Dr. Mehmet Besir Surme offers vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) for epilepsy at Eskişehir City Hospital in Turkey. The complete program costs $25,000 USD. This price includes the VNS device, surgery, and 10 days of hospital care.
The VNS treatment helps patients with epilepsy who don't respond well to medication. A small device is implanted under the skin. It sends regular electrical signals to the vagus nerve in the neck. These signals help reduce seizure frequency.
The $25,000 package covers everything needed for treatment:
The program takes 10 days total. Patients arrive at Istanbul airport. VIP transfer takes them to Eskişehir City Hospital. The medical team runs all necessary blood tests before surgery. They also complete anesthesia preparation.
After the VNS surgery, patients stay in the hospital for recovery. The team monitors progress closely. When ready for discharge, VIP transfer takes patients back to their hotel or airport.
