The guide draws on the founder’s experience of seeking surgery and the practical questions raised by people considering top surgery in Turkey.

ISTANBUL, TR / ACCESS Newswire / October 15, 2026 / Top Surgery Istanbul, founded by Neda Deniz, has published a practical guide for international patients researching FTM top surgery in Istanbul, Turkey. The English-language resource brings together questions about choosing a provider, understanding a proposed package, preparing for travel and arranging follow-up after returning home.

The guide is available on the Top Surgery Istanbul website and is intended for people at different stages of their research, including those who have yet to decide whether to travel. It sets out information to request before booking and distinguishes the agency’s coordination role from the assessments and decisions that belong to a treating clinician.

Neda Deniz began his own transition in 2015. Following his operations in 2020, people abroad began contacting him to ask about his experience and the options available in Turkey. Their questions reflected difficulties he had encountered when researching his own surgery.

“When I was researching my own surgery, I found very little information online about the options I was looking for in Turkey,” said Deniz. “After my operations, other people started asking me questions. I began sharing what I had learned, and those conversations became the starting point for the business.”

Deniz developed a website and used social media to share information. He also attended community events abroad and met people considering surgery. The early work involved finding clinical partners and learning how to run a business in a new field. He invested his own resources through a financially difficult period and recalls considering whether he could continue. In 2022, he established his health tourism agency.

His experience continues to inform the questions he hears from prospective patients. Alongside questions about surgery, people ask how to organise a trip, what a package includes, whom they will speak to and how communication will continue after they leave Turkey. Deniz describes his contribution as helping people explain what they are seeking and coordinating the practical arrangements around their treatment.

The new guide gives these considerations a written structure. Readers can review questions about clinical assessment, the scope and limits of a proposed package, accommodation, payment and cancellation terms, and the arrangements for follow-up. It also encourages them to clarify who is responsible for answering clinical questions and how to seek assistance if a concern arises after returning home.

“The early years were difficult, and I thought about stopping,” said Deniz. “Being useful to people facing questions I recognised gave the work meaning. I want the information we provide to help people explain what they need and understand what they are arranging.”

The guide is designed to support conversations with providers and clinicians. Individual suitability, treatment choices and recovery advice require assessment by an appropriately qualified clinician. Travel and financial decisions should be based on the specific arrangements confirmed for each patient.
