Hydrocephalus Treatment in Medical Park Göztepe Hospital Complex
About the clinic
Medical Park Göztepe Hospital Complex in Istanbul, Turkey, provides comprehensive diagnosis and neurosurgical treatment for hydrocephalus. Treatment costs vary by type, with diagnostics like an MRI of one area around $500-$700. A shunt operation may cost around $10,000, while an endoscopic third ventriculostomy is typically around $17,000. The clinic's neurosurgical team is led by specialists like Prof. Dr. Doğan Güçlühan Güçlü, working within a JCI-accredited hospital.
Diagnostics for Hydrocephalus
Accurate diagnosis is the first step. The hospital offers advanced imaging and analysis.
- MRI imaging provides detailed brain scans. The price for imaging one area may range from $500 to $700.
- Biopsy involves taking a tissue sample for analysis. This diagnostic procedure may cost around $2,000.
Surgical Treatment Options
The clinic performs several advanced neurosurgical procedures. Each option is designed to manage cerebrospinal fluid flow and relieve pressure on the brain.
- Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV): This is a minimally invasive procedure. Surgeons use an endoscope to create a new pathway for fluid drainage in the brain. The package often includes 4-5 days of hospitalization, pre-op tests, and all associated medical fees.
- Shunt Operation: This involves implanting a thin tube (shunt) to divert excess fluid. The quoted package typically covers up to 3 days of hospital stay, surgery fees, medications, and pre-operative tests.
- Ventriculostomy Package: This procedure creates an opening to drain fluid. The package price typically includes 2-3 days of hospitalization and comprehensive medical care.
- Shunt Removal + ETV: For some patients, a combined procedure is best. It involves removing an old shunt and performing a new endoscopic ventriculostomy. The comprehensive package covers 3 nights of hospitalization and all surgical components.
What Treatment Packages Include
The surgical packages aim to provide all-inclusive care for international patients.
- Hospitalization for the specified number of days.
- All surgeon, assistant, and anesthetist fees.
- Operating room and nursing charges.
- Pre-operative laboratory tests and radiology.
- Medical supplies and procedure medications.
- Stay for one accompanying person (in most packages).
Patients should plan for additional days in Istanbul for follow-up checks. The hospital provides support like airport transfers. For a precise treatment plan and cost estimate, a consultation with a neurosurgeon is essential.
