About the clinic
Treatment for a spine cyst at Optimed International Hospital in Tekirdag, Turkey, combines advanced neurosurgical techniques with American-accredited safety standards. An online consultation with a neurosurgeon typically costs around $80, while diagnostic imaging like a brain MRI may cost around $250 and a CT scan is around $600. The hospital holds AACI (American Accreditation Commission International) certification and offers specialized neurosurgery for complex spinal conditions.
Diagnostic options for spine cysts
The hospital provides a one-day diagnostic service to identify the type and location of the cyst. Doctors use high-tesla MRI and multi-slice CT scanners to create clear images of the spinal canal and nerve roots. Patients receive a clear plan after these tests. Available diagnostics include:
- Online consultation with neurosurgeon. A preliminary review of your symptoms and existing medical records ($80).
- Ultrasound. Basic imaging to check soft tissues around the spine ($150).
- Brain MRI. High-resolution imaging to view the cyst's impact on the central nervous system ($250).
- Brain MRI with contrast. Uses FLAIR sequence to better distinguish the cyst from surrounding tissue ($300).
- CT (computed tomography). Provides detailed views of the bony structures of the vertebrae ($600).
Surgical treatment methods
Neurosurgical procedures at Optimed focus on removing the cyst while protecting the spinal cord. The choice of surgery depends on whether the cyst is causing nerve compression or spinal instability. The medical team performs the following procedures:
- Microsurgical spinal surgery. Surgeons use a microscope for precision removal of the spine cyst. This technique helps protect healthy tissue.
- Decompressive surgery. This procedure focuses on the decompression of nerve roots. It helps relieve pain and numbness caused by cyst pressure.
- Spinal stabilization surgery. If the cyst removal affects spinal strength, doctors perform fixation. They use screws and plates to keep the spine stable.

If you're thinking about this, my main piece of advice is to be mentally ready for the procedure, as it can be overwhelming. I’m in early recovery from my breast reduction and lift, and I am feeling better than expected. My surgeon was great; he was honest about what results were realistic for my body and clearly explained all the risks, which gave me confidence. The clinic team was easy to reach and stayed in touch. Do be aware of some additional expenses – I had a prescription that cost extra at the pharmacy. A few practical tips: bring a spare compression garment, cotton t-shirts to wear underneath it, and your own snacks. Also, having my mum with me has been pivotal to my recovery, so I'd suggest bringing a companion if you can.
The co-ordinator at Bookimed, Winnington was brilliant. No matter how many questions I had he was able to answer them promptly and with one small hiccup from the hospital Winnington went out of his way to try and package a new procedure for me. My co-ordinator Eyyub at Optimed hospital was outstanding. The hospital was great, the staff on my floor were fantastic. We used goggle translate when the co-ordinator wasn’t with us if we came up against a language barrier but that was not very often. I was cared for before and after my surgery by the nursing staff who could not do enough for myself and my mum. I 10000000% recommend Bookimed & Optimed hospital
Post op instructions could be better. I have suggested to them to put together a general guide of what to do and not to do and for however long. What’s normal and if something doesn’t feel right who to contact etc. I think this will greatly help international patients and help the hospital co-ordinators from being hounded with a load of questions from several patients all at once. Peace of mind for the patient and a little more support for the co-ordinator.
The food is catered for Turkish patients and can be hard for international patients to eat. Again, I have suggested to them to try having a small box of fibrous cereal available at breakfast time and instead of a full meal at lunch time something simple like sandwiches or rolls/bagels/baked goods. Dinner was usually ok and we were able to eat most of that but our daytime diet is a little less than they were providing and there was a lot of food waste which they could minimise & use the money elsewhere if there was a cater to international patients diets.
