About the clinic
Electromyography (EMG) at Büyük Anadolu Hospitals (BAH International) in Istanbul, Samsun, and Kocaeli, Turkey, evaluates the electrical activity of muscles and the nerves that control them. This diagnostic test helps specialists determine if a physical problem originates in the muscle tissue or the nerve cells. The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Certificate from the Turkish Ministry of Health and accreditation from the Turkish Medical Association.
Diagnostic Method and Process
The examination follows a two-stage process to provide a detailed assessment of the neuromuscular system. First, a neurophysiologist performs a surface EMG by placing electrodes on the skin. This step measures the speed and thickness of nerve conduction across specific pathways. During the second stage, the specialist uses a fine needle electrode inserted directly into the muscle tissue.
A neurologist or neurophysiologist interprets the data to identify various conditions. This diagnostic tool is used for several health issues:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome and nerve injuries.
- Cervical or lumbar herniated discs.
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinal cord diseases.
- Diabetes-related nerve damage and kidney disease.
- General muscle and nerve diseases.
Preparation and Setting
Patients receive the EMG as an outpatient service by appointment in the dedicated neurology department. Because skin conductivity is vital for accurate results, patients should bathe before the procedure. It is necessary to remove all jewelry, including rings, earrings, and watches. Wearing loose and easily removable clothing helps the specialist access the testing sites. Patients must inform the medical team of any blood-borne diseases, such as hepatitis or HIV, before the needle stage begins. While the duration varies for each patient, the process can be lengthy and requires a stay in the neurophysiology lab. To start the process for this diagnostic, you may leave a request on Bookimed.

Verified review.
I found the surgical staff and nurses in operating theatre to be extremely understanding and helpful. I was happy with the surgical procedure but would have liked a little more post-op feedback from the surgeon. Overall, though I was more than satisfied.
Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the treatment which I received from the nursing staff, especially at night, although I subsequently found out that they are very short staffed while not having at least one English speaking nurse on duty day or night.
Procedure was very good on the day of surgery.
Friendly and helpful medical coordinator
Friendly nurses during the day. However there was not even one English speaking nurse during every day and every night. The only means of communicating was by phone translator which became tiresome and frustrating.
There needs to be better understanding between the nursing staff and patients. Despite best efforts it all became overwhelming and frustrating. I don’t know why but it was difficult to inform the staff that I was vegetarian. Twice I needed to change the capither myself - seemingly because nurses see it below their station so need to find a nursing assistant to empty the capither bag. To summarise - the medical coordinator was extremely helpful; the care and help by surgical staff and theatre nursing staff was very good. However the treatment from many of the nurses left something to be desired.
