Neurosurgery is one of the most developed areas in Turkish medicine. There are 1,200 specialists working there, who annually admit more than 150,000 foreign patients for treatment. Turkish neurosurgery has gained such popularity thanks to its modern equipment at, the experience of doctors and, most importantly, the high post-surgery survival rate.
The success rate of the neurosurgery conducted in Turkey is up to 91%.
The possibility of performing neurosurgery in Turkish clinics attracts foreign patients due to several factors:
Medical centres comply with international quality standards. Most clinics are JCI accredited.
Individual multidisciplinary approach. A team of multidisciplinary specialists work on each case, which allows for a precise approach to assessing the risks of patient treatment.
Good service. The clinics provide transfers from the airport to the treatment site and are located in comfortable wards equipped with everything you need.
Robotic and laparoscopic surgery is available. The accuracy of brain surgery is particularly important, as one mistake can disrupt vital functions in the body. Therefore, priority in neurosurgical operations is given to minimally traumatic interventions.
Quick and accurate inspection thanks to 3D diagnostics.
Effective treatment of brain, neck and CNS tumours through microscopic surgery and fluorescent imaging of the affected area.
Safe anesthesia and its control at every stage of intervention, which is implemented by EcoFLOW and End-Tidal Control technologies.
A policy of high protection against infection in accordance with TS EN-ISO 14644-4 standard.
Access to the neurosurgery department help 24 hours a day.
Patients turn to Turkey for treatment of:
epilepsy;
Parkinson's disease;
essential tremor;
chronic pain;
dystonia;
Alzheimer's disease;
trigeminal neuralgia;
treatment of craniocerebral injuries;
cerebral tumours;
hydrocephalus;
facial nerve neuralgia;
removal of intervertebral hernia;
Arnold Chiari Syndrome;
spinal cyst.
The listed diseases are treated with the latest generation of drugs and surgical interventions. Such procedures are performed in Turkey:
deep brain stimulation (DBS);
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS);
vagus nerve stimulation (VNS);
focused ultrasonic ablation controlled by MRI (MRI-HIFU).
Thanks to the latest developments, the difficult access to the spinal cord and brain is not a problem anymore. Diagnostics are carried out with modern equipment, so it is safe and effective. Turkey's neurosurgery departments have such equipment:
intraoperative X-ray system type "C-arc";
electroencephalograph;
electromyography;
system for examination of SSEP and VEP;
electroneuromyography;
magnetic resonance tomography;
computer tomography;
Doppler ultrasonography.
All this equipment helps Turkish neurosurgeons assess the patient's condition as accurately as possible and make treatment decisions based on the results of examination.
Treatment of neurological disorders and neurosurgery in Turkey is possible with the Da Vinci robotic surgery, the ZeissPentero 900 surgical microscope, fluorescent surgery, neuronavigation and neuro ultrasound during operations. All these technologies increase the accuracy of the neurosurgeon's movements.
Turkish specialists focus on endoscopic and minimally invasive interventions - this allows patients to experience less postoperative pain, recover faster and return to normal life. The doctors use:
| Neuronavigation | A method for determining the exact location of a tumour in brain tissue. During the surgery, this makes it possible to visualise the affected areas and clearly separate them from healthy ones, allowing the neurosurgeon to act only in the affected area without harming normal cells. |
| Fluorescent intraoperative microscopy | With this method of imaging, the neurosurgeon determines the limits of the tumour using specialized microscopes at the time of surgery. This method makes it possible to minimize the risk of neurological disorders after surgery. |
| CUSA method (Cavitation Ultrasound Surgical Aspirator) | Selective removal of the tumour by ultrasonic destruction makes it possible to dissect soft tissue affected by cancer. This method prevents damage to the connective tissue and minimises bleeding. |
| Stereotactic method | In this case, electrodes are injected into the patient's brain or spinal cord at predetermined locations. This procedure is accurate up to 1 mm and allows penetration into any area of the brain. As a result, the doctor can perform manipulations in these areas without affecting other parts of the brain. |
Professor Mustafa Kemal is a neurosurgeon from the Liv Clinic with 20 years of experience. He specialises in the treatment of pituitary adenoma, spinal and brain tumours. He is proficient in microsurgical techniques.
Professor Nejat Akalan is a neurosurgeon at the Medipol clinic. She specialises in the treatment of childhood epilepsy. She has experience in glioma surgery, spine tumours and hernia. Her experience is over 30 years.
Professor Ali Zirh leads the world's top neurosurgeons lists. He has performed over 1,000 brain surgeries. He has received an award from the Hopkins University for invention of the microelectrode influence on individual brain cells method.
Professor Serdar Baki is a neurosurgeon and neurooncologist. He was the first doctor in the world to remove a brain glioma. He has performed more than 250 surgeries using Gamma Knife.
The price for neurosurgical procedures in Turkey is noticeably lower than in other countries with advanced healthcare. By comparison, transnasal removal of pituitary adenoma in a Turkish clinic will cost up to $23,000, while similar operations in Germany and Israel will cost between $25,000 and $40,000.
