Epilepsy treatment at Valued Med Hub Hospitals

Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) surgery for epilepsy at VMH Hospitals in Istanbul, Turkey starts from $21,500 USD. The clinic offers two advanced VNS device options with comprehensive packages that include all medical services, hospitalization, and follow-up care. Prof. Dr. Sait Ozturk, a neurosurgeon with 15 years of experience, leads the treatment program.

VNS Device Options

The clinic provides two VNS systems for epilepsy management. The Smart VNS uses Model 106 Aspire Epilepsy Battery. This option requires seven adjustment sessions over two months. Patients stay in Turkey for approximately 8 weeks for the complete treatment cycle.

The Ultra-Smart VNS features Model 1000 Sentiva with automatic battery adjustment. This advanced system reduces the need for frequent manual adjustments. The stay duration varies based on individual recovery needs. Prices range from $21,500 to $27,500 USD depending on the chosen device.

What's Included in the Package

Both VNS packages cover all essential medical services:

• Surgeon, assistant surgeon, and anesthesiologist fees
• Operating room charges
• 1-2 days hospitalization in a standard room
• Pre-operative laboratory tests and radiology
• Medical equipment and supplies
• Procedure-related medications
• Airport and hospital transfers
• Initial battery settings after surgery

Diagnostic Evaluation

Before VNS surgery, patients undergo a diagnostic package priced at $2,500-$3,500 USD. This includes consultations with both a neurosurgeon and neurologist. The evaluation also covers brain MRI and video EEG monitoring. These tests help determine if VNS surgery is the right treatment option.
