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.

I honestly cannot thank Dr Murat Yaman enough for the care, kindness, and professionalism he showed me throughout my breast surgery journey

I honestly cannot thank Dr Murat Yaman enough for the care, kindness, and professionalism he showed me throughout my breast surgery journey. I travelled from the UK to have a breast lift with implants ( 450 cc motiva implants under the muscle ), and from the very beginning, Dr Yaman made me feel comfortable, reassured, and confident that I was in safe hands. I am so happy with my results so far and I am truly grateful for his skill, attention to detail, and the beautiful work he has done. Not only is Dr Yaman an incredibly talented surgeon, but he is also a genuinely kind and caring person who made me feel looked after while I was away from home. I also want to say a huge thank you to all the staff who cared for me after my breast lift and implant surgery. Every member of the team was amazing, patient, and supportive throughout my recovery, and their kindness meant so much to me, especially during the early days after such a big procedure. Having surgery abroad was a big decision, and I had many emotions going into it, but I always felt that I was being cared for post surgery. I truly appreciate the hospitality, compassion, and dedication shown by Dr Yaman. I would happily recommend Dr Murat Yaman to anyone considering breast surgery. I am extremely pleased with my experience and my results so far, and I am already planning to return next year for another procedure because of the trust and confidence I have in him and his team. Thank you again for everything — I truly appreciate you all. ❤️

What I liked most about my experience with Dr Murat Yaman and his team was how cared for and comfortable I felt throughout my breast surgery journey. From my consultation, I felt listened to and reassured, and Dr Yaman took the time to understand the results I wanted from my breast lift and implants. I really appreciated his professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. He made me feel confident in my decision and I felt that I was in safe hands throughout the process. The aftercare and support from the staff were also amazing. Everyone who looked after me after surgery was caring, patient, and supportive, which made such a difference while recovering away from home. Overall, what I liked most was the combination of Dr Yaman’s skill, his caring approach, and the genuine hospitality shown by the whole team. I am very happy with my experience and my results so far.

I can honestly give 5 *

From start to finish, the whole experience went smoothly. Communication was exceptional, and having a translator helped greatly—I understood what was happening more than I would have in my local hospital. The doctor was open and honest, explaining exactly where the scars on both my arms would be, their visibility, and how to position my arms for recovery. I would have liked an itinerary with timings and some aftercare instructions in paper format. That said, the clinic is easy to reach and stays in touch with clear guidance. I am feeling better than expected. My only extra cost was the flight. Definitely bring lots of baggy clothes and some snacks. I can honestly give 5 *

From start to finish the whole experience went smoothly. Communication between staff and Dr was exceptional and by having a translator present helped greatly. Understood what and when was happening more than I would have in my local hospital. Clean, Caring, Smooth transitions, patient led and patient at the front of every decision, even being home I can contact the clinic and get a timely response. The Dr was open and honest, had a great sense of humor and has given me some neat scars. The staff were fabulous , they listened and talked you through as much or as little as you wanted

I would have liked an itinerary, some more information of where to be at what time and how I was getting there. Some aftercare in paper format so that I could go back and read that rather than contacting the clinic would be great.

He was honest about realistic results, examined me thoroughly, and explained the technique—liposuction with gland excision—very clearly

The conversation with my surgeon before the procedure really set the tone. He was honest about realistic results, examined me thoroughly, and explained the technique—liposuction with gland excision—very clearly. I’m still early in my recovery, but I’m feeling better than expected. The support afterward has been solid. The clinic has stayed in touch and gave me a straightforward aftercare guide. The only additional expenses were for recovery medications and compression garments, which was a small and predictable cost. A piece of advice for others: make sure you confirm the most direct route to the airport pick-up location in advance and ask about which airport is most convenient for travel, as it can make a difference.

The care was exceptional. From the moment I opened conversation expressing my interest in the procedure and process, the Bookimedgroup and hospital team walked with me through every step with excellent communication, accommodating all of the travel mishaps, and ensuring that I was comfortable, and took extremely helpful steps l, at their inconvenience, to make me feel well taken care of. The coordinators, nurses, and doctors were professional, kind, and explained each detail as much as I needed to feel that the procedure would be a smooth, safe, and rewarding. I am extremely pleased with the experience, and have already recommended them to my family member, interested in a different procedure. I would be happy to work with them again, and would not even consider another option. They made things almost too easy. The facility was clean, well staffed, and made the stay as comfortable as could be asked for. Everyone was kind and caring, and really made you feel... safe. I would tell anyone on the fence, talk to the Bookimed team, even as an exploratory conversation. There was no pressure, they are sensitive to people's needs and unique situations. You will not regret it. It was a great experience, and we'll into recovery, they are reaching out, checking on my progress, making certain I am doing well. They are a very pleasent group to work with, and extremely personable. Thank you all for the great experience 🙏

Well, the hospital food is a general human complaint, and doesnt count. Sometimes the nurses and I had language difficulties l, but in most cases l, there was someone available to come and translate specific details. Otherwise, I have zero complaints. It was the best medical experience I have had, so it is difficult to site an improvement, directly.

The conversation with my surgeon before the procedure made all the difference

The conversation with my surgeon before the procedure made all the difference. He was respectful of my gender identity and carefully explained which technique would be best for my body, taking the time to discuss my chest masculinization goals. I opted for a result without nipple grafts, with a plan to get tattoos later. So far, my recovery is going about as expected. The clinic has been great about staying in touch. It was also a relief that there were no additional expenses on top of the original price. Everything was straightforward.

Everything was communicated well, and done efficiently.
