Diagnostic tests like a blood count are around $109, an MRI of the spine cord runs about $575-650, and specialized surgical packages start at $8,000. The clinic is DIN EN ISO 9001 certified and offers all-inclusive care packages with advanced neuromonitoring technology.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Process
Patients start with a consultation with a neurosurgeon. A full diagnostic workup helps plan the correct treatment. This evaluation includes:
- Complete blood count to assess overall health.
- MRI of the spine cord for detailed images of nerve structures.
- CT scan or MRI of one area to visualize bones and soft tissues.
Surgical Treatment Options
The clinic performs two major types of spinal surgery for injuries. Both procedures use modern implants and technology.
The posterior stabilization surgery treats a pars defect in the lower back (L5-S1). It uses a posterior approach with six screws and two rods for stability. Surgery is performed with intraoperative neuromonitoring for safety. Hospital stay is typically three days.
The cervical laminectomy addresses injuries in the neck area. This is a 2-level procedure to relieve pressure on the spinal cord. It includes posterior cervical instrumentation. Patients also stay in the hospital for about three days.
All-Inclusive Surgical Packages
These surgical options come as comprehensive packages. The posterior stabilization package typically costs around €8,500. The cervical laminectomy package is about $8,000. Each includes:
- 3 days of hospitalization with medications and nursing.
- Pre-operative examination by an anesthesia specialist.
- Airport, hotel, and clinic transfers.
- Interpreter services.
The lumbar surgery package also includes a 10-day hotel stay after discharge. It provides a free follow-up examination. Patients receive full support for their recovery journey in Istanbul.
