Dr. Mehmet Besir SÜRME Clinic in Eskişehir, Turkey, provides comprehensive surgical treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy. Treatment options range from $10,000 for cortical procedures to $23,000-25,000 for advanced neuromodulation surgeries. The clinic is led by a neurosurgeon with a decade of experience performing over 1,100 neurosurgical procedures.

Available Surgical Treatments for Epilepsy

The clinic offers several advanced neurosurgical options. These are primarily for cases where medication is not effective.

• Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS): This involves implanting a small device under the skin. It sends mild electrical pulses to the vagus nerve to help reduce seizure frequency. The package for this procedure may cost around $23,000-25,000. It typically includes the VNS device, a 10-day hospital stay, 5 days of accommodation, and all airport transfers.
• Multiple Subpial Transections (MST): This surgical technique disconnects the seizure focus in the brain's outer layer. It aims to preserve vital functions while stopping seizures. The procedure may cost around $10,000. This price often covers the surgery, anesthesia, and hospital stay.
• Stereotaxic Surgeries: These are minimally invasive procedures using precise 3D targeting. They are used to reach deep or hard-to-access seizure areas with minimal disruption. This surgery also typically runs about $10,000.
• Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Surgery: This involves implanting electrodes in specific brain regions. It delivers adjustable electrical stimulation to control seizures. The DBS surgical procedure may cost around $23,000.

Diagnostics and Preparation

Before surgery, patients undergo essential diagnostic checks. These are included as part of the treatment planning.

• Pre-operative blood tests
• Anesthesia preparation and evaluation
