A basic ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement may cost around $6,500, while the clinic's premium surgical package is typically priced at about $11,300. The neurosurgery department is JCI-accredited and led by Dr. Ertugrul Pinar, who specializes in hydrocephalus.

Diagnostic Process

Diagnosis begins with a clinical assessment by a neurosurgeon. The clinic uses advanced imaging for confirmation. Available options include:

  • Neurosurgeon consultation, typically around $135.
  • Brain MRI scan, which costs around $640.
  • Brain CT scan, priced at approximately $500.
  • A Multidisciplinary clinical examination for complex cases, with a price around $745.

Treatment Options

Dr. Ertugrul Pinar leads a dedicated hydrocephalus team. He has 6 years of focused experience. He has performed over 900 procedures. The hospital offers several surgical approaches based on the patient's condition.

  • Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) Shunt Placement: This is a standard surgical implant. It diverts excess cerebrospinal fluid. The package includes two days of hospital stay, the shunt implant, and 24-hour monitoring. It may cost around $6,500.
  • Hydrocephalus Surgery Package: This is a premium all-inclusive option. It covers three nights in the hospital, pre-operative imaging, VIP transfers, an interpreter, and meals. This package typically runs about $11,300.
  • Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV): This is a minimally invasive alternative. It creates a new fluid pathway inside the brain. It may avoid a permanent shunt implant. The package for this procedure with EVD involves 10-12 hospital nights and specialized equipment. Its price is around $13,800.

Open Craniotomy is also available for complex cases requiring a skull opening. The multidisciplinary team includes specialists in urology and rehabilitation for comprehensive care.

My journey felt "perfect"

What stood out most was the surgeon's personal approach. He showed me exactly what would be removed and set very realistic expectations for weight loss, which built a lot of trust. He even visited me personally after my sleeve gastrectomy. My journey felt "perfect". The care was solid. The main challenge was communication, as the "language could improve" among some team members. From a practical standpoint, the final bill had no surprises or additional expenses. I stayed in the hospital for more than six nights, and the clinic has remained easy to reach since I left, which is a great support during this recovery phase.
