About the clinic

Treatment for a spinal cord abscess is available at Central Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The medical team provides specialized care through advanced imaging and surgical techniques. Diagnostics may cost around $180 for an ultrasound, $200 for an online consultation, or $400–$800 for an MRI scan. The clinic uses a da Vinci robotic system for minimally invasive procedures to improve surgical precision.

Diagnostic options for spinal cord abscess

Quick and accurate imaging is the first step in managing a spinal cord abscess. Central Hospital uses AI-powered tools to analyze scans. These high-resolution images help the neurosurgeon locate the infection precisely. Patients can start with the following tests:

  • Ultrasound. This initial scan helps doctors view soft tissues and may cost around $150–$400.
  • Online consultation with neurosurgeon. Patients can discuss their symptoms and scans remotely for around $180–$220.
  • MRI of one area. The hospital uses a 3 Tesla MRI to create detailed images of the spine, typically costing around $350–$750.

Surgical treatment and advanced technology

Op. Dr. Ayhan Kara specializes in neurosurgery and manages cases involving spinal infections. The surgical plan often involves removing the abscess to relieve pressure on the spinal cord. Central Hospital focuses on methods that reduce physical trauma to the patient.

  • Minimally invasive spine surgery. Surgeons use small incisions to access the spinal area. This approach helps shorten the recovery period.
  • Robotic-assisted surgery. The clinic uses the da Vinci system for complex spinal procedures. This technology allows for greater accuracy during delicate operations.
  • Computer-aided surgical planning. Doctors use AI-powered MRI and CT scans to map out the surgery before it begins.
  • High-resolution tomography. This tool provides clear views of the bone and tissue surrounding the abscess during the treatment process.

Central Hospital is equipped with modern neonatal intensive care units and high-resolution angiography for complex cases. The facility combines human expertise with AI-driven diagnostics to handle nerve and brain conditions. You can request a consultation for a spinal cord abscess through the Bookimed platform.

I had such a positive experience with Dr. Majid Ismayilzada ✨ From the very first consultation, I felt safe, understood, and truly cared for. He is incredibly professional, detail-oriented, and attentive to every detail. The procedure went smoothly, and the results are exactly what I hoped for — natural, harmonious, and beautiful 🤍 I’m so grateful for his dedication and precision. A special thank you to his consultant, Olga 🌸 She was always kind, supportive, and available whenever I had questions. She made the entire journey comfortable and stress-free. Highly recommend Dr. Majid Ismayilzada and his amazing team! 🙏✨

Hospital looks very clean and nice and it's very organized. Most of the staff is OK but not all the nurses are caring. While some of them are always friendly and helpful, other orget about you when sitting in the patient room or don't treat you too kindly, and when you call them they come all grumpy like you are disturbing them
