Pituitary adenoma Treatment in Emsey Hospital
About the clinic
Emsey Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey provides complete care for pituitary adenoma. Diagnostics such as an MRI cost around $400-$500, while standard surgery may be $6,800. More comprehensive endoscopic packages with hospital stays are typically $20,000 to $22,000. The clinic's neurosurgeons utilize modern endoscopic techniques for a less invasive approach.
Diagnostic Evaluation
Accurate diagnosis is the first step. Emsey Hospital offers a full diagnostic workup. This includes consultations with a neurosurgeon and an endocrinologist. Advanced imaging is performed using a 3 Tesla MRI scanner for detailed views. The facility also provides other key tests.
- Neurosurgeon and Endocrinologist Consultations
- 3 Tesla MRI of the brain
- Scintigraphy and ultrasound
- Routine and endocrinological blood tests
A preliminary diagnostics package is available and may cost around $600. This helps create a precise treatment plan.
Surgical Treatment Options
Dr. Umut Dogu Akturk, MD, leads the neurosurgical team. He has 17 years of experience in the field. His background includes training at major Turkish hospitals like Haceteppe University. He also has an affiliation with Johns Hopkins.
Two main surgical methods are offered for pituitary adenoma removal.
- Pituitary Tumor Surgery: This uses a transsphenoidal approach through the nasal cavity. It provides direct access to the tumor. The package often includes an 8-10 day hospital stay.
- Endoscopic Direct Approach: This is a minimally invasive option. Surgeons use a high-definition endoscope through the nose. This technique avoids a craniotomy and minimizes scarring. Hospital stays can be up to 20 days.
Treatment Packages and Pricing
Emsey Hospital structures care into inclusive packages. This simplifies the process for international patients. A standard surgical package may be around $6,800. It covers the procedure and hospital stay.
More extensive endoscopic packages provide greater inclusion. They typically cost between $20,000 and $27,500. These packages often bundle many services together.
- Surgeon and team fees with the operating room
- Pre-operative consultations and advanced imaging
- Hospital stays ranging from 10 to 20 days
- Daily physician visits and all meals
- Some packages include post-discharge hotel accommodation
The JCI-accredited hospital uses stereotactic neurosurgery and neuronavigation for precision. This technology supports the surgeons' expertise. If you are considering treatment for a pituitary adenoma, contact the clinic to discuss your individual case and package options.
