About the clinic
Glial tumor removal using microsurgical techniques at Medipol Mega University Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey costs €14,000 for a complete 5-day package. The procedure is performed by Prof. Dr. Nejat Akalan, a pioneer neurosurgeon who has authored 117 peer-reviewed papers and leads the Neurosurgery Department. The hospital holds Turkey's first Joint Commission International Academic Accreditation.
The surgery uses advanced microsurgical methods under a high-powered operating microscope. Surgeons combine this with intraoperative navigation technology. This approach removes the maximum amount of tumor while protecting healthy brain tissue. The precision of microsurgery reduces the risk of neurological complications.
What the Package Includes
The €14,000 package covers complete care for convexity tumor removal:
- Pre-operative consultation and all hospital examinations
- Microsurgical tumor removal procedure
- 1 day in ICU plus 3-4 days in regular ward
- Post-operative neurologic control within 9 days at no extra cost
- MRI or CT imaging for surgery planning
Patients stay in the hospital for 5 days total. The first day is spent in intensive care. The remaining 3-4 days are in a regular ward with daily neurologic monitoring.
The Surgical Team and Technology
Prof. Dr. Nejat Akalan specializes in brain and nerve surgery and oncology. He has pioneered minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques in Turkey. His work includes a published textbook on neurosurgery. The hospital provides 25 operating theatres and 127 ICU beds.
The facility uses intraoperative 3T MRI technology. This allows surgeons to verify tumor removal during the operation. Additional tools include Gamma Knife and CyberKnife systems for complementary treatment if needed.
Recovery and Follow-Up
Doctors monitor patients daily after surgery. A control MRI is performed before discharge. Patients receive an individualized physiotherapy plan. Early mobilization begins as soon as medically safe. A neurosurgery follow-up consultation ensures proper healing.
The hospital recommends staying in Turkey for 15-20 days total. This allows time for pre-operative preparation and post-surgical recovery. Payment is accepted by card, cash in EUR or USD, or bank transfer.
