About the clinic

Lokman Hekim Istanbul Hospital in Turkey provides complete diagnostics and surgical treatment for spinal cord injuries. Diagnostic tests like a blood count are around $109, an MRI of the spine cord runs about $575-650, and specialized surgical packages start at $8,000. The clinic is DIN EN ISO 9001 certified and offers all-inclusive care packages with advanced neuromonitoring technology.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Process

Patients start with a consultation with a neurosurgeon. A full diagnostic workup helps plan the correct treatment. This evaluation includes:

Complete blood count to assess overall health.
MRI of the spine cord for detailed images of nerve structures.
CT scan or MRI of one area to visualize bones and soft tissues.

Surgical Treatment Options

The clinic performs two major types of spinal surgery for injuries. Both procedures use modern implants and technology.

The posterior stabilization surgery treats a pars defect in the lower back (L5-S1). It uses a posterior approach with six screws and two rods for stability. Surgery is performed with intraoperative neuromonitoring for safety. Hospital stay is typically three days.

The cervical laminectomy addresses injuries in the neck area. This is a 2-level procedure to relieve pressure on the spinal cord. It includes posterior cervical instrumentation. Patients also stay in the hospital for about three days.

All-Inclusive Surgical Packages

These surgical options come as comprehensive packages. The posterior stabilization package typically costs around €8,500. The cervical laminectomy package is about $8,000. Each includes:

3 days of hospitalization with medications and nursing.
Pre-operative examination by an anesthesia specialist.
Airport, hotel, and clinic transfers.
Interpreter services.

The lumbar surgery package also includes a 10-day hotel stay after discharge. It provides a free follow-up examination. Patients receive full support for their recovery journey in Istanbul.

The moment I saw the result, even with the initial swelling, I could tell the shape was exactly what I wanted

The moment I saw the result, even with the initial swelling, I could tell the shape was exactly what I wanted. It’s a great feeling. My goal was a more defined tip, and that's precisely what the surgeon delivered using an open approach. The whole process was smooth, and the staff were genuinely caring. The most difficult part of recovery so far is just having to sleep upright, which is temporary. A huge bonus is that I am breathing perfectly through my nose already. I am so grateful for the surgeon's skill and the clear communication from the team.

He actually sketched out the future shape of my beard and showed me photos of his previous work, which immediately cleared up any doubts I had

What gave me the most confidence was the conversation I had with the doctor before the procedure. He didn’t just listen; he actually sketched out the future shape of my beard and showed me photos of his previous work, which immediately cleared up any doubts I had. The doctor personally carried out the entire transplant procedure, transplanting 2,000–3,000 grafts using the DHI method. Now, whilst I’m recovering, I feel better than I expected. The support from the clinic is a great help: they’re always available, take an active interest in how I’m feeling, and provided clear aftercare instructions. There were no hidden charges. If you’re planning to have the procedure, bear in mind that you don’t need to bring anything special with you; they’ll provide everything you need on the day.

Everything was brilliant, the staff were brilliant, and the doctor was a real charmer! As it turned out, the person accompanying me actually had a shared history with my home town. Everything was top-notch! And the most important lesson I learnt was how skilfully they sold me their service! As we work in the service sector, this is an invaluable lesson.

Everything went smoothly

My consultation with the surgeon was clearly. He was very honest about the level of breathing improvement I could expect, which I appreciated, and it was reassuring that he personally handled both the initial meeting and my septoplasty with rhinoplasty. I’m still in the early stages of healing, but I'm feeling better than expected. The procedure was done under general anesthesia. The support afterward has been solid; the clinic gave me a clear aftercare guide and the staff has always been easy to reach. It was also a relief that there were no additional expenses beyond what was quoted. Everything went smoothly.

Everything was beyond expectation, from the online support until the day we came back was everything great, no worries about anything, the staff was lovely, the doctor make you feel very comfortable with everything, and translators were really kind. Felt very safe every step of the way.

I would absolutely recommend this clinic

What worried me most was how I'd manage the recovery, especially the no-sitting rule. It's a challenge. Finding a comfortable sleeping position has been the hardest part so far. My projection already looks good, although it is still quite swollen. The areas where they performed the VASER lipo feel lumpy and hard, which I understand is part of the early healing process. Despite the discomforts of recovery, the surgeon and the entire staff were supportive and professional, which made a huge difference. I would absolutely recommend this clinic.

Staff are friendly and the clinic was professionally clean and the nurses were friendly always at your service when you need them everything was properly organised from airport transport to hospital I loved the clinic it was very comfortable wouldn’t mind staying there throughout my recovery,the doctor was friendly always coming to check on you.

The clinic food 2/5 Mayb because I’m not used to Turkish cuisine I ate fruits most of the time.

The doctor is brilliant; he did everything to the highest standard

Everything was quick and efficient. There was a mix-up with my tickets, so I arrived a day early; they arranged a hotel for me, and the price we’d originally agreed on didn’t change. The doctor is brilliant; he did everything to the highest standard. I’m still in the recovery process, but it’s already clear that the result is fantastic. Thanks to Olesya, the interpreter, for her promptness, even outside working hours.
