About the clinic

Medipol Mega University Hospital in Istanbul treats herniated disks with a full range of services. Diagnostics like MRIs are around $250-$450, while treatments include minimally invasive surgery starting at $4,300. The clinic's 35-year chief neurosurgeon uses advanced intra-operative MRI and navigation systems.

Diagnostics and Consultation

Accurate diagnosis is the first step. A specialist neurosurgeon consultation typically costs around $120. The hospital offers comprehensive imaging on modern equipment. This includes MRI and CT scans of the spine. Detailed blood panels and pre-operative tests are also available. A full diagnostic workup may cost between $400 and $700.

Treatment Options

Treatment is tailored to the severity of the condition. The clinic provides both non-surgical and surgical pathways.

  • Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy: This is a minimally invasive keyhole surgery. It removes the herniated disc through a tiny incision. The procedure typically costs between $9,400 and $12,000. The package includes surgery, pre-tests, and 1-2 nights of hospitalization.
  • Lumbar Microsurgical Discectomy: This is the gold-standard single-level disc removal. It uses a high-magnification microscope. This option may cost around $4,300 to $6,000 and includes a hospital stay of 1-3 nights.
  • Complex Spinal Fusion: For severe cases with instability, posterior instrumentation and fusion is performed. This stabilization surgery may cost between $25,000 and $30,000. It includes a 2-3 night hospital stay.
  • Comprehensive Conservative Program: This non-surgical program is designed to avoid surgery. It includes 10 physiotherapy sessions, an epidural injection, and radio-frequency treatment. The outpatient package may cost around $3,000 to $4,000.

Expertise and Technology

The Neurosurgery Department is led by Prof. Nejat Akalan. He has _doctor_263_years_ of experience in advanced spinal techniques. The JCI-accredited hospital uses intra-operative MRI and surgical navigation. These technologies guide precise, minimally invasive procedures.

I liked everything — how they provided transport to the hospital for consultations and follow-up appointments, how they advised — very respectful and empathic. And if we were waiting for a doctor’s appointment, it was comfortable — in VIP rooms with tea, coffee and cookies))) THANKS HUGE FOR SUCH A WARM RECEPTION !!!! Separately, I would like to note the work of our ANSAR coordinator - this is really a wonderful professional, a man of his word, he has everything under control and you don’t worry for anything! This man advised us all 24/7 !!!! THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP IN ALL! !!! Another employee of this hospital who just perfectly completed his work (even more than ideal) is BABAJAN! He literally translated everything, tried to help the ophthalmologist as well with examining a child, he’s always happy to ask questions because he’s always happy to help. To meet such amazing people abroad, far from home is just happiness! I will not tire of repeating that the more professional a person is, the more human qualities and tact are in him. This is Babajan about you! We are very grateful to you as a whole family! Thank you very much for a nice and very kind girl, translator-Aisalkyn! Competent, tactful and very nice ! Briefly about the doctors, we had an ophthalmologist for the child and a gynecologist for me. I am completely happy and would like to return to them!

Neredeyse eşimle beraber 5 yıldır her zor durumda kaldığımızda ziyaret ederek hizmet aldığımız, tedavi olduğumuz hatta ameliyat olduğumuz hastane. Türkiye'de daha mükemmeli yoktur diye düşünüyorum.

Bu verdiğim 5 yıldız sadece doc. Dr Hasan demirhan ve Professor Dr yıldırım bayazit’a Yurt dışından geldim ve bu iki doktor çok iyi ve ilgiliydi ondan hariç yeşil kart ya da SSK yoksa para tuzağı. Bu iki doktoru KBB için kesinlikle öneririm.
