The cost of vagus nerve stimulation in Turkey typically ranges from $20,000 to $25,000. Pricing depends on the clinic, surgeon experience, device brand (such as Medtronic or LivaNova), and whether the procedure is initial implantation or a battery replacement. In the United States, the average cost is _price_compare_us_average_ (per AAO). This means vagus nerve stimulation in Turkey costs about _price_percent_discount_% less than in the U.S.
Turkish hospitals usually include pre-op tests, general anesthesia, the VNS device and leads, the surgical procedure, one or two hospital nights, and initial programming sessions. In the U.S., the price often covers only the surgeon’s fee and device, with anesthesia, hospital stay, and follow-up programming billed separately. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic.
