Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion in Central Hospital

About the clinic

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is a specialized spine surgery performed at Central Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. This procedure helps patients suffering from herniated discs or bone spurs in the neck. The clinic uses minimally invasive techniques and robotic surgery to help patients recover faster.

Advanced Surgical Methods and Planning

The Orthopedics and Spine Surgery Clinic at Central Hospital uses computer-aided planning systems for every ACDF procedure. Surgeons use these systems to map out the surgery before it begins. The medical team relies on advanced digital X-rays, MRI scans, and computed tomography for clear imaging. These tools help the doctor see the exact position of the nerves and vertebrae in the neck. The hospital specializes in minimally invasive techniques. These methods involve smaller incisions, which typically cause less pain after the operation.

Experienced Spine Specialists

Expert surgeons lead the spine department at Central Hospital. Prof. Dr. Nurullah Ermiş is a specialist in orthopedics and spine surgery. He works alongside Op. Dr. Ayhan Kara, who focuses on brain and nerve surgery. Together, they handle complex cases involving the cervical spine. Their collaborative approach focuses on relieving pressure on the spinal cord and stabilizing the neck. Patients receive care from a team that combines orthopedic expertise with neurosurgical precision.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Rehab starts shortly after the ACDF surgery to help restore mobility. Central Hospital provides on-site physical therapy services for all spine patients. This means you do not have to travel to another facility for your recovery exercises. The rehabilitation team works with the surgeons to create a personal plan for each patient. These services focus on strengthening the neck muscles and improving range of motion. Having therapy and surgery in the same building helps the doctors monitor your progress closely.

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
