Why choose Cyprus or Turkey for gastric surgery?

Both Cyprus and Turkey are established destinations for high-quality, cost-effective gastric and general surgical care. Our hospitals are accredited, use modern laparoscopic techniques, and offer:

  • Multidisciplinary teams (surgeons, anaesthetists, dietitians, oncologists).

  • Preoperative assessment and tailored care plans.

  • Postoperative follow-up packages and telemedicine for patients abroad.

  • Private rooms, translators and coordinated travel arrangements.

Our Gastric Procedures

Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy)

A durable, surgical weight-loss solution in which a portion of the stomach is removed to reduce volume and appetite. Ideal for patients with significant BMI where lifestyle changes alone are insufficient.

  • Who it’s for: BMI typically ≥35, or BMI 30–35 with obesity-related comorbidities.

  • Benefits: Long-term weight loss, improvement in diabetes and hypertension.

  • Recovery: Laparoscopic approach — most patients stay 1–3 nights, gradual diet progression over weeks.

Gastric Botox (Intragastric Botulinum Injection)

A minimally invasive endoscopic procedure where botox is injected into the stomach wall to slow gastric emptying and reduce appetite.

  • Who it’s for: Individuals seeking a less invasive trial of appetite suppression as part of a weight-loss plan.

  • Benefits: Day-case procedure.

  • Recovery: Short Recovery. Best combined with diet and behaviour change.

Gastric Balloon (Intragastric Balloon)

A temporary, endoscopic option: a balloon is placed in the stomach to reduce capacity and encourage weight loss over 6–12 months.

  • Who it’s for: Patients with moderate obesity seeking non-surgical assistance.

  • Benefits: Reversible, avoids cutting or stapling.

  • Recovery: Discharge after 1-2 nights; follow-up with dietetics.

  • Looking for a non-surgical option?
    We also offer the Allurion swallowable gastric balloon in Cyprus, a non-surgical weight loss solution with no anaesthetic or endoscopy required. [Learn more about the swallowable gastric balloon in Cyprus]

Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication (Acid Reflux Surgery)

A laparoscopic anti-reflux operation for severe GERD (acid reflux) that hasn’t responded to medical therapy.

  • Who it’s for: Chronic reflux, hiatus hernia, aspiration risk.

  • Benefits: Long-term symptom control, reduces medication dependence.

  • Recovery: Short hospital stay; return to normal activity within 2–4 weeks.

Looking for a Non-Surgical Alternative?

Not everyone wants or needs weight loss surgery. We also offer the Allurion swallowable gastric balloon in Cyprus, a non-surgical, anaesthetic-free weight loss option.

The Allurion balloon is swallowed in capsule form, requires no endoscopy, and supports portion control and lifestyle change over a 16-week programme. This treatment is available in Lefkosa, Cyprus only and is ideal for patients seeking a less invasive approach.

Cancer & complex upper GI surgery

We work with specialist oncological surgeons and multidisciplinary teams for cancer operations and follow-up care.

  • Colon & Rectal Cancer: Laparoscopic and open colectomy/rectal resections, enhanced recovery pathways and stoma support if required.

  • Stomach (Gastric) Cancer: Subtotal or total gastrectomy with lymph node clearance and reconstruction as indicated.

  • Pancreatic Cancer (Whipple / Pancreaticoduodenectomy): Complex surgery for head of pancreas tumours — performed in our state of the art hospital with critical care support.

  • Breast Cancer: Diagnostic, oncological and reconstructive options coordinated alongside systemic therapy.

  • Thyroid Surgery (with Nerve Monitoring): For completeness of head & neck care — thyroidectomy with recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring for safety.

Safety, accreditation & nerve monitoring

Patient safety is paramount. Our partner hospitals are accredited and use modern techniques:

  • Laparoscopic and robotic assistance where appropriate.

  • Intraoperative nerve monitoring for thyroid surgery and nerve-sparing approaches when possible.

  • Onsite intensive care for major procedures (Whipple).

What to expect — consultation, travel & recovery

  1. Initial enquiry & virtual consultation: Send photos/records and discuss medical history.

  2. Preoperative assessment: Blood tests, ECG, imaging and anaesthetic review.

  3. Hospital stay & procedure: Most bariatric procedures are day-case to short-stay; cancer operations require longer admission.

  4. Postoperative care & follow-up: Dietician support, wound care, physiotherapy and online check-ups when you return home.

  5. Long-term: For weight-loss surgery, ongoing lifestyle support is essential to maintain results.
