You are entitled to copies of everything, and to refuse the use of your photographs in marketing. Both should be in writing.
Operative report, discharge summary, imaging, list of materials used with brands and reference numbers, and any implant passports. These belong to you and are needed by any doctor treating you afterwards.
Clinical photography is standard for planning and follow-up. Using those images publicly requires separate, explicit consent that you can decline without affecting your treatment. If a clinic bundles marketing consent into the surgical consent, that is a problem.
Turkish law (KVKK) mirrors GDPR principles, and EU patients retain GDPR rights over data processed about them. You can request access, correction or deletion — subject to the legal requirement to retain medical records for a set period.
Records are held in the hospital's system, shared only with your treating team and with you. Marketing consent is a separate, optional form — and 'no' is the default until you sign it.
Yes. Medical records are retained under Turkish law and released to you on request with identity verification.
