C-arm guided Nerve Block Treatment in EMOT Hastanesi
About the clinic
C-arm guided nerve block uses live imaging to guide needle placement during regional anesthesia. At EMOT Hospital in Konak, Izmir, Turkey, Dr. Serhat Gündoğan specializes in nerve blocks and is an ESRA member. The hospital’s operating theatres have C-arm fluoroscopy and ultrasound equipment.
Imaging options at EMOT Hospital
Available imaging tests include:
- Ultrasound (USG) and color Doppler ultrasonography (RDUS)
- MRI and CT scans
- X-ray
Nerve block methods and duration
- C-arm guided nerve block: Fluoroscopy provides live images during needle placement.
- Ultrasound-guided nerve block: Live ultrasound shows nerves, blood vessels, and the needle tip. It supports precise placement near the target nerve and helps reduce the risk of accidental injection into a blood vessel.
- Continuous catheter nerve block: A thin catheter delivers a low dose of local anesthetic near the nerve. After major orthopedic surgery, it can provide continuous pain relief for 2–3 days.
- Peripheral nerve block: Used for arm and leg surgery and selected body procedures. A single injection typically provides a block lasting 8–24 hours. It can also accompany general anesthesia for pain control.
EMOT Hospital is Turkey’s first specialized hand microsurgery, orthopedics, and traumatology hospital. Its dedicated Anesthesiology and Reanimation department provides nerve block services. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss which approach may fit their procedure.

EMOT Hastanesi: more details about the clinic
EMOT Hospital is a specialized facility in Izmir, Turkey, focused on hand microsurgery, orthopedics, and traumatology. Founded in 1991, it grew from a 10-bed unit into a regional reference center. The hospital offers 24/7 emergency care for complex hand injuries and microsurgical reconstructions. A team of 21 doctors and support staff treats musculoskeletal conditions across eight departments.
Clinical Scale and Achievements
The hospital has 62 inpatient beds and multiple surgical theaters. Its clinical volume reflects an established role in Turkish healthcare:
- Nearly 3,000 elective surgeries performed annually
- Over 10,000 outpatient visits managed per year
- 35 years of clinical experience in microsurgery
- Team of 72 total employees including specialized surgeons
A dedicated Quality Management Unit oversees process audits and patient safety. The hospital also conducts clinical research, with published studies on carpal tunnel surgery and finger replantation.
Specialized Medical Directions
Hand and Microsurgery
This flagship department treats complex nerve, tendon, and vascular conditions of the upper limb. Specialists correct syndactyly (fused fingers) through surgical separation. The team also treats nerve compression, including carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndrome. Nerve blocks and microsurgical reconstructions restore sensation and movement in the hands and wrists.
Orthopedics and Traumatology
The orthopedic department covers a broad range of bone and joint conditions. Surgeons perform key procedures for sports injuries and degenerative diseases:
- ACL reconstruction surgery for knee stability
- Rotator cuff repair and Bankart repair for shoulder injuries
- Arthroscopic meniscectomy for torn knee cartilage
- Hallux valgus surgery to correct foot deformities
- Osteosynthesis for displaced clavicle fractures
Specialists also treat Haglund's deformity by removing bone prominences on the heel. This reduces friction on the Achilles tendon and controls chronic inflammation.
Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is built into the surgical care pathway to support functional recovery. The hospital offers inpatient and outpatient programs for musculoskeletal injuries. Specialized protocols address Volkmann ischemic contracture and rheumatologic diseases. The team uses several methods to restore mobility:
- Hydrotherapy – water-based exercise that's gentle on joints
- Electrotherapy for pain relief and muscle stimulation
- Custom splinting and bracing for hand recovery
- Balance training for patients with osteoporosis
The EMOT Plus model adds spine care through the Omurga Sağlığı Merkezi. This unit combines neurology, neurosurgery, and physical therapy for coordinated treatment.
Diagnostic and Surgical Technology
The hospital uses arthroscopy as its primary method for joint surgery. This camera-assisted technique requires only small incisions, so it preserves surrounding tissue. Diagnostic tools include:
- MRI and CT scans for detailed bone and soft tissue imaging
- DEXA scans to measure bone mineral density
- In-house laboratory for blood counts and clinical microbiology
- Foot analysis for gait and orthopedic assessment
Accurate diagnosis during the first consultation helps determine whether conservative or surgical treatment is best. When surgery is needed, specialists use intraoperative imaging and microsurgical instruments.
Services for International Patients
The hospital coordinates care for patients traveling from abroad. Multilingual staff help manage appointments and clinical communication. Specialists offer consultations in English and other languages depending on the department. The facility is in Izmir's Konak district, easily reachable from the international airport.
