About the clinic
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) at Medipol University Parkinson's and Movement Disorders Center in Istanbul costs $28,500. The package includes surgery, 3-4 weeks of accommodation, and one year of follow-up care. The procedure is performed by Assoc. Prof. Ali Zirh, a neurosurgeon with 37 years of experience and over 1,000 DBS operations.
Dr. Zirh holds a Guinness World Record for organizing the largest gathering of DBS patients. He has completed more than 1,500 stereotactic and functional neurosurgery procedures.

What the Package Includes
The $28,500 price covers comprehensive care for 3-4 weeks:

Treatment Process
The process begins with thorough pre-operative testing. Patients undergo a physical examination and brain MRI. Doctors also conduct medication evaluations to assess symptom changes.
During surgery, the team implants a Boston Scientific neurostimulator in the brain. This device sends electrical signals to specific brain areas. The signals help control movement symptoms.
After surgery, patients stay for three weeks of programming. The medical team adjusts the device settings to optimize symptom relief. This calibration period is essential for achieving the best results.

The hospital specializes in movement disorders and Parkinson's disease treatment. Its dedicated center provides focused expertise in neurological conditions.
DBS surgery helps patients with Parkinson's disease and dystonia manage motor symptoms more effectively. The one-year follow-up ensures ongoing support and device adjustments as needed. Contact the clinic to discuss your individual case and confirm eligibility for the procedure.

Ali Zirch is the best and he has a good team
Operation DBS. Ali Zirch is the best and he has a good team . Because setting up the equipment is as important process for patients as the operation to install it. Honestly, I can't imagine that such an operation can be done in Ukraine.... Of course, there are young and promising doctors. But there is no equipment.

"But I want to express my deepest and heartfelt thanks to our assistant from the first day, a month before we arrived at Mahmoud Kathab hospital, this young man is gifted with a huge heart, I think he was the person who made me choose MEDIPOL PARMERA etc
I would like to express our satisfaction with the DBS operation, the stay in the hospital, which I dare to say at the world level. Dr. Ali Zirh is an absolute professional, precise, clear, concrete and above all very human. But I want to express my deepest and heartfelt thanks to our assistant from the first day, a month before we arrived at Mahmoud Kathab hospital, this young man is gifted with a huge heart, I think he was the person who made me choose MEDIPOL PARMERA etc. Ali Zarh. Last but not least, I am fascinated by the neurologist Dr. Basak and her team, who for 21 days took care of regulating the exact therapy and impulses of my husband. Our entire stay was reduced to the last detail for our benefit, to feel at home. We have not regretted it for a moment, that we chose MEDIPOL MEGA GROUP, thank you Mahmoud, you were born to help people like us!!!
Please to reword Mahmoud Kathab ,he deserved a lot!!!
