About the clinic

Discectomy is a surgical procedure to treat herniated disks, available at Lokman Hekim Istanbul Hospital in Turkey. The surgery may cost around €6,500 for a complete package or $4,000-$7,000 for microsurgical options. The hospital is ISO 9001 certified and led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Orkun Koban, a neurosurgeon with 19 years of experience.

About the Procedure

Discectomy removes damaged portions of a herniated disk pressing on nerves. This relieves back pain and improves mobility. The hospital offers two main techniques:

  • Lumbar microdiscectomy - minimally invasive removal of herniated disk material
  • Lumbar microsurgical discectomy - precise removal using microscopic instruments

The Surgeon

Dr. Orkun Koban specializes in spinal surgery with 1,100 procedures performed. He leads the neurosurgery department at the hospital. His expertise helps ensure optimal outcomes for complex cases.

Hospital and Packages

The ISO-certified hospital provides:

  • Latest operating room technology
  • Private nursing care
  • 3-5 night hospital stays

Packages include diagnostics, transfers, hotel stays, and follow-up care. This creates a seamless experience for international patients.

Recovery Process

Most patients begin walking within 48 hours after surgery. The hospital recommends staying in Turkey for 1-2 weeks post-operation. Follow-up exams and physiotherapy guidance help ensure proper healing.

Interested patients can contact the hospital for personalized consultation and package details.

the staff, the surgeon, and the clinic were exemplary

The procedure went smoothly. However, the representatives initially quoted a price, and upon my arrival, I had to pay a different amount than what had been communicated to me. Aside from this, everything went well: the staff, the surgeon, and the clinic were exemplary.
