Surgical Treatment Options
Surgery is the main treatment to drain excess fluid from the brain. The clinic performs minimally invasive shunt placement procedures. Patients stay in the hospital for about four days. The procedure is performed by Dr. Melih Uc, who has performed over 1,100 neurosurgical operations.
- Standard Shunt Implantation: This procedure costs around $18,000. The price covers the surgery, hospital stay, all tests, and medications. It also includes airport transfers and accommodation for an accompanying person.
- Programmable Shunt Surgery: This advanced option is around $21,000. It uses an adjustable valve system. The valve can be fine-tuned after surgery without another operation. This package includes the same comprehensive services as the standard surgery.
