In February 2021, my daughter Vlada was diagnosed with anaplastic ependymoma, we went to the doctors for a week trying to find out why the child started having severe headaches. They went through examinations, did an MRI, and as a fact, they found a brain tumor. That's when the ground slipped from under my feet. Realization has come - this has already happened, which means you need to quickly take action. The first thing we did was go to the children's hospital in Kyiv, the child was given a shunt. But unfortunately, fluid began to collect in my head and my vision began to fall sharply. The doctors explained that an operation was urgently needed. We did not have a large accumulated amount, and we decided to complete the operation abroad. We contacted Bookmed. We contacted the employee Marina. Marina quickly found a clinic for us in Turkey, organized a trip for us, flew to Turkey in a matter of days. The hospital was already waiting for us. Examined, took blood for tests and the next day an operation was scheduled. Everything went well. Then they underwent a course of radiotherapy. The results are positive, we were sent home to Ukraine (August 2021). Every 3 months they underwent MRI, the pictures were good .. But a year later, in March 2022, we heard the terrible words “relapse”, “war”. Hastily collected the necessary documents and left for Lviv. From there, by large buses, all children with cancer began to be taken out along the humanitarian corridor from Ukraine to Europe. The daughter and his wife were assigned to France. A second operation was performed, the tumor was removed, and after that a course of chemotherapy was prescribed. After a month of taking the course, the doctor said that chemotherapy was not helping. The doctor suggested experimental chemotherapy, but that didn't help either. As a result, the daughter is getting worse and worse every day. The child began to walk badly, the right leg and handle practically do not work. The child melted before my eyes. It's all very scary, but it's worse to leave Vlad without an opportunity for treatment. I again turned to Marina Bookmed Marina again very quickly found us a hospital in Turkey, helped us with the flight Paris Istanbul. Arrived at the hospital 2 days later, the operation was successful!!! After the operation, the child began to talk, swallow, and after a couple of days to walk. What I want to say Bookmed in particular Marina Provided us with moral support documentary for the second time at the highest level. Marina many thanks to you and your team THANK YOU."},"order":{"illness":{"id":236,"name":{"en":"Brain tumor"}}},"clinic_info":{"id":85,"name":"Medipol Mega University Hospital","alias":"medipol-mega-hastaneler-kompleksi","flags":[{"name":"is_hide","value":false},{"name":"has_active_agencies","value":false}]},"created_at":"2022-09-23T05:15:53.000+00:00","flags":[{"name":"is_approved","value":true},{"name":"is_anonymously","value":false},{"name":"is_notification_sent","value":false},{"name":"would_recommend","value":true},{"name":"has_client_feedback","value":true},{"name":"coordinator_mentioned","value":true},{"name":"deactivated_clinic","value":false}],"images":[{"full_url":"review/632d48179ed0c_b.jpeg","preview_url":"review/632d48179ed0c_s.jpeg"},{"full_url":"review/632d481c319b7_b.jpeg","preview_url":"review/632d481c319b7_s.jpeg"}],"comment_about_bookimed":{"en":"Undoubtedly"},"summary":{"positive":{"en":"\"Marina Provided us with moral support documentary for the second time at the highest level.\"Return: About the Doctor: \"The doctors explained that an operation was urgently needed\", \"The doctor suggested experimental chemotherapy, but that didn't help either.\" About the Clinic: \"Realization has come - this has already happened, which means you need to quickly take action.

"}}},"faq":[{"id":"69e1687c25e31cec3003e992","question":"Is it safe to have nerve surgery for Klumpke's palsy in Turkey?","answer":"Nerve surgery for Klumpke's palsy in Turkey is safe at JCI-accredited facilities using advanced intraoperative neuromonitoring to protect nerve function. High safety standards are maintained by board-certified neurosurgeons and orthopedic specialists with decades of experience in microsurgical nerve grafting and transfers.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While many choose Istanbul for its volume, Private Medicabil Hospital in Bursa reports a 99.9% orthopedic success rate. Patients seeking peripheral nerve surgery should prioritize clinics like Liv Hospital Ulus, which provide personalized staged management including detailed MRI and EMG diagnostics before surgery.
Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize that realistic expectations are essential, as surgery often focuses on preventing further decline. Many advise arranging local physiotherapy and nerve-conduction studies before traveling to ensure seamless post-operative care.

JCI-accredited centers utilize nerve grafting, nerve transfers like the Oberlin or intercostal techniques, and free functioning muscle transfers (FFMT) to address lower brachial plexus injuries within modern neurological facilities.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish specialists emphasize that post-operative physiotherapy represents 50% of the total success. Leading surgeons like Prof. Dr. İlhan Elmacı at Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital integrate intraoperative neuromonitoring to ensure nerve protection. This comprehensive approach frequently yields a 70% hand function recovery rate at 18 months post-surgery.
Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize that surgical timing is critical, recommending interventions within 12 months for optimal results. Many noted significant improvements in claw hand conditions through complex muscle transfers and dedicated rehabilitation programs.

Immediate intervention is required for severe structural injuries like nerve avulsions or ruptures confirmed by MRI or EMG testing to prevent permanent muscle atrophy.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data from top Turkish centers like Memorial Şişli and Liv Hospital Ulus show a shift toward nerve transfers over traditional grafting. Surgeons like Prof. Erkan Kaptanoglu emphasize that transfers typically provide faster reinnervation. This is crucial as motor end-plates in the hand degrade rapidly without a nerve signal. Choosing a university-affiliated hospital ensures access to advanced intraoperative neuromonitoring, which significantly improves the precision of these delicate microsurgeries.
Patient Consensus: Many families report that early EMG and NCS testing was the turning point in deciding on surgery. Patients often feel most confident when moving to surgical options after a clear plateau in their 3-month rehabilitation progress.

Patients typically see initial muscle flickers within three to six months, while full functional results and hand muscle strengthening often require two years of consistent rehabilitation.
Bookimed Expert Insight: High-volume centers like Liv Hospital or Memorial Şişli prioritize early neuroplasticity by involving rehabilitation teams within the first week. Data indicates that while nerve grafts take 6–8 months for motor return, nerve transfers often show results by month 4. Choosing a surgeon like Prof. Erkan Kaptanoğlu, who specializes in pediatric neurosurgery and stem cell research, can provide access to more advanced nerve-repair protocols.
Patient Consensus: Expect a slow pace and potential progress plateaus between months 12 and 18. Success depends heavily on arranging specialized hand therapy in your home country before departing for surgery abroad.

Success depends heavily on surgical timing, with procedures performed within 3 to 6 months of injury yielding the highest prognosis for muscular recovery and functional nerve regeneration.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Success in Turkey is driven by a massive volume of neurosurgical cases, with clinics like Liv Hospital Ulus serving over 331,000 patients annually. This high frequency allows surgeons to refine microsurgical techniques for rare brachial plexus injuries like Klumpke's. We see a trend where combining surgery with robotic rehabilitation at specialized centers like Fizyomer Terapia leads to much faster muscle reactivation than surgery alone.
Patient Consensus: Many patients emphasize that getting multiple nerve conduction studies is the best predictor of success. While partial recovery is common, most report functional gains like improved hand grip even if a slight claw hand remains.

Specialized hand surgery units in Istanbul and Antalya integrate intraoperative neuromonitoring to maximize nerve recovery in complex brachial plexus cases.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While hospital branding is strong in Istanbul, surgical experience is the primary differentiator. Prof. Erkan Kaptanoglu at Estexper Clinic specializes in autologous stem cell therapy for nerve regeneration. This advanced approach can significantly complement traditional neurorrhaphy to improve functional outcomes in severe palsy cases.
Patient Consensus: Many families recommend seeking second opinions on nerve studies before surgery. Success often depends on coordinating early surgery with long-term, intensive physical therapy once home.
