Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in Grand Clinic
About the clinic
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery at Grand Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, typically runs around $35,000–$45,500. This specialized procedure helps manage movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and dystonia through precise electrode placement. The clinic is a member of the Turkish Medical Association and holds a 4.5 rating from patient reviews.
The DBS Procedure and Technique
Doctors use MRI or CT scans to identify specific target areas in the brain. During the first part of the surgery, neurosurgeons like Dr. Mehmet, Dr. Mohammad, or Dr. Mesut insert thin electrodes through small holes in the skull. Patients usually stay awake during this portion. This allows the medical team to test electrical impulses and check for improvements in movement immediately. A second incision is made in the chest to place the pulse generator under general anesthesia. The clinic uses internal, self-dissolving sutures, so there is no need for a follow-up visit to remove them.
Preparation and Hospital Stay
The surgical program typically lasts about 7 days. Patients must arrive for blood tests and a consultation with the surgeon before noon on the day before the procedure. Smoking must stop two weeks before the surgery to help the healing process. Patients also need to fast for eight hours before the operation. The standard surgical plan includes one night of hospitalization for monitoring. Afterward, the doctor schedules follow-up visits between day 3 and day 7 to check the recovery progress.
What the Package Includes
Grand Clinic offers different service levels for international patients. The packages generally cover several essential costs to make the stay easier:
- Medical Services: Pre-operative blood tests, surgical consultations, and follow-up visits.
- Hospitalization: A one-night stay in the hospital after the procedure.
- Transportation: Transfers between the airport and the clinic are provided.
- VIP Options: Some plans include specialized VIP transfers for all travel between the airport, hotel, and clinic.
Patients should note that airfare and hotel accommodation are usually not part of the standard price. The clinic also asks patients to disclose any history of hepatitis B or C during the initial stages of planning.
