About the clinic
Endoscopic cervical foraminotomy is a minimally invasive spine procedure performed at Carolina Hospital in Warsaw, Poland. The surgery may cost around 39,000 PLN and is led by Dr. Maciej Bujko, a neurosurgeon with 23 years of experience and over 2,500 procedures performed.
Dr. Bujko specializes in endoscopic spinal surgery and holds international instructor qualifications in RIWO Spine techniques. His posterior approach removes cervical disc herniations through a small incision. This allows faster recovery than traditional open surgery.
Treatment package includes:
- Endoscopic foraminotomy with anesthesia
- Medical materials and prosthesis
- 1-day hospital stay in private room
- Pre-op MRI of one area
- Surgeon consultation and lab tests
- 1 hour post-op physiotherapy
The hospital is ISO 9001:2015 certified and recognized as a FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence. Patients typically need only 1 day hospitalization and can move the same day after surgery. Most stay in Poland for 2-3 days total.
This endoscopic method causes less tissue damage than open surgery. It helps patients with nerve compression symptoms like arm pain or weakness. Contact the clinic for personalized cost details and procedure suitability.

Viktoria Rosinska • Online Consultation with Neurosurgeon Poland
Oct 22, 2024
Verified review.
The most terrible experience with a doctor in my life, and both my husband and I have the same opinion, I was not even examined once during 2 visits, apparently, he wanted to go home the first time, because there was no one else after me, I came with a question whether it is possible to get pregnant with my spinal injury, he immediately said yes, get pregnant, why do you ask? He didn't even ask me about my stabilisation or how my spine had healed, he wasn't interested in the consultation at all, he behaved disgustingly, he looked away from his computer twice, it looked like the doctor had "caught a star" and spoke to us as if he didn't even know what he was talking about... I've never seen such disrespect and arrogance from doctors in my life!
The overall impression was spoilt by the star doctor 👎🏽
That every time you come, you have to pay PLN 400 for each consultation, there is no second consultation, as in other normal clinics, absolutely no one is interested in you, "beautiful" private medicine

Нелла • Consultation with a neurosurgeon Ukraine

Verified review.
Everything was top notch
Everything was top notch. Friendly staff at the reception. There was a language barrier, but a Russian-speaking girl quickly came up. They took me to the doctor. The neurosurgeon Tomasz Nitchuk was attentive. Explained everything. Gave answers to all my questions. And special thanks to Bookimed. Everything is operational# accessible. I recommend it to everyone. Good luck.

Vadim • MRI of the lumbar spine Poland
Feb 11, 2023
Verified review.
I paid PLN 350 for a consultation with a neurosurgeon, and the doctor didn’t really say anything, he said, like, I’ll give you the number of a rehabilitator, go to him, pay more and he will show you what exercises to do. For that kind of money, he had to show at least some minimum of exercises.

Dmitrii • Herniated disc surgery Ukraine
May 20, 2025
Verified review.
I was satisfied with the treatment
At the consultation, they answered me everything in detail about my situation, offered me treatment options. I was satisfied with the treatment. Everything is very conveniently organised
That it was cheaper in the end than in other European countries, that it helped me to avoid having to find a doctor and clinic by myself

Damien • Herniated disk Ireland

- Overall, I am delighted with my treatment so far
I am an international patient of the Carolina hospital, travelling from Ireland.
From the very first point of contact by email, all the way through to medical treatment I have had a wonderful experience.
I was offered travel and accommodation arrangements by email long before I had arrived.
Special mention in this regard would have to go to
Dr Lesya Turuk.
She contacted me several times to get all of the arrangements in place before I initially arrived.
Her dedication and professionalism really accentuated the whole process.
Without Dr Turuk's involvement I may not even have bothered travelling abroad for surgery.
Dr Turuk is a credit to the hospital.
The administration staff were very helpful, patient and courteous.
The hospital diagnostic scans MRI, CT Scans, etc. were very detailed.
They took on average 3 times longer for an MRI, but the detail of the picture is much greater as a result.
The Radiography staff were both reassuring and courteous.
I also met 2 Doctors while there, one a Neurosurgeon and the second an Orthopedic hip surgeon.
As this situation is still ongoing I will update my review going forward.
Needless to say they were both highly accomplished, professional and excellent Doctors.
Overall, I am delighted with my treatment so far.
Sincerely
Damien Dowling.
