, such as moving regularly and any compression or blood-thinning advice. Request assistance at the airport and pack light.
Rehabilitation continues for several weeks after you return. Find a physiotherapist in advance and bring the rehabilitation plan from Turkey so they can continue from where the hospital stopped. For what the weeks after surgery look like, see our hip replacement recovery guide.
Can I travel alone?
It is possible, but a companion makes the first weeks far easier, especially for the journey home. Tell us in advance and we will plan around it.
Is robotic surgery right for everyone?
Suitability is assessed individually based on your imaging and overall health.
Who handles follow-up after I return?
We stay in touch and support your follow-up and physiotherapy plan remotely.
This page is general information, not medical advice. Suitability, technique and results are determined individually by a licensed surgeon.
Send us what you already have — the pathology report, imaging on disc, discharge summaries. A specialist at a partner hospital will review it and tell you what is realistic in your case and how quickly treatment could begin. Reviewing your documents costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
