About the clinic

Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery for hydrocephalus is performed at NP Istanbul Brain Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The procedure may cost around $7,850 and includes a 3-night hospital stay. The key advantage is Professor Mustafa Bozbuga's 30+ years of neurosurgical experience at JCI-accredited facilities.

About the Procedure

VP shunt surgery helps drain excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain. The standard neurosurgical approach uses a thin tube to divert fluid into the abdominal cavity. This relieves pressure that causes headaches, nausea, and cognitive issues.

Treatment Package Includes

  • Neurosurgery consultation
  • VP shunt surgery
  • Pre-operative lab tests
  • Related radiology scans
  • Anesthesia consultation
  • 3 days hospitalization
  • Free airport transfers
  • Interpreter services
